Indeed and on refection possibly could have resulted in another penalty and perhaps Dunk being sent off . This though is Dunk in a microcosm , he's quick to spot issues and takes responsibility to solve them and in the past that has cost him cards and a lot of slagging off by various people on this forum. Personally I prefer him playing his natural game and taking the chances. Not sure if the handling was intentional though.

Immense tackle/foul, depending on your interpretation, wouldn't have Dunky any other way.

He did what he had to do and got away with one along the way.
His only intent was making sure the ball didn’t go in the net. Excellent defending, terrible tackle. Funny how it can be both.

Incredible. They really think more people will watch it on this Quest channel (if they've got it - I'm not sure I have) than watch it on Channel 5?
Can you imagine what would have happened if the ref had given another penalty?
We certainly wouldn't be complaining about the lack of media coverage this morning.
Most impressive thing for me about Dunk (who was captain remember) that as everyone was celebrating the save and his tackle, he was bellowing at others to get in position for the corner. He hasn’t half matured as a player over the last 2-3 seasons. Sure CH has had a lot to do with that.

It was a fantastic tackle - regardless of the fact that it may not have been entirely legal.
What would VAR done for it? Being neutral for a minute, the original penalty may have been reversed. If not, Dunk would almost certainly have been penalised and a second penalty given. There would have been a good 5 minutes delay while both incidents were thoroughly chewed over. VAR would have turned an adreneline-filled, thrilling 2 minutes action into a sterile, boring mundane technical process.

Dunk was solely looking to get his leg across the side of the post to put a barrier between Adams and the goal - we was looking to make sure his foot didn't hit the post
What happened to the ball and where it went was coincidental - sole focus of Dunk was if my leg is in the way he won't score
Then as you say was straight up shouting at everyone re the pending corner ( whilst thinking it rather good another penalty not given )

MOTD said it could and perhaps should have been another penalty for handball by Dunk to clear the ball. I think that would have been very hard on him.

Well I was wondering when we'd get some good luck. On balance, does this count?

And there'd be nothing to talk about today. VAR will suck the life out of the game.

Forget the tackle.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned ENCROACHMENT yet. That penalty should have been re-taken, there were half a dozen players in the box, including Dunk, before the penalty was struck.
Its one of those rules that always seems to be ignored (as this thread shows). We got away with that one, it was shocking refereeing.

Anyone thinking we got away with one... Remember it was a certain Mr Shawcross who got away with an absolute STONEWALLER on GM a few months back....
