Funny isn't it, I was front row behind goal and thought it was nailed on pen, guy I spoke to at HT 40 rows up said he dived. Harsh yellow but right when looking at TV later ... the beautiful game

look at the Barnsley players upper body contact. He has his arm raised and pushed Baldock and so should have been a penalty.

Dive. Also correct decision on the Dunk 'handball'. The attacker shoved his arm onto the ball.

True. Even at walking football, we have one guy like that - ex-army, works out at the gym, leads with his elbows, goes down screaming if you tap his ankle!
Must be down to angles as I'm sure if ref had my view he'd have given a penalty, even though having seen it on TV it obviously wasn't.

But if a penalty had been given,would he have converted it?

On Ch 5 Chris Iwellumo said that in real time it looked a cert penalty but when slowing it down the ref was right. How can he have been as he saw it in quick time so should have given a penalty not Baldock a card.

Because the ref saw it from a completely different angle to anyone else watching, video replays have shown the initial decision by the ref to be correct.
Iwelumo will have seen a video of it, I doubt he was at the game, and his first reaction, like many of those who have posted on this thread who were there, was that Baldock had been fouled. However Chris Iwelumo and everyone else posting on this thread can admit when they got something wrong and realise that the ref was correct, something you may not understand.

The end product was correct no problem but I do not see how the ref reached that decision at the time of the incident.

You went, I love you.
He was behind play, we were in front. From the front it looked like a penalty, from behind it clearly didn't.

So it paid for him not being able to keep up with play. No problem really as it wasnt an important decision even a yellow for Baldock.

So you are saying he should have got it wrong?
The ref had a pretty decent view, possibly one player slightly obscuring this view. He is at a nice angle to see the challenge but about 20-25 yards behind play. His view is unique and cannot be replicated by the TV replay and totally different to the Brighton players at the game. I've included a screenshot to show the position of the ref, it doesn't show what he actually saw though so cannot be used to judge that.
No ref should be that close to the play, maybe he should be around 5 or so yards closer but certainly not right on top of play which is what you are implying.
