Same, I was sitting 5 rows back in I block of WSL and it was a good tackle.

Never a penalty.
Also, i cant recall the Lino flagging for a "foul" either. Also, if it was actually a foul which gave away a penalty - why didnt Calde get a card ?

He didn't. The lino was signalling a corner.

Again shows the lack of communication between officials. Absolutely no idea why the referee didnt even bother to talk with the lino !!

Still, we've had all this before with refs & B'muff. Who could ever forget that last min pen at Withdean when arms were raised outside the penalty area?
What you chatting about you absolute loon, he had the option to give a corner which is what it was, jeez.

Aren't they miked up know? Still, would have made sense to be seen to consult him. Whether he would have changed his mind or even if the lino would suggest it wasn't, we'll never know.

Hooper is the sort of ref whose attitude is "I'm in charge" and will ignore the advice from his assistants.

No option but to give it? He could always have looked at the location of the ball and questioned how it got there and given the corner his lino was signalling for.

We were in N I block and the red seemed to be signalling for a corner but then seemed to awkwardly move the flag when Albion players were pointing to him.
I thought he bottled it. The ref didn't seem to have a great view. The lino had a perfect view - we were near enough behind him.

Just because it is a penalty doesn't mean it was a bookable offence. It is just another foul which happens to be in the penalty area. If every foul was a bookable offence you would never finish a match.
Yes, you've missed everything about it. A great tackle and the ball diverted so clearly, no danger to opponent, ball out of play and then opponent fell over tackler. Couldn't have been clearer. A shock to all when the little dictator wasted no time in arrogantly pointing to the spot.
Normally you would be correct that it "didn't need to be made" but in this case I think it did as the entire defence had been wrong footed by an awful/naive passage of play and it looked like he would score.

And having watched the replay on Sky, I think I will backtrack a bit more by saying that Calderon had a much better sight of the ball than I first thought, so the tackle wasn't as risky as my post suggested.
