May I ask why you remembered this? Is it because you thought it was a perfectly fair and inconsequential challenge? Or was it because you thought we got away with one?

I agree, but in fairness I remember Duffy doing far worse to Zaha at the Amex a few years ago. Lovely stuff, but I was waiting for the ref to blow for the penalty. Think he bottled it, as it was in the first 5 minutes or so.

I would be a bit peeved if any of them were given against us, but i don't think I would claim they weren't penalties. A trip, a shove and a handball. All of them are squarely in the "seen them given" range.

I think the "proximity" argument is predominantly used by Shearer, in cases where the result is impactful to Newcastle.

I think all 3 would not have been overturned if the ref gives them and that is the crux of my issue. Last season refs gave more penalties against us (8) than for us (6). Although we were one of the top recipients of pens last season, refs waved away a lot more. Including 2 official PGMOL...

I've mentioned it before, but even the highly regarded Michael Oliver was determined to not give us penalties against Brentford last season. He "missed" the handball for the penalty that was eventually given by VAR, and then saw but waved away, the handball a few minutes later. Solly was...

No evidence? Remind me how many PGMOL apologies did we receive last season? I seem to recall 2 for penalties one given against one not given for ( in a game where 2 other penalties were not given/checked) We were also nearly top for penalties conceded - 6 for, 8 against. This is despite...

Cheap, maybe, but highly likely to be given as a free kick outside the box.

I even heard someone say Pervis made a meal of it with a theatrical dive!! Not sure what he was supposed to do after a forceful barge in the back.

We are one of a handful of clubs that just aren't given penalties that other clubs are. Plenty will claim that all fans think that way. That may be true, to a certain extent, but there just aren't as many occasions where I think we got away with one there. If the same scenario happens against...
