Penalty?

I haven't seen a thread on this so....... Deep into the second half a through ball to Murray looked to have been cleared by the defender's arm. From my view it looked deliberate (Blue and white tinted specs on!!) and a nailed on pen. I saw that the ref's view was obscured from the handball, but I immediately looked at the lino (I know he has been slated on another thread), who ignored the infringement!!!!! Anyone else see this

Napier's Knee said:

I'm in the North and saw it reasonably well - it would have been very very harsh if given. But I took something else from the match. In the first half it looked as if Knockaert was elbowed in the face, but the ref gave nothing. I wonder if some legit fouls against AK, and to a lesser degree Skalak too, will not be given because both players can make it look as if they've been shot by a sniper when they go down (sometimes s little easily too).
