I think they should have had one late on when Duffy grtabbed a handful of Wilbrahams shirt but full credit to Lee Johnstone he didnt mention it in his interview and harp on about it as many would have.

He was looking for it and the shirt pulling was a bit of a non event for me. Right decision.

Whether it was or wasn't BG, it's about Albion getting another clean sheet.
Focus on the positive

Silly old bat
Seen them given ie. Dunk at Turf Moor last season.
I don't think it was a penalty but wouldn't have been overly-surprised to see it given the current trend of refs penalising for shirt-pulling. Seems that some do and some don't.
Wilbraham acted like a petulant child and was clearly looking for it. Utter carthorse playing three or four divisions above his level.

Just watched it a few times. Stone-waller, Duffy got away with one.

The referee never blew his whistle, Ipso Facto it wasn't a penalty.

BG, if I'm ever stuck in a trench next to you I'll shoot myself.

Duffy was very lucky. On another day in another game things like this can cost us at the end of the season. I hope Hughton reminds him of this.
Yeah we know that. It should have been though. Ref error, Duffy lucky.

The shirt pull was done blind side of ref - probably why he did it. I do hope Hughton takes him aside & has a quiet word. Would have been a silly way to put us under pressure if it'd been given in a game we bossed from the start. Duffy was class again though & we literally won everything in the air with Dunk & Duffs

Do wonder why defenders seem to do it so much. Got away with it yesterday.

Saw a few replays, and while there was shirt-pulling, looked like the fall came from a clash of feet. I really don't think Duffy threw him to the ground by his shirt

nailed on penalty completely missed by the ref......that will be shown many times throughout the week and something that particularly Duffy and Dunk need to iron out of their game.....they won't get away with it all season and these things have a way of evening out......i thought the ref was leaning towards us for most of the game.,,great result for us but Bristol City will feel they got nothing from the ref....and they didn't really.
For sure, but lets be honest, that was a really poor decision.
These days there seems to be an acceptance that shirt pulling goes on, it seems to be when it restricts movement that it gets penalised. Wilbrahams was not restricted at all and just went down.
