I haven't seen any mention of this on here (apols if fixtures), but in the 1st half on Saturday there seemed to be an absolute gold-plated pen for us for a foul on Duffy. The Burnley player tripped over his own feet and landed on Duffy's legs from behind. Completely wiped him out.

Was it a pen or am I making it up? Has anyone seen it replayed?

I haven't seen a replay but do remember this incident. You aren't imagining it but can't have been much of a penalty shout if highlights or CH didn't mention it.

As with the Murray decision, the players were running towards us, in the Family Stand.

I saw it as both players were running away from the goal and distant from the ball, when it all got a bit 'tanglely'.
Despite the protests around me, my first thought was 'how would Duffy react if that was given down the other end'?

Not a penalty.

Even if it was, the one on Murray was soft....................

Agreed. I thought on the day that the Duffy incident was more of a pen than the one we got. But as I say I've not seen it again.

It happened right in front of us. Duffy was running out of the area towards the East stand, and didn't have control of the ball. It was a foul, but the ref must have decided not worthy of a penalty.
Anywhere else on the pitch, it would have been a free kick.

From east side of North Stand I thought Duffy yes and Murray absolutely not

That's exactly where I am - and exactly my thoughts!

Right imfront of us. Neither were pens. The elbow in the ribs was though.
