Worst penalty decision I have EVER seen. Remember Chelsea v Barca a few years ago ? Worse than that. And what made it even more inexcusable was that it wasn't even like anyone was travelling at speed. The ball was being played around on the edge of the box, the "foul" itself was debatable in itself, but for him to then point at the spot when it blatantly happened so far outside the box frankly defied belief.
Lets be clear here - it wasn't even a LINE call...the incident was easily a yard outside the box.
Yes, I know we were losing. And yes, I know we weren't playing great. But a minute earlier we were close to an equaliser after their keeper made a right old hash of that cross and Paynters shot was blocked. Next thing, its 0-2 and we're down to 10.
The ref killed us in that moment, and I suspect it was some ham-fisted attempt at "evening it up" after Harper got away with bringing Lambert down in the box a few minutes earlier. Lets just say that the ref needs "resting" for a while after his decisions this afternoon - he will be utterly mortified when he see's that first penalty call he gave today.

I was sat in the away end right in line with the edge of the area. It was about a foot outside. However the shout 10 mins later when Lambert I think went down (not given), looked like a clear push to me. Game probably lost anyway - but going down to 10 men finished the game - not the pen.
Worse then pen against Bournemouth involving Elphick ?

It was about 4 yards outside the area. Everyone could see it. Can't blame Tanno for losing it. Worst penalty decision i have ever seen.
Much worse.

Damn straight. I know its blue and white tinted specs here, but I serioulsy do not understand a decision. How. I mean HOW. It was hardly a a FOUL, and Dunk got booked, and they got a pen AND Tanno got sent off. Seriously WTF. f***ing What!!

1 foot outside. Can Blame Tanno for losing it - he's a liability. His reaction ended any chance we had of a comeback. He should apologise to the fans.

Going by the interview with Gus the lino flagged for a foul but not a penalty, shocking to get overruled by a ref who wouldn't have been in as good a position.

HELL yes.
The Bournemouth one was an utter shocker, but at least the ball was in the air, which made it a little more ambiguous.
Today the ball was on the deck. It was outside the box, as was the opposition player. Aside from the highly debatable question of whether it was even a foul in the first place, it happened easily about a yard outside the f***ing box.
I cannot recall seeing a worse penalty decision in all my years. Seriously, I'm not exagerrating, and if you doubt it then check out the FLS tonight.
It happened to us at Sheffield Utd last season if it's any consolation. It wasn't even a foul and was well outside of the box. The ref gave a penalty and sent Owen Garvan off for dissent. He then awarded them another penalty in injury time just moments after failing to spot their equaliser was 3 yards offside.
I watched your game today and it wasn't as bad as Sheff Utd vs Crystal Palace last season, a bit of perspective for you.

This.
I was obviously in the home end and the second that clumsy challenge went in i thought definite pen so i guess it must have been in the box. That said, a lot of people said it was outside (including our fans) so i might be wrong.
However not long after there was a perfect ball swung accross for Lambert who was blatantly pushed off it as he was about to score. Would have been given had it not been for the previous pen.
The second was debatable as well. He clipped his own heels.
