[Albion] Why didn't we get the penalty?

[Justice]

Championship ref and it showed useless all game nailed on Pen red for Krul.

 

[Questions]

Get honest on the penalty ffs you lot. Maupay was going down quicker than Zaha

 

[Questions]

I think you've answered your own question when you mention him trying to stay on his feet. Bizarrely his honesty actually costs us the decision. If he goes down immediately I think it gets given.

He knows it’s getting away from him………..even if he was touched it did not contribute to the decision. A touch Does Not means it has to be a penalty

 

[oldboyroy]

Watching the game via stream I didn't think it was a pen as this season more contact is allowed so to speak. Seeing the replays think Maupay was on his way down anyway and perhaps was looking for the pen which made refs mind up

Only he didn't go down quickly...

 

[Icy Gull]

Any chance of the video of the incident?

Is that why after he got clipped he stayed up but stumbled to the ground? yeah, totally going down quick.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I think Maupay knew he had pushed the ball a bit to far to easily tuck it in, so decided to go over after feeling a bit of contact.
He also blazed over from close range near the end after good work from March.

Not his best day.

At least we’re not completely reliant on him and have lots of options if he gets injured, tired, or loses from.

Oh.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Maupay went down too late imo. Looked like he went down because the ball was going out of play.

 

[brighton_tom]

Krul catches him, and if he goes to ground directly after that then a penalty gets given. But instead Maupay tries to keep his balance and goes after the ball, eventually falling to ground a step later. Either thats because he tried to keep his balance but just couldnt manage it and falls, so its a penalty as the Krul touch was essentially enough to take him down, or it could look like Maupay had the opportunity to stay on his feet after the Krul touch but chose to go to ground when realising the ball had gone. Its that small level of doubt that means they've not given it.

From 0:42.



I really want it to be an injustice, but that’s not a pen imho. Maupay was virtually on the ground already, the slightest of touches from Krul after that.

If we lost a match because of a pen decision against us such as that, I’d be annoyed.

I think we’ve all been brain washed by a couple of years or more of every conceivable pen being awarded, a cheats charter.

What the **** are you on about? he gets clipped, then stumbles and falls over. how the absolute **** is he virtually on the ground already?

I think it was a pen, just not enough for VAR to overturn in this “less-precise VAR” world this season. It wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake like a different player number or two footed leg-breaker.

Still doesn’t mean I wasn’t screaming for it. Bloody bias Referee.

Exactly - it's very much a case of "umpire's call" now. If the ref had given it, it would have stood. He didn't, so that decision applied, unfortunately for us.

Last season, that would have been over-turned, allowing Maupay the opportunity to blaze over from the spot!

There's only one way to decide this - https://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?390805-Penalty-or-not-YOU-decide!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Definite pen but one of those where the way Maupay went down didn’t help him. It looked a dive so I can understand why the ref didn’t give on first look without a replay. And this season VAR won’t overturn that.

If the ref had given it VAR wouldn’t have overturned it either.

 

[DJ NOBO]

There was contact.
It was a penalty.
It actually annoys me that this thread has turned into a debate.
It was a penalty.

 

[portslade seagull]

That very much looked like a penalty to me

[Icy Gull]

****ing Brighton Leftie Liberals suggesting it wasn’t a pen even though there was contact that made sure Maupay went down. I can’t see fans of any other club in the country even considering it as no penalty

GP is settling into Brighton very well!

Brighton had a penalty appeal denied in the first half when Neal Maupay claimed contact from goalkeeper Tim Krul. "If the referee doesn't give a penalty, it's a tough one for VAR to overrule," Potter added.

 

[Seagull58]

The replay looked like pretty much zero contact.

Not the replay I saw, and I saw it several times from different angles. He caught him on the ankle, studs up, knocked him off balance and he went down 100% a penalty.
