Deadbat says penalty. He reminds me of the ref (even though he was a father of a player from a club you played for in the mid 2000s) that always gives decisions to the opponents.Just do not understand how this was given. Ref seemed like he whistle in his mouth before Stevens even made the challenge. Player who went down didn't shout for a pen.
And the ref was the same prick who didn't give the Scougall Sumo throw penalty.

Stevens got to the ball first and at the same time Dawson kicked at Stevens foot causing the ball to go the other wayWatch again on the replays and the way Stevens goes to kick it, the ball goes the other way from Dawson getting to it first.

Look again!
Lingard was the last man but he had lost control of the low cross so that might be why the ref thought Lingard had missed an easy chance before being clattered by Basham? I did fear a red card too.In the grand scheme of things it does not matter. We gave them another one and we had the biggest decision go for us when Basham should have been sent off for a cynical and crude foul.
Possibly but it was cynical and no way was he going for the ball. Whatever arguments about the first pen...I think I would have been fuming if I was a West Ham fan. If that happens anywhere in the middle of the park it's a red for a high, wild and dangerous tackle. The fact he was the last man and clearly intended to do it...it was perplexing he was not sent off.Lingard was the last man but he had lost control of the low cross so that might be why the ref thought Lingard had missed an easy chance before being clattered by Basham?

Watch it again.. Its a definite pen as he gets man first but he gets a slight touch on the ball

On the penalty in question they were happy it was a foul, somehow, they then went back to see if there was an offside, which incidentally was the wrong frame in which the offside was being checked, it’s an utter farce.Does anybody know the order in which VAR checks the penalties?
Did they check and confirm it was a penalty before going back to see if anybody was offside, or do they check the build up first?
Old habits die hard for referee Hooper...

The ref on the pitch (and the VAR official?) and the commentary team ref said that Basham HAD gone for the ball, therefore a yellow was the correct decisionLingard was the last man but he had lost control of the low cross so that might be why the ref thought Lingard had missed an easy chance before being clattered by Basham? I did fear a red card too.
yes, that is the exact point of the topic. we only lost that game because of the penalty decision.Fuck me. Are we splitting hairs over this?
We got beaten. Penalty or not, red card or not. We didn't play good enough to beat West Ham, because our team is full of misfits, has-beens, poor signings, sicknotes and is played in a system which is clearly (count 'em ... nineteen this season) easy to beat by however 'narrow margin' we care to whine about.
Carping about whether Enda got his clumsy feet on the ball or if Bash's last ditch clatter made up for Norwood's characteristic fuck up is neither here nor there.
