So were our players claiming it was a penalty in order to avoid the red cardIf the ref believed Foderingham was going for the ball and the foul was in the penalty area, it would have been yellow. If he thought Foderingham was doing a deliberate foul (ie. not going for the ball) in the penalty area, then it would have been red. As it was outside the penalty area, it was red either way and Foderingham's intentions weren't relevant.
Interestingly, when he signalled for the penalty, the ref first put his hand to the left hand pocket (where he kept his red card) and took it away without pulling a card out, then he put his hand to his right hand pocket (where he kept his yellow card) and took it away without pulling a card out, and by then he was being spoken to by players of both sides (saying different things, presumably) and then went to talk to the linesman.
My guess would be that it would have been a yellow card if it had been a penalty.
At Oxford in 1996, Mark Patterson handled a goal bound shot on or just behind the line. This was right in front of the United fans and you could distinctly hear him saying to the ref "it was in!!" To avoid being sent off. The ref agreed, so it was only a yellow and Oxford were 2-0 up (we lost 4-1 in the end)So were our players claiming it was a penalty in order to avoid the red cardIt seemed like they were pleading for it to be outside the box

You’re not wrong about Burnley being put on a bit of a pedestal - but a bit of a stretch to take it out on poor WesMaybe I’m the only one but I’m actually annoyed with Wes right now when you glance at the league table.
If he hadn’t done such a stupid thing and not only given a goal away but also resigned us to playing with a man less for 75 minutes plus, we were well in that game and could have won. We were the ones showing attacking intent.
Not just that though, despite October being dreadful with 13 injuries which saw us take 3 points from 18 whilst Burnley took 12, we could have been within 1 point.
For all the massive plaudits that have been lavished on Kompany and co all season, the guy who didn’t make the top 3 managers list even could have been one fixture swing away from winning the title.
It just annoys me somewhat that Burnley have been given this mantra as being miles better than everyone else.
Have they fuck.
It took a debilitating injury crisis to usurp our place at the top and even then, without a moment of total moronity from Wes, gifting them 3 points we’d still be potential Champions.
Fine margins and all that bollocks but what repercussions of such a basic, unenforced error of judgment.
"have you Had an interaction with Wes in the last 5 years??? If so call our no win no fee lawyers"You’re not wrong about Burnley being put on a bit of a pedestal - but a bit of a stretch to take it out on poor Wes![]()
There's never been a time in history when the second place team couldn't look at all the things that have gone right and wrong, and say that if the things that went wrong for us had gone right, and the things that went right for them had gone wrong, we could have won the league. You're assuming that Burnley's recent bad run is nothing to do with relaxing because it was (virtually) all settled?Maybe I’m the only one but I’m actually annoyed with Wes right now when you glance at the league table.

Fair play to Burnley - the difference for you lot was that you didn't have anything go badly wrong all season. Everyone else had at least one blip.There's never been a time in history when the second place team couldn't look at all the things that have gone right and wrong, and say that if the things that went wrong for us had gone right, and the things that went right for them had gone wrong, we could have won the league.

Yes, you assume all else being equal.There's never been a time in history when the second place team couldn't look at all the things that have gone right and wrong, and say that if the things that went wrong for us had gone right, and the things that went right for them had gone wrong, we could have won the league.
