    I am sorry, but imo, that is a penalty, Areola was clumsy in the extreme, clattered into him and did not get the ball

    Fab could get MOTM here

    Didn't even seem to be much of a check. I don't understand how that can be a penalty
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Oh well

    How was that not a pen
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Not a great effort by Fabianski, it looked saveable.

    Now we maybe should have had a penalty.
  • alderzalderz
    How is their defender turning his back on the ball, grabbing Bowen, taking him to the ground, and it’s their free kick.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Gutted with that.

    If the Comms team know it's a pen, why don't VAR.
    Clear and obvious mistake and foul
    🤬🤬🤬

    Bonkers match.

    Ridiculous to have ended up drawing that
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Gutted to have not won it in those circumstances. A goal up, a man up in added time, then Coufal stupidly off, then a penalty. Gutted.

    Moyes is fuming
  • LukerzLukerz
    Also, we weren’t great, but that’s three games against Championship teams & we haven’t won any.

    We had a chance of solidifying our 6th place and just threw it away.

    Fabianski coming on this is mad

    BBC saying it's because Areola had to leave the pitch after treatment, and once the game restarts there would be no keeper on for the penalty.

    How do we go from 2-1 up with an extra man, with 3 mins to go, to drawing that against bottom of the league.
  • Dodger58Dodger58
    We are still solidly 6th

    Keepers have never had to leave the pitch before, penalty or no penalty.

    We’re unlucky not to get a penalty in the final seconds there.

    The ref got Coufal and Soucek mixed up, I can see Coufal's red card being rescinded.

    Oh, you'd better message the BBC, buffy!
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    That was a really weird ending, two sending offs, a penalty and right at the death, we had a real credible shout for another penalty

    To be fair, I think that’s victory would have been very flattering

    My FF score is taking a hammering as I have areola and coufal

    It's ok, I'd benched Coufal. You can breathe a sigh of relief 😄.

    A shambles of a ref performance in the last few minutes.

    Missing the red in live play.
    Sending Coufal off to start.
    The penalty.
    Missing the penalty at the other end.

    No wonder I hadn’t heard of him before.

    It can't, can it? Two yellow cards.

    For the first yellow, you think? Isn't that a case of mistaken identity that var should address?
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    A mess
  • LukerzLukerz
    And the sooner they bin VAR the better. Brings nothing to our game.

    Imo:

    McBurnie penalty - Correct decision. Yes Areola got hit in the face but McBurnie was elevating his arms to jump while Areola times it badly and misses the ball and hits the man. They seemed to hit each other at a similar time... if McBurnie made contact with Areola first then I'd have said no penalty. Similarly, if Areola made contact first then it's a definite penalty. The fact they made contact with each other at the same time makes it debatable but the fact that McBurnie hadn't moved (apart from jumping vertically), while Areola has came out of his goal into McBurnie, for me it's just a penalty.

    Coufal double yellows - First yellow I can't comment on as I don't know if something was said, and second yellow was a yellow. Imo it's a harsh double yellow but probably just about worthy of getting sent off. At the end of the day, that never changed the result regardless of if he were on/off the field. I do think the referee wanted to send Coufal off; perhaps he said something to him for the first yellow? I'm only speculating but it felt like that.

    Bowen penalty shout at the end - Wrong decision. The defender was going for the ball rather than the man. I don't really know how there could even be an argument that this wasn't a penalty but I'd be interested to hear. You couldn't say he won the ball.
