Hope ist Brighton and Burnley myself, I'm not from the area but there is something really unlikeable about Middlesbrough/ Karanka.

 

Also that's never a pen for Man City.

Madness that you could get 91 points and still finish 3rd in Championship.

The season we got promoted, Blackpool were 32 points worse off than us, and still went up.

It's customary for there to be actual contact prior to the attacker shamelessly chucking himself on the floor. There was no contact, therefore not a pen.

That must be the only pen you've ever seen then.

Just watched it again, there is contact on the chest, but never enough to make you go down like you've been shot from behind from a cannonball.

 

Still not a pen.

It just seemed like normal jostling in the box to me :undecided:

You've got be on the wind up

Me and everyone else posting at the minute, bar you?

 

Not all contact is a foul, man. The game would be impossible to play if it was a free kick every time someone touched someone.

It's only you and nufc54 that's saying it wasn't. No pundit or journalist has said it wasn't a penalty. 

 

Not all contact is a penalty but a clothesline most certainly is

I think that's the crux of it. It looked like it was on the chest to me. If it's on the neck or face, it's a pen. Also, the exaggerated dive probably swayed the ref towards no foul.

Why should it make a difference where his arm hits the player if you're running towards the ball which you're clearly going to get and a defender purposefully puts his arm out and stops you from getting it?

 

Anyway https://twitter.com/search?q=shawcross%20penalty&src=typd

 

It didn't look like excessive force. I think under the letter of the law, the ref could technically give it, but it's a bit like when you see pens given for jostling off the ball during corners.

 

The game would be ashes if pens were dished out that easily.

Why do you prefer Boro rather than Burnley?

 

Both options are "boring" additions to the PL, in my opinion. Boro has been away the longest, hence they're more interesting to have around.
