The goalie literally wiped Gordon out , not sure why it’s being debated .

Are we turning into RAWK?   soft pen and if it was given against I'd be saying soft pen 

[SUPERTOON]

It’s irrelevant if it’s a pen or not tbh, because Wilson’s goal should never have been disallowed beforehand.

The keeper sees Gordon coming sprints six yards and then lunges into that contact. Whether Gordon hoped for the keeper to be daft enough to do that or not, it's still a foul.

While I think it was a pen, it's a 50/50 decision, and I don't think the ref gives it if he hadn't made the mistake on the disallowed goal.

 

Either way, it's smart play from Gordon.

I thought it was a nailed on penalty and fair play to Gordon in his determination that won it.

A soft pen is still a pen.

There's a fucking surprise.

I’m one of the few people on here that says ‘fair’ if someone else has a reasoned argument that counters my own.

True, but imagine how exciting it would be! Also the guy fouled has to do the ice hockey style penalty.

No. You're one of the few people who quotes yourself. And you even somehow tinge humility with hubris here.

It was a foul in the box. It's a pen, it's always been a pen.

 

Brentford were dirty cunts and got what they deserved.

Some common sense!

When a goalkeeper commits like that he has to get the ball. I don’t care where it is in the box, plenty of pens are given for fouls in the box that wouldn’t necessarily have led to a goal. See all the ones given for tussling, or handballs. I don’t see why we’re debating this to be honest.

If the keeper clears for a throw-in and Gordon runs into him with the keeper going down like that, 9 times out of 10 it's pulled back for a free-kick.

Keeper didn’t fall for it he had already, foolishly, overcommitted. If he doesn’t lunge, Gordon may, or may not, have kept it in/created something.

Smart play by Gordon as far as I am concerned.  I don't like it but this is modern football.  If we don't do it but the opponents do then we are leaving points on the table.  Up to the governing bodies to decide how they want the game to be played, not the ref, Eddie, Gordon or us as fans.  Have to extract everything you can.

100%.  It is the 'Gordon wasn't going anywhere' part that is really head-scratching.  People seem to be getting confused between a penalty and a goalscoring opportunity (which can result in a red card).  Gordon was clearly fouled in the area = a penalty.

Gordon has no intention of getting the ball. He’s trying to get a pen. 
 

Even Shearer admitted it was super soft.  I’ll take it. But that’s one that’s gone in our favour. 

Shearer is very much in the 'I know sod all about the laws of the game, so I'll describe my opinions as common sense' camp of British PFM punditry.

[Hhtoon]

He doesn't change the direction of his run, just turns his body which looks worse but would have been wiped out regardless. He could easily have avoided it of course but shouldn't.

 

Keeper unlucky as the defender put him under pressure with the back pass...

Couldn't agree more.  I was seething at Alan Shearer on Match of the Day.

Gordon is very quickly becoming a favourite of mine. He just needs to stop with the reckless challenges so often. He'll get himself sent off soon if he's not careful. Been lucky on more than one occasion this season already.

[The Prophet]

It's clumsy for from the keeper. He does try to pull out but Gordon shifts his body to ensure contact is made. It's not s penalty for me, but Wilson's goal should have stood.
