The penalty incident. As clear as it comes. Robbed of a goal and a penalty

The defender wins the ball, you can't really see it from that angle.

Anyone who thinks that isn't a penalty is fucking blind, yes the guy gets a toe on th eball but then after that it's a clear trip to stop Bailey getting away to get a shot off.

Indeed so where were VAR?

[PeterWithesShin]

Getting ready for 2nd half, players out.

That should’ve definitely been a penalty. Yes he gets the balls but stops Bailey from running by putting his leg in between Baileys. The annoying thing is that we don’t even know whether it’s checked?

Correct. Some people have it in their heads that if the defender gets the ball first it can't be a penalty which is nonsense.

Away from football, if it’s dark enough in the next hour, the Aurora should be visible from the Midlands.

Cloudy unfortunately.

It’s clear where I am at the moment… keeping an eye to the sky just in case.

That’s not the argument, he stops Bailey from getting the ball after as the touch is so slight he can get the ball as he’s on his feet.

Him winning the ball doesn't really matter because the foul comes after that.

Getting a slight touch on the ball then deliberately bring the player down because they could still get it is a penalty as Blues know only too well.

And we're off, no changes

Way better than I explained it 😂

[Steve67]

I'm really biased and even I think it isn't a penalty.  Villa's goal should have stood though.

[devilla]

Yes hope they're ok.

It’s a bit too light at the moment, but it should be good in the next 30 mins or so. Expected period to view is next hour to 3 hours… best chance I’ve ever seen down here - 25% apparently! And I saw them last year from Leicestershire with a 2% chance!
