Should we have been given a Penalty?

[Boab 73]

Wilson hand ball in the second half?

My mate said that if he was a big Rangers fan then he would have been really claiming it in a big way as I wasn't convinced.

[Chambo 197]

Stone waller.

Hand way up in the air, it has to be a pen! However Miller should have buried the chance directly after!

[G.Linton 107]

was it wilson i thought it was o'dea? and defo pen anyways his arm came out from his body!

[alfajerk 23]

clear penalty!

[FlippinEck 3,730]

I think the ref played some kind of advantage tbh

[Ace 3,556]

It was a penalty, his hand was away from his body and directly impeded the path of the ball.

Doesn't matter that Miller should have buried the resultant chance ... it was definately a penalty.

[sandymcm 25]

without a doubt! a clear penalty.

I agree. I was only pointing out that if he buried the chance we wouldn't be talking about it.

Definite penalty though!

[GeneralCartmanLee 313]

A clear penalty.....

[Poetry_In_Blue 1,043]

It should have been a penalty, the ref technically played advantage, and if Miller had scored the goal then we would have been screaming if it was brought back for a penalty, whistle being blown and all that.

On the other hand though, when there has been an incident in other parts of the park sometimes a ref will see if there is an advantage to be played first, if not, he will then blow and call it back for the free kick, again it could be argued that technically because Miller didn't score the goal there was no advantage.

[Jonnyboyrfc 296]

Miler should have buried the follow-up

But was it a penalty? one of the clearest ones i have seen this season.

Regardless of "he couldn't get out the way" or any of that fucking pish, his hand was out from his body and he influenced the flight/direction of the ball in the box = penalty.

Remember Barca's disallowed goal at the end of the game with Inter? Hand ball given against Toure (?) before Bojan finished it off. That was given as a free kick and it was less of a hand ball than this was.

That was a clear penalty by todays refereeing standards.It was a more obvious penalty than the one Lyon got against Bordeaux in the CL. quarter final 1st leg.

Now if the Ref played the advantage rule as some suggest he did ( which is the correct decision ) and Miller had scored, then the goal would have stood.When Miller hit the post, then the correct decision would have been to award the penalty kick.

The problem in football is that there is no consistency at all these days with Referees and it's always explained as..."In the Referees opinion" which gets them out of jail when people get puzzled and angry.

[Muz333 361]

It was a penalty without a shadow of a doubt.

[tufts1690 75]

the referee was piss poor and shit himself on several occasions lastnight. not like it matters though.

[bluenose andy 1]

Definite penalty

[rangers4eva 12]

Thought it was a penalty, don't think the ref played advantage though.

[Mr Soprano 13,964]

Just imagine it was the other way around and the Scum had been denied it

[Muz333 361]

Picture

Hand out from his body and high up clearing blocking the ball. The only explanation is the ref bottled it.

[rangers4eva 12]

Anyone smell something vile

[Dietspam 733]

The way i see it the player jumped to block the cross. That's fine. However, his hands were not only out, but moved up after the ball was kicked. So this was 100% hand to ball. I'm not sure on the Refs position or where the linesman was.

[Davey_RFC 122]

You can play advantage on a penalty?

Stone waller. How I can see it on a shitey projector screen, in a packed pub and after a few pints but the referee can't from 10 yards away is a mystery!

[tufts1690 75]

anyone else smell shite?

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

Yes, ref shat out it.

[NeilRFC 10]

I have seen penalties given for less...O'Dea knew what he was doing.

Technically yes, because Miller still had a chance to score a goal, so you could say he was playing advantage, but as he didn't score and therefore no advantage he should have then awarded the penalty.
