'The penalty is an absolute nonsense'

[Lord Snooty]

 

Keith Andrews: "The defining moment is very controversial. I don't see it as a clear penalty. Nuhiu's clever as he puts on the brakes ever so slightly and Tommy Rowe shouldn't get as tight as it's risky.

 

 

Lee Johnson: "The penalty is an absolute nonsense. The referee has been sucked in. The linesman didn't give it and it's questionable whether it's even in the box. Everyone knows it is a poor decision.

I would love to know what Keith Andrews has done to become the "top" EFL pundit on Sky. 

 

I mean, he's ok, but a bit like Andy sodding Hinchcliffe he seems to be everywhere. 

[Pastor Kidneys]

It's very soft I agree but we had one a couple of weeks ago when Odubajo got hauled to the ground by the striker and a penalty against him .. It happens Lee!!

[Castleford Owl]

Phook em. We’re massively due some good fortune

[latemodelchild]

Oh god that makes it even better. 

[McRightSide]

Would have been raging if it was given against us.

 

But it wasn’t.

 

Stonewall penalty.

[Andrew_Owl]

To be honest I don't think it was a penalty.

How many times has Sterling bought one in similar fashion

[TheEnchanter]

That streaky tubby lump Lee Johnson sounds just like his daddy. Wonder if he'll be wearing a gilet or a sweater to the next game. 

[Dan™]

Lee claimed earlier in his interview that the referee apologised to him for getting it wrong, though I'm not sure if I believe him since he later claimed that anything said in the referees room should stay in there.

The Ref had been giving fouls like that..all afternoon all over the pitch...Fouls are given for that EVERY afternoon ALL over the pitch.

The player gave the ref a decision to make when he didn't have to....Nuhiu was going nowhere ..It was stupid

Lego headcunt!!

It was soft - but probably still a penalty.

 

I'd like to think for Bristol's sake though that this is merely Johnson's media take on it, but that behind closed-doors he's having a word in Rowe's ear about giving the ref a decision to make.

 

I remember after Odubajo's penalty a couple of weeks ago - ‘soft but you shouldn't give the ref the opportunity’ - would be a paraphrase of how Monk summed it up after that game.

Plastic man, you couldn’t grab his cheeks 

[Jim]

He seems to have become a right whinging tw@t since Bristol City became play-off contenders? 

[yeadonowl]

The one on Rhodes was more of a pen 

 

That was a clear shove in the back

[MotherGoose]

Lee Johnson moaning about refereeing? Shocked. Shocked I tell you. 

[Ever the pessimist]

Was soft... but Johnson questioning whether it was in the box is ridiculous!

If I were Bristol City's owner I'd be seriously thinking to make a managerial change.

 

They've invested heavily, and have done for a few years and they don't appear much better as a team than they were two seasons ago.

 

To many poor runs of results too, which yeah when you balance it with a number of significant great runs of results it looks passable on the league table, but the reality is that they ought to be doing much better.

 

Only mitigating defence, of course, is that they've had bad luck with injuries to forwards.
