'The penalty is an absolute nonsense'

For me there was a far more obvious foul on Rhodes from behind in the 2nd half which warranted a penalty. The one we got is debateable but Iv,e seen softer ones given.

 

Like derby last week ... be nice if it evened out, were due a shed load of decisions from the last few seasons 

[GMOwl72]

Never a penalty, but we can’t be concerned about that having had some equally bad decisions given against us notably against Cardiff and Derby that cost us points.

That massive representation of Bristol City fans in the West got what they deserved 5 fourths of foooook all. City came to spoil and snatch whatever they could ... and they couldn't, and they never deserved to. UTO

[TrickyTrev]

It was a soft penalty but we had an absolute stonewaller turned down at Hull earlier this season so “swings and roundabouts”.

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.

Great that Nuhiu got the foul too as he's usually given nothing. 

There's a reason he's given nothing.

Was never a penalty , but neither was the one given against Moses against Derby . These things even themselves out over the season .

I thought the rugby world cup finished weeks ago 

[robswfc]

Didn't think it was a pen at the time from North stand but having seen the replay its pretty clear it's a foul in the box = penalty

[quinnssweetshop]

So what ?  we won !!!

Makes up for the penalty Derby had awarded against us other week.

Bingo

Must admit from my view in the North it looked outside the box. Add that to the fact it was on Atdhe, who hadn't been in the box all game, and you can see why I was surprised to get it.

That was a clear shove in the back

 

Yes, seems like another one of those cumulative ones.. like the one we suffered vs Derby... yet another soft penalty given because Odubajo had been borderline all day. And last night, at last we were given one of those soft penalties too... we've certainly been on the receiving end of poo penalties against us, so it was nice to finally have some margins on our side.

 

Very nice to look at the league table these days; only WBA, Blackburn and us that got all greens and greys and no losses past 5 games. Deserved Christmas break for the boys to celebrate achieving 3rd spot and then gun on through festive period and see if we can close the gap to the two in front.

 

I'll even forget about EFL for a second and just be happy with where we are and how we perform these days.

[Nero]

Defo pen.

[Striggy]

First thing is it is great to be debating a penalty awarded, not conceded, makes a refreshing change, especially with Derby in such recent memory. I was as surprised as a surprised rat at a surprise Christmas rat party when the pen was given, was not expecting that, whereas I am usually screaming for one if I see anything remotely noteworthy.  From the North it looked like Atty just fell over just outside the box.  However, I have since watched the whole match back (I know but I  had time and was bored) on about 54 mins in the middle of the park Atty chased down one of their players and ran up behind him, their man fell over, foul to BC.  There was much more contact and intent in the penalty incident and so for consistency it was 100% a foul, was it in the box, yes! replays and photos show that it was, so in my book and in hindsight 100% penalty. Well done Ref, Merry Christmas.

Probably wasn't a pen but like others had said we have had a few soft ones given against us recently.
Overall 1-0 win was a fair reflection of the game.

[Paul..]

Those two blatant elbows by their forward that went completely unpunished were "absolute nonsense" as well.

Exactly, Bristol went abit heavy with challenges all game, 2 incidents the ref had a word with them instead of a card, this pic being 1 of them. The pen was the final straw he had to give something.

[NYCOWL]

Much like Odabajo the other week, it’s a challenge that the defender doesn’t need to make - that’s their problem
