Remember when we complained to the EFL about the ref at Luton?

Since then we've got the pen last night which was at the very least arguable, whilst we've also got the rub of the green with the 2 pen shouts that Sheff Wed had.

I posted at the time that I thought that the complaint was straight out of the Alex Ferguson playbook (i.e. gentle pressure applied to the referees), I wonder whether there is any link or whether it is pure coincidence?

  - Yes, but only if he touched him, which isn't clear (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 17, 09:09:22
    - Which I think he did btw (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 17, 09:12:06
      - Probably a faint touch but it can still be a foul if a player has to take evasive action (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 17, 09:22:46
        
        Yes - I think it was a penalty (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 17, 09:29:13

        no need for the triple salchow though, embarrassing from aarons at best (NCFC) - Tombs, Dec 17, 11:33:03
        
        that is true (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Dec 17, 11:34:13
- Never a penalty. If it was given against us, our fans would be complaining about it (NCFC) - earlydoors, Dec 17, 08:29:21
- If you slide in like that you have no chance it was a penalty (NCFC) - pinkney, Dec 17, 08:18:14

    - Snigger! (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 17, 09:15:30
- I still think his studs rake Max's foot (n/m) (NCFC) - stanleh, Dec 17, 08:11:14
  - If your coming in at pace and someone fly's in then it's a foul (NCFC) - stanleh, Dec 17, 08:21:59
    - Max dived but that's a separate question to whether he was fouled (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 17, 09:10:40
  - Gently brush, agree ... so obviously Max clutches his shin ... 🤣 (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Dec 17, 08:12:28
