This, 100%.

Mason would have been feet up on desk tucking into his sandwiches, waiting for something to trigger him into action. Newcastle gave that trigger by appealing like crazy. For both of ours, we did nothing to create the same trigger.

I know we weren’t great but those two penalty shouts still winding me up (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 08:03:04
- These pitchside monitors put huge pressure on refs to give home teams the benefit (NCFC) - Munich93, Dec 1, 08:20:19
  - Once they are told to go there and shown the slowest possible, cherry picked image the (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 08:21:36

- The first one looked a pen to me (NCFC) - 51eve, Dec 1, 08:08:10
  - They said they were reviewing it which makes it even more frustrating (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 08:20:24
  - The second one I didn’t think was a pen (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 1, 08:12:49
    - I guess arm over head is always clear & obvious error (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 1, 08:30:03
      - Arm over head is considered an unnatural way to jump. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Dec 1, 09:35:40
      - genuine question - can i ask why you think its not a pen when a defender dives in front (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 09:03:13
        
        Was that the 2nd one? (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 1, 09:13:26
        
        Yes - see the link below posted by Declan (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 09:14:20
        
        That little video clip is fairly damning for me (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Dec 1, 09:21:08
        
        Isn’t it Idah’s contact that pushes his arm into the ball? (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 1, 09:35:03
        
        I wouldn’t. Both were blatant handballs. Idah doesn’t barge him he throws himself in front (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 10:03:11
        
        They will say its because his arms are not in an unnatural position given his movement (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 09:25:43
    - Second one possibly more of a pen. Don’t know how to post a link to it though (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 08:19:43
      - Link here... (NCFC) - Declan, Dec 1, 08:21:37

        Well that's a nailed on pen. He's made a movement with his arm (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 1, 08:34:28
        
        Didn't even get a corner out of it, ref gave a goal kick! (n/m) (NCFC) - Declan, Dec 1, 08:35:49
        
        Cheers. Have you got the first as well? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 08:22:22
        
        First one here...'there is a VAR check'...maybe the monitor was broken?! (NCFC) - Declan, Dec 1, 08:31:37
        
        What that means is Mason told him he didn't need to look at it again. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 1, 09:20:18
        
        That's even worse than I remember. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Dec 1, 08:43:18
