Watched it a load more times

and it does go to show how hard it is to be a ref

He does actually take the ball but the trip starts beforehand

It’s understandable at that pace and that’s obviously why Blades fans were saying he won the ball

  - Maybe started an inch outside (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 09:48:19
    - If contact starts outside it’s not a penalty (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 09:56:17
      - If it continues inside it is? (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 10:01:28
        
        Nope (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 10:03:02
        
        Looked like it started by holding outside and then progressed (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 12, 11:36:01
        
        Yes there was some holding exclusively outside (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 11:46:07
        
        The real issue is the ref made a ball gesture (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 12:26:12
        
        Watched it a load more times (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 12:36:07
        
        I still can't see that he touched the ball at all tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 12:40:58
        
        Watched on a bigger screen and can see it now (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 12:41:46
        
        However, all he did was nudge it in the direction EMS was going (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 12:42:59
        
        And the actual trip is inside, so it's a pen (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 12, 12:44:01
        
        He sort of wraps his foot around it after player contact (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 12:57:13
        
        The more and more I watch it (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 12, 12:40:19
