Split second decision innit

from the ref's view at full speed it's a definite pen.

And then in slo mo it looks like he touched the player first, so it's a foul. Footballers in the studio don't know the rules even though Graham Poll has just explained them.

According to the footballers, if you touch the ball (even if you play the man first) it's not a foul. This would explain the pained look of innocence on footballers' faces when they give away a freekick - it's because they simply don't know the rules.
