A Championship referee, may have given a pelanty.
Two great stops again last night though.![]()
With the standard of refereeing these days nothing would surprise me. Thought he was kind to us last night, generally speaking.
My immediate thought was a pelanty.
Could have easily been given IMO.
Thought it was great tackle myself. He gets off his line very quickly, I like that about him. Id like to see some of Etheridges critics hold their hands up as hes been fantastic and getting better as the season goes on.
I also though the ref was decent last night. I did worry he would send someone off, Bennett in particular after his early booking, but in the main let it go. Perhaps a bit too much on times as both sides were getting stuck in, but he let it flow.
Lets not forget they could / should have had a pen for Bambas fould on the edge of the box which they didnt even give a free kick for!
Never a pelanty. It was a clean tackle with feet on the ground and no studs showing. He clearly got the ball and then the Sheff Utd player went over his legs afterwards. I will admit that watching on tv at first glance from a distance, I was concerned but when they showed the close up and slow mo it was obvious that the ref got it spot on and the studio analysts agreed it was a 'great tackle'.
