It was an odd situation because there was no intention of foul play on Thorne's part at all and I was convinced it was a wrong decision at the time - I'd not seen a similar decision before, but I've seen quite a few since. Given our history over the past fifty years or so, we'd be up in arms if we'd gone out because we weren't given a penalty after an incident like the one on Sunday.
Eh?
You're saying it was a pen based on an incident in one game TWENTY YEARS AGO!
Apart from this being totally illogical, how many rule changes have there been in the interim.

I remember a similar incident in the Cup Final when Fred Keenor kicked Tunstall in exactly the same way and no pen was given. This proves the Joe Allen incident def wasn't a pen. And VAR didn't over-rule the ref then either.
