That “pen” today

[Jedi boro]

Another ref decision going against us and giving the opposition an undeserved life line.

The refs really are shocking in this league aren’t they.

 

[uncle_rico]

He’d had a decent game until then too

Yes

 

[Nottyboy]

It was very soft. You rarely see anything that minimal given. If that's given as a penalty then there should be about 10 penalties every game.

 

[TeaCider]

Absolutely nothing in it, not a penalty for me, but I bet people will hold it against Lenihan anyway.

Another good game from him, he's looking like a solid signing.

 

[Rauko]

Dunno why it was given .. people are saying handball by Lenihan .. whereas on the way home I hear Maddo say it was a pull by Howson .. so ..

 

[Mfc79]

He missed the clear hand ball in the first half too

Especially away from home with zero away support.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

I think the fact that none of us actually know who gave the pen away speaks volumes for the decision.

 

[Chappy112]

Wilder said it was for handball and pretty much admitted it hit Lenihan's hand but that he knew absolute nothing about it. The replays aren't great but I still can't figured out when it hit his hand

 

[Zoophonic]

VAR may have overruled it

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

He made quite a few dodgy decisions against us pre-penalty I thought and judging by Wilder’s reactions and body language towards the 4th official, he thought so too.

 

[Alzi]

Imagine if that cost us the win. Very odd decision.

 

[starplayer]

He booked Lenihan so I assumed it was for handball. I sit South west corner and thought it hit lenihans shoulder. Tees apparently said it was Howsons pull. Who knows. We have been on the wrong side of a lot of poor decisions.

Madley was clearly barking up the wrong tree. He was dogged by poor decisions for most of the second half.

We nearly lost the lead because of it and things became a bit hot under the collar as a result. Could have be a ruff result to bear and I'd have been barking mad.

 

[Quicksilvera]

If you watch it on the football league highlights it is a penalty

 

[johnsmithsno2]

Didn't see many complaints from Boro players.

 

[BoroMart]

It was a penalty but Lenihan has been getting better every game, in fact he's been really good the last three games

 

[alanmoodysdog]

handball ... Lenihan booked for it
