Match Reaction v Spuds (home)

Lots of scrutiny about that. I thought it was fair enough.
Yes, the ball had gone but is that relevant?
The ball was in play, Laca might well have gone after it but couldn’t because he was fouled.
Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a free kick, so why not a pel?

Its an odd one as there is a weird unwritten rule that in the penalty box these don't often get given, but as you say anywhere else on the pitch and its 100% a foul.

I thought we got a bit of luck as was expecting VAR to overturn it, but we've been due something like that to go our way. We fully deserved the win, dominated for 80 minutes. Jenus can cry all he wants.
