Just wondering if he’s been getting lessons from JCH as he is a master at getting something out of nothing on refs decisions. Watch him closely and you will see it. Quite an art .....if a somewhat dubious one at that.

Penalty was dubious, but a great team performance today, Upson was superb. Made a long journey very worth while. On to Tuesday UTG

dear oh dear that was a foul by Nichols. Has he been watching Harry Kane lately ? Really? Not saying it was a penalty, but Nichols cuts inside on his right to shoot and there is contact between two players. Either a penalty or just a collision in play

I’m not sure that’s a pen. Looked a blatant pen to me. I'd have been livid had it not been given.

Just watched again and it looks even more of a pen. Defender just charges in. Considering nobody on here seemed that bothered with the dive that earned Stanley a point last week, that was about as blantent as it gets.

Clever play but not a pen in my opinion. TN forced the contact.

Look at the ball. TN cut across the defender’s path while the ball rolled away.

If there's one thing we didn't do well under DC it was the streetwise aka dark arts thing that most teams excel at against us and as league 1 refs in general are oblivious to it gives then a big advantage. If JCH, TN et al are practicing that then well done GC as, sadly, you get no credit for being honest or genuine. If you can't beat them join them and the penalty today was not too dissimilar to the one last week. This could be the difference between bottom third and top half of the table.

I’m not sure that’s a pen. Not me But I’ll take it. Looks like a naughty naughty Tom Nichols to me He lacks turn of speed when he squirms past defenders and nearly always goes to ground. That shoulder charge could have gone either way but I've seen worse than that not given.

I thought both our hand ball and the TN one were pens. There was definitely enough contact for it to be given. Watch the non pixelated version on YT.
TN backed in to the defender and got a push back. Anywhere else on the pitch and you'd win a free kick for that.

I personally could not give a monkeys how the pen was awarded. It’s about time we were on the end of a fortunate decision of that importance, we have had it done to us enough times. As mentioned, being ‘street wise’ gives you the edge in this division. Not a ‘bunch of honest lads who play the game like angels’.

Last week was 50/50 for me, this definitely was not a pen.

Personally- I dont think its controversial in the slightest.
Its fortunate because it's actually a poor touch from Nicholls that leads him to try and "protect" the ball. But an opponent clearly runs right into the back of him without any attempt to win the ball. Consequently Nicholls is impeded.
Watch the challenge from defenders perspective. It becomes much easier to call it a pen. The increase in diving has led us to become sceptical about any attacker going down in the box. We very rarely look at challenges as "were they legal" - apposed to "did they have to go down"
Simply clumsy defending- pen.

However you slice and dice it, it shouldn't have been a pen. Clever from Nichols. Nichols puts his body into the defender and buys the pen. It shouldn't have been a pen, but I'll take it.
