Lincoln v Argyle, It wasn’t a penalty
- Thread starter plymouthboyuk
- Start date
As has been mentioned elsewhere, it is possible that the ref, having denied a pen for Lincoln a few minutes before, made up for what he considered was a more positive appeal then, by giving this uber soft penalty.

Of course it wasn't a penalty. You'd have to be an idiot not to see the ref was totally conned by a dive.
Unless you think penalties are justly awarded if the defending team don't make a fuss - which is what someone on the match thread kept trying to argue. Maybe he'll re-think his half-baked theory in light of this news, though I won't hold my breath.
We'll never know how many points this cost us. We didn't play well in the second-half but that decision turned the game against us. We could have gone up the other end after that incident and gone 1-0 up. Bloody ref.

The ref didn't even seem to be close enough to make a call. The lino had an unobstructed view but as is often the case with linos, he didn't have the guts to challenge the decision.
Also there's no telling what would have happened in the game should the penalty not have been given so I don't buy all of this "we would have lost anyway" talk, we could have gone on to win 5 nil for all anyone knows, it was a big moment.

Does it matter? Games gone now
We had 3 players out with COViD and had to make changes late on and hot a penalty against us that shouldnt have been given ! We could still have lost 1-0
We got promoted on a calculation we cant expect to get the rub of the green everytime

Footnote to this,
Of course it was definitely not a penalty, and there was to far away, to make a sensible decision.
But I can remember, a couple of penalties over the last couple of years , especially at the Devonport End, we were slightly fortunate to gat a penalty decision.

Bristol Rovers (H) was the best one. Songo'o barely touched, drops to the ground. Ref gives a pen. Carey blasts it in. Rovers fans try to riot. Bliss.
1. The referee shouldn’t have awarded a penalty for that incident.
2. I think that, if we are honest, he should have awarded a penalty for the incident a couple of minutes earlier.
3. He shouldn’t have redressed the balance which is obviously what he did.
4. It WAS a penalty because the referee gave it and they scored from it.
5. Time to move on.

Hello Oldage, do you remember when RL arrived he said that his playing style might well lead to conceding a fair few goals, but that the objective was to score more than we concede? For me that is exactly what we’re seeing, so I don’t agree that our defence “isn’t that good” as you put it.
Well I wouldn't have given it BUT it was a definite penalty. It comes down to one line in the Laws of the Game.
"In the opinion of the referee.... "
They have yet to change it to the opinion of Mike Jones, Ryan Lowe, The Green Army or indeed Lundan Cabbie. Until then we we must take decisions on the chin.

Given the choice between the odd dodgy decision and VAR I'll just take that one and hopefully we'll get one soon to even it out.
