Sparkle Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We do seem to not get hardly any penalty decisions this season do people think that is true? i remember only one away at hull - is it because we don’t take players on in the box? Or just referees don’t like us this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Refs and sat navs... Don't totally rely on either to get you where you want to go! They both make mistakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Or perhaps we think that every time one of our players goes down in the box it must be a penalty when an independent, non-biased referee who knows the rules doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we do and do get fouled, we still don't get the penalties... think there were two in the Swansea game (one stonewall, the other would have been a soft one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 With the country going to hell in a hand basket, I find myself unable to care about the fallibility of referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We go down too theatrically imo and it puts the refs off. I know it shouldn’t be the case, because there have been genuine fouls, but when you go down like Lawrence did I don’t think refs are particulary inclined to give pens. Unfair completely but it seems to be the way. Can’t think of any other reason why when a forest player switches to martial arts in the box, in a completely unobstructed area, that we’re not given a pen.

Tamworthram Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Behave everyone. I reckon about 90% of clubs up and down the country believe they don't get the rub of the green and refs have got it in for them. We're exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We should have had a penalty in each of our last 2 games. Both simple decisions, not sure how either ref didn't believe they were not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We had a discussion a couple of seasons ago, when we were getting loads of penalties. And the most sensible opinion (probably mine) was that it was a side effect of our style of play, running into the box, taking men on, drawing the foul. Johnny Russel was a good one for winning penalties, and Jamie ward, not to mention the wardrobe. Maybe we’re just not doing that as much. But that’s not a bad thing, we’re not scoring any less goals particularly, we’re just creating more genuine chances, rather than running up blind alleys or into traffic, looking to draw a foul. Two in two games makes it seem endemic, but I bet there haven’t been many other stone wall penalties missed recently. I certainly can’t wait til var becomes a thing.

Ghost of Clough Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Should we have had one just before half time when Marriott went down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been very soft. I do think though that Marriott is one of those players that referees have decided is not going to get penalties. Defenders are allowed to kick him, knock him over and pull him about without any punishment, yet as soon as he gives a bit back he'll be penalised.

Alph Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 We would get more penalties if we had possession in the opponents area sometimes. Usually some frickin idiot has tried a 35 yarder before then or the ball is in the sky ready to be headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The amount of penalties a team accrues during the season is typically in proportion with how many touches that team has in the opposition box. I read something yesterday that listed us as 20th in the entire league for touches in the opposition box, so it's not surprising that's roughly where we are in the division for penalties scored.
