Penalty!

Just watched the 'highlights' and can't understand how on earth that penalty wasn't given last night!!! How can a player go straight up then diagonal! Reminds me of a very similar incident with Livvo (I think) when we played villa years ago.

Now, am not saying we would've gone on to win, but it certainly couldn't have been any worse than a defeat.

Keep 5hite refs in the conference for gods sake

Definite penalty

Ive just seen that aswell! Obvs were biased but fook me even my daughter asked me " why is he flying? "

A Colchester fans view of the incident.......


"Having just seen the penalty incident on the Player highlights, Bogle does himself no favours at all. It's nothing more than Prosser leaning into him, without any real force, and Bogle goes flying through the air like he's been completely shoved. No more a penalty than Guthrie being sandwiched in the first half (which wasn't a penalty either)."

I'm not going to lie, I do think Bogle made too much of it. It was a foul, but come on, he was barely off the ground and the guys leaned on him, the way he went into the net it was like the defender was a trampoline.

I was directly in line with the incident and had a clear view. Bogle got a shove in mid air, momentum took him into the goal. He didn't have to make more of it. Obvious penalty, please don't criticise one of our players for something he didn't do. Only thing we got from the ref and the lino last night was not giving a second yellow to Boyce, giving us enough time to get him subbed.

Just seen highlights on sky (one goal missing) but in the build up to on of there goals gowling is clearly been pulled back by one of their players.

Seems like we did not get luck of the green at all but we need move on play better and get back to making bp a hard place to come.

Utm 3 points Saturday 😊

It is simply not possible to jump vertically (which Bogle did) but then somehow land 3 yards in front of your starting point without getting a shove of some sort. The defender deliberately barged into him with his back turned so no attempt to play the ball - it's as clear a penalty as you will see and therefore a red card as well. Cowardly incompetence from the referee.

However crap we may have played for some of the game, there is no excuse for the officials failing to do their jobs properly and bottling such an obvious decision. That could be a potentially lost point which is the difference between staying up and doing down or (hopefully) getting promotion/into the play-offs.

If the defender had pick the ball out of the air and shoved it up his shirt,

The ref still would not have given us a penalty,

He hates us for some reason.

No red card i think if a penalty is given under the new rulings, a penalty award equals a yellow only, anywhere else on the pitch and i think it would have been given but also on the highlights i think they had an equal claim when Guthrie (?) got sandwiched but got nothing, again i think anywhere else and that would have been a free kick.

Cr@p decisions happen, we shouldnt play that badly to start with to be grasping at straws about what maybe could have happened if ....etc etc.
They looked sharper all over the pitch and we looked pedestrian and p1ss poor in possession..thats why we lost.
