Happy to.  Our shocker from the ref in the Bristol Rovers game was paid back to us with a soft penalty against Braintree.  In 1991 we were denied a clear penalty against Bolton Wanderers but by the end of that season John Cockerill's first against Exeter was (maybe?) offside but given, so karma worked itself out.  There are loads of examples, but these are part of the story of football.  England being cheated against Argentina in 1986 is part of football folklore, and the feeling we're "owed one" is part of the narrative of the game and being a fan.  


Our Teutonic cousins would have that as karma for 'der Wembley-Tor'. But it still rankles with me. The cheating little, chubby ba-stard.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The so called shocker wasn't a disallowed goal, it was never a soft penalty against Braintree and Cockerill's goal wasn't offside so you will have to better than that.
