We should have had 3, if not 4, penalties. Ref was equally awful to both sides. Oh, and Dawson should have been sent off.Originally Posted by Herbert Augustus Chapman

Rodriguez seemed to get away with an awful lot of fouls after his yellow, also.
I found Sky's coverage a bit odd. They came straight back from the ad break and showed not the goal, but WBA's turned down penalty. All the while ignoring our equally legitimate penalty claim, of course.
And another example of Alan Smith being an utter c*nt by playing the 'ooh look at me I'm an ex-Gooner but I am completely objective in my role for Sky' card and as a result actually being biased against us.
Mustafi's foul was a clear pen however Monreal being dragged back by Nyom and the Polish chap grabbing Sanchez's shirt as he attempted to get to a loose ball in the box (both nailed on pens) were described as 'dangerous' and 'sailing close to the wind'.
Tw@t.
The whole commentary was ****ing irritating, to put it mildly. As you say, Alan Smith tries to hard to not be biased and Alan Parry is terrible at the best of times.
THought the same re Dawson. The ref let a lot of fouls go. There were some unbelievably blatant ones that he just didnt give at all.
