The referee i use the term lightly did not have a video to watch. The first feeling for all of us was penalty. The only person who did not was the idiot. If he got it right would be obe hell if a referee which he blatantly wasn't

But if the referee made the correct decision (and he did) when not being in an ideal position that's actually to his credit. I thought it was a penalty yesterday but the ref was the best placed to see the situation yesterday and he got it right. Obviously, I'm disappointed that it wasn't a pen and yesterday's result was miserable but I've looked at the evidence several times and have no doubt that the ref got that decision right. I realise that this won't be a popular view but sometimes you just gotta hold your hand up and admit you got it wrong.

Mike, how far behind the incident would you say he was when the coming together happened. ?  Two players lying on the floor in the penalty area.  He had to give something.  He was guessing at incidents.   Right or wrong on the pen, he was poor all afternoon.   

Having said all that the ref didn’t miss 4/5 guilt edge chances.

Still looks a foul to me but no pen. First contact was in the D, so no pen, but an illegal tackle denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. The fact the ball was to the left of Hendo and the defender came in from the right side means it can't possibly be a fair shoulder to shoulder.. should have been a free kick and a red card IMO.....at no time is the defender looking to get to or make contact with the ball...just contact with Hendo

The ref was close enough for a good view to make the right decision. I'm not defending his other decisions but it's very easy to get caught up in a lynch- mob mentality during a game.
We all got that penalty decision wrong yesterday, except for the ref. The need for scapegoats is very powerful in these circumstances but credit where credit is due.

The ball wasn't to the left it was directly in front of them. Simple foot race that Henderson realised he was going to lose and if you look carefully you'll notice that he clips his own ankles: a classic footballer ploy. You can't blame him for trying but the booking was deserved.

[KES80]

I will see if I can post the freeze frame Stan...ball is clearly to the left of Hendo at point of initial contact as I recall, but will check and post if my memory of it is correct.

[Stan]

I've looked at the freeze frame and slow-mo. Henderson clips his own heels hence the yellow for simulation.

We will have to disagree on that one...a foul all day long for me

So are you telling me that you can't see Henderson clip his own ankles? This isn't a question of a difference of opinion the facts are there for all to see.

Referees at this level have to rely on their judgement,no VAR here! Anyone in their right mind being in the position of the refere or the linesman would have given a foul our way,they went with the shout from Guiseley players,the basis on which most decisions were mad during the game!

"Anyone in their right mind!" You mean anyone with your mind. Suck it up Griss, you know it wasn't a pen!

[Mallard]

Ok let’s replay it, Hypothetically of course. Ref points to the spot.  Up steps our 30 goal penalty taker.

On his form of late and particularly yesterday what happens next ?

[KES80]

Goal and with the confidence he gets another 15 over the remaining games and Lynn breeze the league
