Kipre missed 2 sitters as did Hirst, plus he somehow managed to miss the header in our box which led to their goal. We play with no tempo and are so poor against a low block |  | |  |

At times it looked like we were waiting for them to reset. |  |

Unlike Kipre to miss a header. Wonder how much he's been spooked by nearly receiving a broken neck courtesy of Femi Seriki's elbow last week. Not even a booking according to the wonderful Championship referees we've been blessed with lately. |  | |  |

Yep, he was shoved from behind very clearly. More of a pen than the one that was given, which was also a pen to be fair. Ref was genuinely clueless all game, one of the worst I've seen all season. |  |

Mike Dean, like most refs on telly, talks shyte. I have seen several replays from different angles and absolutely no suggestion of a double hit. As for the handballs, all hit from close range at speed. Into the body. Nothing stood out as being a real shout compared to the obvious foul on the edge of the box. But having dived for the first, ref was never going to give clarke a second in a few minutes. [Post edited 31 Jan 18:26]

Forearm and push in the back with no attempt to play the ball, the player in front for him actually doesn’t really make any contact but it’s a clear foul from behind. First handball is drilled from O’Shea second handball shout looks a Pen. [Post edited 31 Jan 20:30]

First one looks quite soft, second looked nailed on. Either way we should have had surely 2 out of the 4 in injury time. Wasn’t there another big handball appeal before the scramble about 10 minutes earlier as well? They’ve survived 4 very decent appeals out of 5. |  |

I’ve seen it back, and while Clarke’s standing foot slips and moves, I don’t think the ball touches it. |  |

Strangely I think it has a chance of being saved if he doesn’t slip. Didn’t see a trouble touch but all those protests probably helped them survive the other appeals. |  |

| Handballs on 21:34 - Jan 31 with 914 views | Simonds92 | Foul on Clarke was pretty blatant, its one of those 'anywhere else on the pitch it's a free kick' ones which some referees in their infinite wisdom think are too soft to be a penalty, which is ridiculous, if it's a foul it's a foul. The second handball where Clarke plays the ball looks the most likely to be a handball given that the ball isn't struck hard. |  | |  |

Well yes agreed, I have seen it back a few times and I am struggling to see 2 touches or any change in ball trajectory. I honestly thought it would be pretty obvious from Dean's reaction to it. |  | |  |

Would that be the conclusion, to re take it? Genuine question as I don’t know the answer, but why wouldn’t a double touch result in a free kick to them? |  | |  |

Because the law changed last summer https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo I was watching with the Preston commentary on. Was really frustrating that they insisted it was a double touch and that Preston should have been awarded an indirect free kick! EDIT - sorry the law was 'clarified' rather than changed [Post edited 31 Jan 22:08]

I was surprised, I thought it was a free-kick if there was 2 or more touches but as Deano said a re-take I assumed he knows what he's on about but I seen Gringo has confirmed there has been a rule clarification on this. |  | |  |

Especially considering the soft freekicks defenders get from the slightest touch in the back. Exhibit A: That ridiculous one given by the corner of the Cobbold / SBR stand in the second half. |  | |  |
