| The Isak non penalty 17:31 - Nov 3 with 690 views | Garv | And the unnecessary fallout... Should a penalty ever really be given if not one single player appeals for it? I was surprised to realize I was agreeing with Martin Keown yesterday when he covered it. Everyone was dead set on it being a penalty and that Isak was impeded, but did anyone think to get Isak's thoughts on it? You know, the guy that was central to the incident and made nothing of it? Not sure Iraola's message of encouraging diving and play acting is the way to go. |  |

But I see where you are coming from because just feels like Isak can't have thought it effected him much given zero appeal. There is a big difference between appealing for a pen and diving. I think Isak should be making it clear he was held. Madness to just not even react really. Diving is completely different. |  |

If it's a foul, its a foul. The pull on the shirt almost certainly stopped him from getting his head on the ball. Would have scored? Who knows. But its a clear foul |  | |  |

I agree on the whole, but if no player reacts it's not really going to encourage the referee to give something. I don't want to encourage players to go down, the opposite, but I'd expect some sort of authentic appeal. Isak made nothing of it, I don't think that should be ignored. |  |
