I have to say if you give a pen for pulling to us then Field does the same second half but it wasn't seen so lucky for us.
Otherwise, we still have to be a lot more clinical to get out of what we are in but at least we are making chances and pressing well. And the football is lightyears better and that has to make the players feel a bit more confident, you would hope.
Extended highlights QPR 4 Stoke 2 on 08:13 - Nov 30 by Landshark
So the difference between it being a penalty or not is if the attacking player goes down or not? You can grab hold of someones shirt as much as you want to prevent them positioning their body in the way they want but as long as they don't go down it's not a penalty? It will be interesting to hear your opinion in future on shirt pulling when QPR are attacking.
There were several differences between the 2 cases (which I cited above but you conveniently chose to ignore). Sadly not going down does appear to be a defining factor hence why managers coach players to go down under contact. I recall an away game where Willock had his shirt tugged as he attempted to race on to a ball over the top. As he didn't go down, the ref waved play on. You may not like it, but it's one of the realities of football.
