 Referee Backhouse denies the Swans a point at West Brom 31st Aug 2024 17:49The Swans looked highly unlikely that they wouldn’t get a shot on goal after the first half let alone take a point from this game. They nearly did, but referee Anthony Backhouse turned down a fifty fifty penalty shout in the second half, they’ve been given, and then minutes later a clear penalty after a foul on Eom.  0
Shocking decision, click above.

Wasn't sure about the Eom penalty shout myself. Need to look at a replay, but my initial thought was that the contact with the keeper came after the attempted shot. It would have been nice to see a decision go our way. | | | |

Not sure myself if it was, some refs would have given it, as he went in 2 feet. |  | | |

The test has to be of that was a tackle outside of the area would the referee have given a free kick. I think he would have. Liam tells me it was an unequivocal yes from the press area today. |  |

Looking at the direction of travel the ball took I thought the keeper missed the ball imo | |

From what I’ve seen I think he got the ball but followed through on EOM which as Keith has alluded to above woukd have been a FK anywhere else and possibly a booking. |  |

It was right in front of us who went and it was a naled on pen in my opinion. The other one is a no from me though.
I just wish refs would be consistent, against Cardiff Tanner was injured by his own fans, off the pitch but the ref stopped play, today the Ref MADE Eom go off for treatment and then, when he'd been of the pitch a few seconds, re-started play.
There were also some poor free kicks given against us, some of the WBA giants were surprisingly fragile today, after one corner 3 of them and the keeper were laying prone. I call BS but the ref kept falling for it.
Sayingbthe ref swungit though, a tad harsh considering we could easily have been 4 nil down at half time and would have deserved it.We were utter rubbsh.
There was a big improvement in the second but we still looked toothless. | | | |

If we had that penalty it would have been a draw. I’m certain.
The fact they missed their chances, they were opportunities they had, we didn’t have that opportunity, denied by the referee. to quote Liam. | |

The 2nd half was a lot better.
If we didn’t concede before half time we would have probably won this game today.
But we can’t play like we did in the first half and expect anything.
We could of been 3 or 4 down in reality. | |

No, 3 or 4 chances they made without any help from the ref, they ripped through us a few times in the first half and very easily too.
the ref was more help to them in the second, in my opinion. Whenever we looked threatening he was likely to blow the whistle for something. | | | |

I’m certain we would have immediately dropped even deeper and invited onto us .
I’m also certain ,we would have given away a free kick or corner which their much bigger players would have smashed into our net.
I was pretty certain ,half time,we would crush Cardiff too | |

I’m talking about that 😂 Nothing to do with the referee giving them chances. They made them out of their own volition. The fact they couldn’t take them is down to them. The one chance we had to equalise was denied to the Swans by the referee. | |

But you are certain we would have got the draw. There's no guarantee we'd have scored the pen or that they wouldn't have gotten another goal. Football doesn't work like that, no guarantees, ever. Otherwise we'd have beaten Wycombe. | | | |

There was only one guarantee, had we been awarded a nailed on penalty we would have had a chance to score, from our own volition, which wasn’t offered to us.

So you can't be certain we'd have equalised and hung on for a draw then? | | | |

You can’t be certain we wouldn’t have.
I deal in reality, and the reality is it was a nailed on penalty.
