Thanjk you.

Linesman put his flag up as an initial free was cleared, after a coming together of Herd and the WBA player, play continued on with no complaints from anyone and then the ref doled out a pen and a red card purely on the linesmans say so.
Weird thing is Herd just accepted it and walked off.
20 replays later....still not clear what happened.
*******s just equalised before HT as well.

Astonishing peno award for WBA and red card for Herd.
Never seen anything like that.
Happy end note though.....a truly dreadful effort goes miles wide.
Given by the linesman, but Dowd is going to have to be on the ball with his excuses after this.
West Brom missed pen: Right, I've seen a couple of replays but it is still not immediately obvious what has happened. Chris Herd does tangle with Jonas Olsson as the run in for Chris Brunt's (blocked) free-kick but it is never a red card, not in a million years, even when they tangle as theyget up afterwards. It's a pretty soft penalty too, so perhaps justice is done when Chris Brunt steps up to wildly blast his spot-kick well wide of goal. Think Chris Waddle in Italia 90, but worse.
1536: MISSED PENALTY (Chris Brunt, smashes it about 10 miles wide)
1536: I have no idea why Phil Dowd has given West Brom a penalty, or sent Chris Herd off, but...
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
