Much better performance today, very please. How is the foul on Oscar by the goalie not a pen? Reminded me of Collocini on Demba Ba at Newcastle a few seasons ago, and we never got a pen then either!
Foul in the box, ball still in play. What am I missing here?
We'd have been champions a month ago if all penalties had been correctly awarded. Still amusing to hear the Arsenal fans whine about us being boring - enjoy your sexy football and one trophy in nine years ladsFoul in the box, ball still in play. What am I missing here?

I must have missed all the Chelsea players appearing for blatant pen....Foul in the box, ball still in play. What am I missing here?
It was a 50/50 ball and Ospina had nowhere to go.
I've just seen the clip...how on earth that isn't a penalty I have no idea!!
For those (Arsenal supporters) saying where was the GK supposed to go. That isn't the point, every foul is the same, 2 players going for the ball, 1 gets there before the other.
It reminds me of the Schumacher v Batssiton foul way back when. Ironically also not a foul.

Well he shouldn't have come for it if he couldn't get there first. 99% of fouls are 2 players legitimately going for the same ball, one one getting there before the other, leaving the player who is late nowhere to go other than to collide with the player who beat him to the ball. That's what a foul is! paulrockliffe said:
I thought it was a foul by the keeper, but it was also high foot by the Chelsea player. The high foot was first.
The laws of the game don't prohibit a high foot. A player can put his foot as high as he likes. It only becomes an offence it it endangers another player. Oscars foot was no longer high by the time Ospina got to him.TwigtheWonderkid said:

Eden Hazard PFA player of the year 
Great honour for our 2nd best player of the year. But I doubt JT will care that he's been overlooked.Cheib said:

you sound like Sean Dyche in his shameful defence of Ashley Grimes.
Hardly matters now but the list of denied penalties this year is laughable.

The reason I stopped playing 11 a side, even at my lowly level, was because I was getting far too slow. I was going for 50/50 balls and not getting to them, and fouling the younger bloke who got there first. In my last season I was sent off 3 times (quite rightly), whereas I'd only been sent off once in the previous 20 years!
If the goalie comes charging out for a 50/50 ball, if he is too slow and clatters the attacker, that's a pen and a yellow/red card. End of story.
