Seeing JJ having a pint with the Espanyol fans or Pace posting from the stadium strangely makes their interaction’s with the Burnley fans feel somewhat disingenuous.

I can't see how people don't think this was a penalty.
It was an insane decision from Porro.
Just because it was highly unlikely that Anthony was going to reach the ball it doesn't stop the fact that it was a foul.
