It was often said that we didn't get many penalties under Sean Dyche because of the style of play and not getting into the opposition box often enough. Maybe that was the case but .....

Apart from two handballs (Norwich & Luton) we have now played 50 league and cup games since we were last awarded a penalty for a foul, that in the game at West Brom last season when their goalkeeper wiped out Nathan Tella.

More evidence if any were needed...

I can think of one on Monday night for starters.

If VAR did its job we would have had one for Yates grabbing Foster

That wasn't a penalty.

We're still not liked, I thought it could change with the high profile management at the club, but that's still not evident, and was apparent in the match commentary on Monday. Nobody's asking for any preferential, just to be on a level playing field at the start of play, but can't see it happening anytime soon unfortunately.

I agree, didn’t look to be any holding to me.

Also thought Fosters reaction was something Barnesy has done 100’s of times and got away with but is a red if caught.

I am pleased that Foster is putting himself about and being more imposing. Just needs to perfect the darker arts.

Can’t think of many we haven’t got that we shoulda had. If Foster was given that, we’d have 10 penalties per game.

Probably more Don Goodman than the actual commentator.

He's got previous.

Don't remember who in particular but maybe, but it was very obvious, forest forest forest, until just before we got the goal you'd have thought we'd no threat at all on the pitch and no chance of winning the game.

Even though we’ve had Benson, Zaroury, Tella and now Koleosho running at players in the box I can’t remember jumping up screaming PEN at all.
The holding that goes on in the area drives me mad and I was hoping VAR would see pens awarded and bring and end to it but just as pros lie to themselves about needing to elbow somebody in the face to make a header they accept holding as being part of the game. It shouldn’t be.

So just that one really (which half the posters in this thread think probably wasn’t a penalty anyway)?

Has anyone got an inkling who the current pen taker would be? In the squad J Rod and possibly Redmond I think have taken pens but they are not regulars at present, an obvious candidate doesn't jump out

No, not "just that one really."
I said for starters, and I'm with the other half of the posters who thought it WAS a penalty.

Interesting one - only Jay Rod remains at the club who has taken one for us.

If arms round a player stopping him from moving forward is a foul then it was a penalty. If it is allowed then why do players always get a yellow card for stopping a run in midfield by holding. Foster was trying to move to where he thought the ball was going and was clearly stopped by Yates. Sadly he decided to take the law into his own elbow instead of collapsing as if shot which would almost certainly have resulted in a penalty and a red for Yates. Please note Yates collapsed like a Mike Tyson opponent which contributed to the red for Foster
I guess the moral of this story is He who dives best Wins !!

In the very few we've had, we seem to have an extremely good record. I think Cornet in 21/22 at West Ham was the last to miss?

No idea who the last one prior to that was. Barnes, Wood and Jay always put them away.

Should have had one first game of season but apparently you can grab shirts on the go as long as its not too long according to commentators

Andre Gray at Reading in 2016 I would guess.

There can’t be many other league clubs that can better that.

You could be right. Was that when they were messing with the penalty spot?

Go on then friend, help me out as I’m struggling to recall any others.

I know they don't count but just as a matter of interest Brownhill and Taylor have both taken them in shootouts for us. Brownhill scored 1 missed 1 and Taylor scored 1.

It was, and before that both Arfield and Taylor in the 2014/15 season.

I have been wondering all season but needn't lose too much sleep really It is useful for the Prediction Leagues to know who would step up though.

Yes. Hal Robson Kanu if I remember correctly.

There was one v Man City when Akanji had hold of Amdouni a few games ago.

I'm not sure why I'm helping you out, or why you are still hanging around a rival clubs forum though

VAR looks at our badge and says NO!
