       Rob Jones - Fulham vs Leicester
   DIR By: takethejag

       A largely excellent performance by Jones and his team. His foul
       detection was generally very good and he allowed play to flow,
       culminating in a great advantage played for Fulham's 4th goal,
       in which he then issued a YC retrospectively. Also good to see a
       YC for a petulant outburst from Maddison after Palhinha won the
       ball fairly.
       My only gripes were the penalties, especially the first one
       which should have generated a OFR. The sainted Jared Gillett
       should have called Jones to the monitor as Leno was adamant he
       touched the ball first and replays although not conclusive,
       seemed to corroborate Leno's claim. The second penalty was very
       soft and little or no contact and probably should not have been
       given either, but there was less chance of an OFR. Only other
       error was a clear corner to Leicester in the first half, given
       as a goal kick.

       while leno does touch the ball it is a finger tip touch...and
       that doesn't = no foul

       Think you’ve answered your own question about the first penalty,
       the fact the replays were not conclusive means the decision
       shouldn’t be overturned.

       Believe it or not a soft penalty is usually still a foul,
       meaning it is a penalty.

       Yes, but it shouldn't be a foul

       Was actually at craven cottage for this one, I echo what was
       said above, Rob Was very good.
       I don’t think var was ever gonna overturn those pens tbh, they
       may well be considered “soft”, but I wouldn’t say Rob Made an
       error awarding them.

       The problem with “soft penalties” like the Maddison one is that
       if you don’t give it then how do you defend it? (Especially in a
       VAR world).  The defender clearly moves his leg out and kicks
       Maddison in the shin. The fact he falls theatrically is neither
       here nor there when the defender hasn’t played the ball.
       The Leno penalty is pretty clear cut and as the commentator said
       on the tv… it “was never going to be overturned” by VAR.
       Also a very impressive advantage goal for the second Willian
       strike (Fulham’s 5th), and the cherry on top of a yellow card
       afterwards for the reckless tackle! All in all it appeared to be
       a pretty good showing from the referee team

       The best decision on the Maddison one is play on. Yes there is
       contact not enough for a penalty but enough not to be a dive

       The replays I saw weren't conclusive but according to others,
       there were conclusive replays where Leno clearly touched the
       ball first, in which case there should've been a OFR
