Yup, Lancashire. Used to work for the CFA there as RDO.

Not for me, he felt the contact and flung himself to the floor.
A penalty wouldn't have been wrong per se, but it wasn't a
given.

I agree - just seems to barge right though him in the back.
Totally misjudged with no attempt or possibility to play the
ball. Looked cast-iron PK to me.
The RC looked messy. The quick YC in hand is meant to diffuse
when it’s in doubt, but it was always going to be at least that,
so should wait and take views of colleagues before committing,
if possible RC. Then if you’ve decided RC, should get it done
quickly, but it took a while. Looked weak, like players talked
him into it, even though most likely had a shout from a
colleague.

Just seen the potential penalty incident for the first time.
Have to say, looks a stonewall penalty to me. Think it’s unfair
to say attacker filling himself to ground. He’s trying to chest
it down, and Mavrapanos just goes through the back of him for
absolutely no reason.
