It seems that you can't tackle a bloke with three blokes....and push him back without the ref shouting 'held' after nanoseconds.
I'd be sick as a parrot if I was a Fev fan....the better side are leading with minutes to go and the ref does that...and awards a penalty..and costs them the game .....totally wrong.
I don't agree with shouting 'held' when players are clearly not holding put pushing the bloke back. The rule is a farce.

Spot on. It was never a penalty.

Thanks for your comments.It is bad enough losing a semi but to have a decision like that go against you at such a crucial time in the game which leads to the winning try is gut wrenching.Sombre mood on the way home last night.

Barrow certainly got their fair share of the marginal calls.
