WE SHOULD HAVE HAD PENALTY - BUT DISAPPOINTMENT SHOWS PROGRESS

I SPENT my career as a defender and, I can tell you, if I had made contact with a player like William Saliba did then I would be waiting for the whistle to blow.

- MICHAEL BALL

I've been there so many times before, tussling with an attacker inside the box and going to boot the ball as far up the pitch as I can to clear the danger.

If you do miss that ball and then connect with the opposition player you fully expect a penalty to be given against you.

Looking back on Saliba's challenge on Thierno Barry, I still cannot understand why it was not given.

I watched Ref Watch on Sky Sports on Monday morning and Dermot Gallagher argued that no penalty had been given for a similar scenario in the Premier League so far this season.

Well, show me a foul as blatant as that one.
