As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Never in a million years was it a penalty.
Yellow card to the kiev player (for the foul + cheating, unsporting behaviour) and free kick to Arsenal.
Referee was suckered. Hope he learns from it.

At first glance I thought the ref would give it, to be honest. From his position he couldn't see the Kiev player pull Bacs onto him.
A shit decision made all the more shittier by the fact we should have been about 3-0 up at the time.
