The Rickie pen that wasn't was
The Lallana pen that wasn't FFS that is beyond belief. If the defender got the ball, it's a corner. If he didn't get the ball it's a foul. If he didn't make contact with Lallana then Lallana dived, so should be booked... With all of those factors - How was a goal kick given.
I made my boss watch these highlights with me, he's a ref, his assessment
Rickie pen - WTF, yes pen
Lallana pen - WTF, deffo pen, baffled
Handball pen - Probably not, judging by the direction the player was looking he said it struck the arm which wasn't outstretched to stop the ball but because off the movement he was making

what about their goal? From where I was sitting it looked like somebody seriously fouled Kelvin but I couldn't be certain about that... it was just the way he fell down that looked like he couldn't have done it on his own?

It was right in front of me and at the time I thought Kelvin had been fouled. Watching the highlights on the BBC site and it didn't look such a clear foul. |

Yes, BBC highlights are a bit inconclusive on that one. I thought it was a foul at the time, but watching it again it looks like maybe the player was just stood ridiculously close to Kelvin. Notice they played on that in the second half when they took a corner and basically all stood on Kelvin's toes |

Uncle Dave thought Kelvin was fouled and that the ref gave the pen to make up for the other one.

We do get quite a lot of penalties. I wonder if that was in the ref's mind. Although I don't think much was in his mind to be honest.
Hopefully Sharp's arrival will see more of the goalmouth scrambles like the one at the end resulting in goals.
