The only reason to give a corner is because he thinks the keeper got a hand to the ball from his angle. If the keeper doesn’t (and he doesn’t at all) then it’s not just technically a penalty, it is a penalty. The real insane error is from the linesman who’s right there. It would have been so...
You could just as easily sarcastically say:
‘Des was absolutely brilliant in beating Peterborough 5-0, a tactical masterclass. But the rubbish squad he inherited could never have got a single more goal in the next two home games - the solitary 1 point and single goal was overachieving and all...
