Was the penalty soft?

[Artful Dodger]

I thought it was half a penalty for handball as it looks like Mitro's knockback hits the top of the defenders arm as he jumps and half a penalty for a push, so the ref decided two halves make a whole and awarded the penalty!

Arms extended fully, it was a push, and thus a penalty. It was clear as day. Reid didn't go down flailing theatrically, he just took absorbed the momentum.

While Leeds played dirty, they also played a bit theatrically as well. I'm not home, but the biggest fake dive was when Kemar Phillips steps and falls in the path of Reed...I think it was...and the ref called the foul. You can see clearly there is zero contact.

Yes, deffo a penalty. Two hands in his back .... light or hard push, doesn't matter ... stupid from the defender too since the ball was flying over his head

Cav gets booked for diving when there was definitely contact; Arter gets booked for diving  .. a bit after contact had been made, and for a second yellow at that; Leeds player - nothing! And when Bamford tripped Cearney to prevent a counter-attack, about 4 yards away from the ball - no yellow. Plus about another dozen incidents.  On the website it said there were only 4 yellow cards for Leeds - I thought I counted more - 6 I thought ... but maybe I got one the wrong way round, and ref decided to book one of us for being fouled.
