00:00100% penalty. Somebody somewhere has to explain to me why that's not a penalty. It's 100%.
00:11And like I said, it's a one goal game, we get the penalty, it can be a different night.
00:17I've got other words but I'm not going to use them. European competition, it might have
00:22been better to have a European referee. But we had European VR and maybe the referee didn't
00:27see the challenge clearly on the pitch. So what's the purpose of VR if they're not going
00:34to come in on something like that? It was a penalty. I don't think you can fault the
00:40effort. It was a very tough game, good opponent, very close game. It was always going to be
00:45decided by the first goal, you could tell that after half an hour. Unfortunately for
00:50us when we opened up towards the end of the game to try and chase the win that we felt
00:55we needed to get to the next stage, we got caught in counter and we lose the game 1-0.
00:59But I don't think there was anything between the two teams.
