Okay, I watched that game, first of all, Dawson may have been lighty jarred on conceding the first penalty, but it was hardly a foul, and either way, a CB should know to never, ever, put your hands up when going for a corner.
The Gomes penalty was clear cut. No contact with the ball, and again, if Gomes wasnt butterfingers and actually, oh, I dont know, held the damn ball when he caught it the first time there wouldnt have been a problem.
That Adam tackle on Bale was gruesome. I remember seeing it happen, and I'm largely convinced that Bale is really very fragile, I remember thinking to myself 'has this guy ever finished a whole 90 minutes?'
Then they showed the replay, and that was ugly. That really should have been a red card. Sure, I doubt there was intent there, but even if that was just clumsy that was a bad, bad tackle.
