Former Premier League referee Chris Foy discusses a number of significant match calls from the most recent League

One, League Two, and Sky Bet Championship games in Behind the Whistle.

Behind the Whistle seeks to help EFL club supporters understand how the rules of the game are applied by providing

them with an awareness of the factors that go into decision-making and by clarifying some calls.

Foy says: “In my view, Queens Park Rangers were fortunate not to concede a penalty here, as the ball clearly strikes

the arm of No 20 who is making his body bigger when the ball is played into the area.

“The right arm of QPR’s No 20 is clearly extended away from his body and is in an unnatural and unjustifiable

position. The action and movement is to deliberately block the ball, as he is making his body bigger, preventing it

from being played across the box towards the goal. The correct decision therefore would have been to award a

penalty.”
