Sorry most people accept it was not a penalty - that is why we are still talking about it days later (apparently even you wouldn't give it). Leahy cleared the ball - cleanly. McCarthy hit him. How can that be a foul ? Unless a free out. Is a defender obliged to get out of his way ? Either both were dangerous or neither were (in which case it is not a penalty) so the careless argument cuts both ways.
As for 'conflicting views' it was embarrassing that McCarthy claimed to have got the first touch. Sheppard trying to get Leahy sent off was, sadly, pretty much par for the course.
Anyway, over and done with now so we move on. Hopefully in the replay Bohs can finish the job that Rogers prevented us completing on Sunday.
