It didn't look like the keeper made any contact with Tomlin at all and as he was on a yellow there was a risk that if the ref saw it as a dive he could have been off the field!
Ralls obviously thought it was wrongly awarded as well as he passed the ball gently back to their keeper from the spot kick.
Now I know that Ralls had a 100% record with his pens before tonight but his first penalty was so weak (the keeper dived over it) that there could have been an arguement for someone else to take the second penalty.
I noticed Warnock said something to Ralls as he left the pitch at the end - I wonder if it was "You're off pens now Joe"

I was in the Canton right in line with Tomlins run and I thought he just caught him although I could be persuaded otherwise by tele replay. Tomlin was completely airborne so he would have gone flying at the slightest of touches. If there was any contact not initiated by a Tomlin trailing leg then its definite penalty. Its not a case of there be insufficient force, in this case the slightest impact would have taken him out.
