Just went back and watched the Lumberton game, and they got absolutely screwed.  Less than a minute and a half left, BLATANT dive inside the box with zero contact, and the ref is 6 ft away and he gives a penalty.  Should’ve been a card for simulation.  Navasota tied it on the PK and won the shootout later 

So many games in playoffs decided by questionable PK’s this year. Lumberton boys the latest victim. IMO a pk should not be awarded unless there is a clear flagrant attempt by the defender to play through the body or an apparent handball that is outside of the body and blocks a shot on goal. These outcomes have been decided by the referees giving away cheap goals

The lumberton play was the Navasota player trying a little back heel or something and the lumberton defender poking the ball away.  The Navasota player then fell down like his legs had been swept out from under him, even though there was zero contact.  The ref was literally right there.  I sure hope he went back and watched the play so he can feel bad about his call.
