Bristol City contact PGMOL over penalty issues which have left Nigel Pearson 'bemused'

Nigel Pearson Bristol City PGMOL Robins Swansea Swansea City Kevin Friend EPL FA Cup

Bristol City have contacted the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) following another game in which the Robins were denied what they believe to be a clear penalty kick.

Sky Sports News have reported that the club have contacted Championship referees manager Kevin Friend - coincidentally a City fan - to request an investigation into the continuing trend which has seen the Robins go 430 days without a spot-kick being awarded in their favour.

Bristol Live understands there has been no formal request to Friend or the PGMOL to conduct such an investigation, but in their post-match report, which is filed after every game, City have asked for clarification as to why two first-half incidents against Swansea City in Sunday's FA Cup tie went unpunished.
