I know Coach Moser and he would never ever complain about calls made or not made like this particular matter. He has won too many important games in his career to let poor sportsmanship to show at this time.
It was a great game played by two of our state's best men's soccer programs.

Here's something I've been thinking about at work today. Those of us who were at the game have an opinion on whether it was a penalty or not; a lot of people, myself included, think it was a clear penalty - others do not. It's all water under the bridge now - the one person whose opinion counted made his decision Saturday night. The point is, many of us, myself included, have lost sight of the point that the (non) decision did not lose the game for St Paul's; what lost it was the corner down on the other end a minute later. Just because the decision did not go SPS's way did not necessarily mean they were destined to lose - it was still up to them to determine that. Who knows if the forward would have scored if he wasn't fouled? Who knows if the pk would have been made? Those are interesting what ifs, but the main factor in St Paul's losing that game was their inability to defend set pieces - the coach said so himself. if the pk gets called then there would have been a stoppage in play for the kick instead of play continuing and putting jesuit in position to even get the corner. not definite that sps would have made the kick and i see what you're saying but the no call changed the game just as much as the call would have

My opinion on the video is that it is inconclusive about the status of a foul. I think the one conclusion that CAN be made from the video is that the ref is not in the correct position to make the call. I'm not saying he COULD have been in the correct position - just that he wasn't. That's a matter for the referee evaluator(s) to consider and act on if necessary.
