Seen them given

"Uh oh. A moment of panic for Liverpool as Denis Suarez tumbles in the area after a challenge by Alberto Moreno. Suarez wants a penalty but the referee is having none of it. Seen them given." (The Guardian.)

Is Seen them given a verbal shorthand for "I've seen them [penalties like that one in the above context] be/being given."?

Yes. Some referees in similar circumstances would have given a penalty. This one chose not to.
