Part of the ball hits his sleeve so falls into the do want you want category

Yep, put it in the same category as the Dawson one against Leicester the other week.

Still insane that the Moutinho one was given.

Yep, put it in the same category as the Dawson one against Leicester the other week.

Still insane that the Moutinho one was given.

Moutinho was bollocks officiating, tonight is bollocks guidance. Most people would say it's handball, but as the ball clips the sleeve and that's the guidance then is it? It's not what I think they mean when they say that, but it's too vague

 

[BillyDee]

Fuck VAR

 

[PuntsWolf]

A balls fucking massive isn’t it. The centre of the ball looks just below the sleeve, but undoubtedly some also hits the sleeve.

The big issue is that the “t-shirt line” is such an arbitrary postion anyway. It’s not the same player to player!

 

[Wilf Wolf]

City fans were very keen to claim that even if the Moutinho penalty was a bad decision the one earlier in the game by Kilman was a clear penalty. The one on Kilman was higher on the sleeve so I'm certain they all thought Rodri's was a nailed on penalty. Or perhaps not...

 

[Throbber3]

If Everton go down by a point then there will be some caterwauling. Looked a pen, without var would be a pen

 

[Throbber3]

Shearer rightly gives Riley dogs abuse for VAR decision today and others during the season. Rightly so Alan

 

[Alan]

We don't look half bad so far.

Cristian Makoun looks a bit of a bombscare, though. Hopefully nerves.

 

[Alan]

Bahahahahaha.

Spawny as you like but I don't fucking care. Charlotte's first ever goal.

Fuck. What a feeling.

 

[Alan]

Ah yay bitten by VAR.

Ortiz was off, though, fair enough. Just get to experience the first goal feeling twice now.

 

[Alan]

YAy CONCACAF refs!

 

[Tony Towner]

How is that Lukaku goal offside?

 

[big mean bunny]

Been a great final this though, especially for a competition that isn't always taken seriously.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Am I allowed to say the keepers are fucking shite this time?

 

[Sniffer]

Well Kepa is at taking them.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sub a keeper on, fails to save 11 penalties, then misses his own...special

 

[PuntsWolf]

Pretty sure Kepa’s record has always been shite. He won one recently but that’s been it.

 

[big mean bunny]

He was brought on as a "Shout out" specialist according to a Chelsea fan I know and so I checked, he has saved 8 and overtook Cech according to the article I read, which was from September, and in the official club site.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Yep his record in shootouts seems to be better recently (or Mendys is worse)

Transfermarkt has him down as 7 career saves and 17 against but it doesn’t include shootouts.

 

[Mel Evo]

Traore o’clock. Ropey looking Athletic team to run at.
