By current laws they’ve got both calls right, IFAB are the arseholes

Yep. Arm being away from the body seemingly over-rules it being in a natural position. Same with Joao Gomes last season at Luton.

Given I’m still annoyed about the Dendoncker goal against Leicester being overturned, I’m not very keen on that penna.

 

[AndyWolves]

It goes completely against the purpose of a penalty. You don't decide games on things like that.

Exactly, punishment is way worse than the crime.

 

[ROVERT47]

Having seen it back a couple of times he didn’t need his arm in that position, definite pen.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Lovely touch, awful finish.

 

[The Bear]

That accidental clip of legs as two players run across each other is always given as a foul if its someone running onto the ball and not just keeping up with play.

Another wildly inconsistent rule.

Exactly. What a state the game is in when some fans think that it is a correct decision. It’s just never a penalty if you understand body mechanics and the impact it had on the cross etc…

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Eh? That was for offside. Not handball?

You know we conceded a penalty in that game?!

 

[Tony Towner]

You know we conceded a penalty in that game?!

It's a lot closer than the Kilman one

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That's lovely from Havertz to turn back and give someone chance to catch up with him, another toss finish though.

 

[PuntsWolf]

You know we conceded a penalty in that game?!

No I’d completely forgot. But they are nothing a like for me.

You can’t be having a go at players for putting arms behind their back and then say this is a pen.

 

[jd1981]

That’s a crap finish by Hojlund just blasting it

 

[Jack Regan]

Musiala shows him how it's done.

 

[The Bear]

Good finish from Musiala but he should have squared it. You look a right greedy idiot if you miss.

 

[Sniffer]

Schmeichel should have had that.

 

[jd1981]

How square do you want to be at the back, it’s a good ball and finish but it’s dreadful defending.

 

[jd1981]

Shut up Clive it’s a tidy finish but stop making out it’s Maradona esque

 

[Dire Wolf]

Entertaining game this.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

This can only go one way now.

Gotta get the full hyperbole in for his final ITV game. I assume he's got a bingo card of all the things he needs to say before the 90 minutes are up in front of him.
