That should be retaken... he clearly stops.

Lol look at that bullshit toenail offside.

Not fit for purpose the way the laws are written. Same with handball.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Penalty for me

So you thought Kilmans at Leicester was too?

You're allowed to as long as you don't stop as you swing at the ball. See Lewandowski the other night.

It's closer to Kilman vs West Ham last season

 

[slink]

If that’s a penalty it’s time to give up. He’s clearly just running and everything is in a natural position.

Thanks for the clarification.

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

Eh? That was for offside. Not handball?

 

[jlo]

Penalty for me

Agreed, the slow mo made me doubt it but in real time the change in direction was a lot more clear

 

[Templeton Peck]

Pen for me Clive

 

[Dire Wolf]

The Danes feeling that familiar Wolves sting.

It's almost as if Stuart Atwell is on VAR...

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

 

[AndyWolves]

Defenders need to chop their arms off.

Worse than that we're going to see more of the 'arms behind the back' defending which I find irrationality irritating

 

[The Bear]

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

 

[Mel Evo]

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

 

[AndyWolves]

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.
