I don't think goals like that should be disallowed but i'm pretty sure that the ball hit Sanchez's arm before hitting Soucek so surely under the laws these days then the goal shouldn't stand?

Yep. Shit rule but you can't change them in the season. They would have seen that hit the arm.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely. I want our two points and one knocked off the Leicester total for consistency.

Everyone thought it would be a higher than usual points total to survive this season, don’t think it will now. Bottom 5 points accumulation has virtually ground to holt.

Feel like it was slightly less conclusive than Boly’s. Couldn’t be 100% from the replay that it hit his arm maybe?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They would get more if they played Holt.

It clearly did according to most sources.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

They spend minutes looking for a toe offside yet decide the ball didn't hit Sissoko's arm (even though it did) in seconds.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Defo was his arm.

Now I'm fine with it, he clearly didn't mean it, but it's a blanket rule surely.

West Ham are rubbish.

Well they didn't spend an age looking at it.
1st replay Sky showed and it hit his arm so they have decided that the rule used before the break has been axed.

 

[The Bear]

I couldn't see from two slow-mos of different angles whether it touched his arm or not.

How can the referees at Stockley park be so bad, they're so inconsistent and they can't seem to get things right even with all the tech.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You need glasses then. First replay was pretty clear to me. The ball brushes against his bicep.

 

[jd1981]

Who’s running VAR tonight?

The ball went forward on to Soucek and there wasn't another body part close to the ball so it definitely had to have hit his arm. I said i was pretty sure but in all fairness i'm absolutely sure.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Gonzo

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Second goal is absolutely fine though. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[slink]

What is Balbuena doing there, just step up and Kane is miles offside. No awareness what so ever.

 

[PuntsWolf]

That’s just an awful turnover of possession. So casual and Antonio gets the man on call as you hear it. Gets robbed, Kanes in, never missing

 

[Carrotdude]

Fair play to Kane, he’s been rubbish and is completely out on his feet again (no idea why mourinho refuses to sub him) but he’s done well to keep his composure there.
