[Albion] Dunk ‘handball’

[Bakero]

Ridiculous call

 

[ManOfSussex]

Just seen it on MOTD. What a load of ****.

 

[METALMICKY]

It's a nailed on handball by Dunk but only under the current guidelines which we all thought were being revised over the summer. He's looking totally the wrong way and ricochets on to his elbow.

To make it even more ridiculous just seen MOTD and again under the current admittedly daft guidance that should still be a handball given against Declan Rice. At least let's be consistent in giving stupid penalties!

For balance I thought our penalty was a little soft and could have been overturned

Just seen the ball hit Tarkowski on the elbow but no penalty given. Looked more of a penalty than the Dunk one. It is the lack of consistency that is frustrating!

Beat me to it! Another day they will give that! It's a lottery!

This!

Rice had a cheeky involuntary handball inside the penalty area that was ‘fine’ too.

I thought the guidance was it can hit the hand / arm if it’s in a natural position. Which a sliding Dunk was. So I don’t see it as a pen? Yes ours wasn’t either but was more a pen than the Dunk one nonetheless…

I was in line with it in WSU and couldn't understand why it was given. Was 100% sure VAR would rule it out, then figured I must have missed something.

Turns out I'm not totally blind. The officiating was a total shambles today. Watch a Chelsea or Liverpool player do the same tomorrow and a pen not be given.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

OMFG. Lee Mason is back? What is his role?

Don’t worry nothing dangerous, just referee trainer

Lee Mason set for PGMOL return as referees’ coach after VAR blunder last season

Mason had left his role as a VAR in February by mutual consent.

Was about about to post the same thing, there was no difference

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Wow. No mention.

Luton are pants, Brighton producing more talent and Lineker hawking Ferguson to Spurs.

Nice to have him bigged up - Chelsea to offer £1/4 billion for a teenager and told to get stuffed.

 

[Springal]

Am I the only one that doesn’t mind this rule ? Removes any ambiguity now rather than what was ‘deliberate’ or not

I’m less bothered about inconsistency across different games as long as the ref is consistent over 90 mins. Yesterday we got a soft pen and that was cancelled out by their soft pen, so no real complaints.

I think you’ll find that the ref ‘cancelled out’ our soft penalty by not giving us the one just before Adingra scored. It was blatant as Joao Pedro was cleared out properly this time with the player’s legs rather than the attempted clothes line he got the original decision for.

Apart from the forearm into JP s throat / face
yes nothing there to make the ref give a pen

I agree...it was a forearm...would have been a free kick in midfield...a deserved pen

I have a feeling that VAR would’ve given that one if we hadn’t scored.

I suppose that we should be thankful that they didn’t rule out Adingra’s effort making us take a penalty we may have missed.

 

[Auckland seagull]

Our penalty was soft, but this one was completely ridiculous. What is he supposed to do? Have his arms amputated?

 

[brighton_tom]

Just saw it on MOTD - so harsh. Not even facing the ball.

Yeh, the ref’s incorrect decision to not give the pen on-field meant that we were effectively benefiting from an advantage rule.
