[Football] Who do you want to win today, Man U or City?

[jcdenton08]

I didn't see that, but was that EL case more of a VAR issue rather than whether it was classified as handball or not?

It was a decision VAR should’ve given

Under the current ridiculous handball guidance it's a handball all day long. Come the summer they are really going to have a look at the rules and guidance. In a sensible world it's not given as accidental and more importantly not hand to ball and arm not in an unnatural position.

Penalty according to current rules. Not a penalty according to common sense, which isn't allowed any more

He shouldn't have hands?

You can jump without raising your hands. I was trained how to "jump like a fish" when I was 8

 

[jcdenton08]

Never thought I’d be feeling sorry for Grealish but that was a horrible decision.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

How the VAR doesn't give a penalty to City I don't know.

Would’ve been relatively soft but it was as much of a pen as Manchester United’s.

Consistency, common sense.

Pick one.

You might have a point I suppose, unless you jump like a fish you risk getting a handball, seems silly though!

Great dive by sock boy there.

Get neither. Again, the handball in the Sevilla Roma game was more clear cut and not given.

 

[Normal Rob]

I'm already thinking that this should be the referees last game ever.

 

[allystrat]

Let's face it, neither incident should have been a penalty but the lawmakers have lost the plot.

I'm sure that would've made a big splash.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Man U are awful but I can see them winning this. Our games are much more interesting than this one, we are clearly being spoilt.

 

[gazingdown]

Wasn’t sure who I wanted to win, however after that half I’m plumping for Manchester.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Fernandes makes my blood boil. What a tosser.

The penalty is right by the letter of the law, which shows how stupid the law is really.

don’t start, I’m still cross with you as it is

I am sick of reading this. You’re right. I accept you’re right. What I don’t understand is why other more blatant handball decisions which are “right by the letter of the law” aren’t given by VAR. It’s a joke.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Just a reminder that Atwell and Salisbury didn't consider this unnatural position a handball. And that this was only the fifth worst decision of the day against us!

Mitoma getting wiped out in the box is fine with Attwell, Christ why did you bring this up again I’m raging now
