[SweatyMexican]

Fantastic strike.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Get In !

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Huge cheer from neighbours when that went in.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Poss handball. Here comes VAR

 

[KZNSeagull]

Penalty to France.

 

[Eric Potts]

Soft

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Sort of clear and not really obvious

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Pity he didn't get told to look at France's dive, merde

 

[del strangefish]

Pah!

 

[Hampster Gull]

Nonsense penalty

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Damn

 

[KZNSeagull]

2-1 France. Not sure it was entirely deliberate, but hand went to ball and it did stop the ball going across the goal, so I think penalty was right

 

[Deadly Danson]

Never in a million years a clear and obvious mistake. Thank God it wasn't us in the final, I think I would have been apoplectic.

Nonsense penalty

Moved his hand to the flight of the ball. Hardly nonsense.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Thought it was a pen, didnt at first but it was the flick out that did it.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

His other arm was also coming down, it's what arms do!

 

[Deadly Danson]

And the fact that we are all offering different interpretations means it's NO penalty because it's not clear and obvious.

Did the ref see it? No.

Did it hit the hand? Yes

Did the hand move to the ball? Yes

If you agree with those three, how is it not a mistake that the penalty wasn't given at first?

I don't agree it was deliberate.

 

[LVGull]

It wasn't a clear and obvious error by the ref I guess.

But the penalty was? He had to double dip?
