Scandalous decision. If you allow this to be a pen, pretty soon you are going to have attackers purposely trying to lift the ball into the hands of defenders from point blank range to win pens. Completely goes against the spirit and integrity of the game and just plain common sense. Common sense isn’t so common I suppose…
Also have about 2 PSG players in the box/D when he hits it. Should have retaken it.
Time to act like a geordie and make up 45 reasons why this was a Penalty 🙂
So unfair, but then being owned by a state is also unfair in the larger context
Same situation refereed completely differently by the VAR in the same game. The ref shouldn’t even have had to take a look at the Tino one because the outcome should have been no penalty after a couple of reviews.
Qatar gets a dodgy call versus Saudi Arabia. Oh no… Anyway
this is one of the worst referee decisions I’ve ever seen! What the hell is the point of VAR when you have multiple angles showing the ball came off the chest? what is the argument here? that the arms were extended? criminal if I must say.
I agree that this pen is a terrible decision, but saying its one of the worst you’ve seen? Did you start watching football 2 days ago? Atleast the ball undeniably hits his arm, so there is at the very least some sort of rationale you can give for why its a pen. We have seen soo many other decisions, just this season alone, where there is just no rationale for the decision whatsoever. While this decision is bad, it is not even close to the worst we have seen this season
in the heat of the moment I did say it’s one of the worst ever, which I do take back lol, but it is a shitty one.
And this is why the beautiful game has become a joke
A player being punished for that especially after the ref sees the video
like OK man just flip a coin next time, what’s the point?
Never a pen but I guess you have to just accept the refs decision and move on. Surely Eddie Howe agrees.
Only way that’s a penalty is if you’re playing against Wolves in the prem
Dude the ball is traveling away from the goal, it’s close range, goes off his chest first…what the absolute hell!? Soccer has been so shite this year for refs.
vell dun boyz, dobra procez
Defender clearly used his hand as a weapon to attack the ball, good process boys
VAR=… various Arabic royalties?
Can’t wait for the Worldnews update, SA invades Qatar
