This. I don't know what he's supposed to do with his arm, falling to the ground, but the decisions are such a pot of crap I can't point to a hard rule whyTo me it’s not a penalty but that particular rule has become such a farce I don’t even know why I don’t think it’s a penalty
Coincidentally, a Tierney decision.(see: Rodri on this ground)
I honestly don't know. I'd like to oppose it because it happened to my guy, but again it's just shrug-emoji. Just as if the opposition did it, I'd love to claim the handball but could I complain if it wasn't given? Might as well consult Magic 8-Ball.Like the rest of you I have no idea what is a handball penalty at this point. But generally speaking I think its better for fewer of them to be called, with the exception of handballs that directly impede a shot from flying into the goal, which seems plausibly the case on the Onana penalty.
The biggest problem isn't this kind of penalty being called, its when situations that would lead to a goal ~5% of the time start getting turned into an 85% likely chance to score based on the whims of the referees.
If you can do goal line technology to the millimeter.. why not do that for the full goal line as well?Looked out of play to me live, but I don't see how they can overturn with these angles.
maybe the goal posts are part of that technologyIf you can do goal line technology to the millimeter.. why not do that for the full goal line as well?
edit: I know it's play to the whistle, but the D looked like they stopped because they saw the ball was clearly out.
I mean it's ridiculous that a league as wealth as the EPL hasn't installed the system that they had for the world cup, but here we are.If you can do goal line technology to the millimeter.. why not do that for the full goal line as well?

Big fan of the ref calling a foul on arsenal for a completely clean challenge getting all ball and no player and yet letting the Saka foul go.Nice that the refs are quick to whistle when the ball goes out off Arsenal.. and don't see the need to call those pesky things like the foul on Saka
They don't. It was called in bounds live and they didn't overturn it.Wait how does VAR say that was still in?
Clearly out ???? If it was out it was by a millimetre … and if Arsenal stopped playing then that’s on them.If you can do goal line technology to the millimeter.. why not do that for the full goal line as well?

I wonder if they could put a camera facing the other way in that same goalpost?maybe the goal posts are part of that technology
His studs were something like 8" off the ground.. Problem for Jesus is he cries wolf so often.Lol, jumping slide tackle into an attacking player requires no more review.
How do you define a millimeter? And how do you know versus the people that were standing right there.. as opposed to you who have no clear angle to determine how far out it was given the camera angles..Clearly out ????

Bryan Gil to the rescueBrighton go 3-0 off a stunner from Estupinan. Spurs were sniffing close to a goal too, but that should do it for Brighton.
I mean just looking at the touchline angle, there's no way to tell if there's ball between Bowen's leg and the postHow do you define a millimeter?

But you could see the WestHam player’s foot as he kicked the ball - which gives you a pretty good idea of where the ball was. And the “people who were standing there” didn’t have any kind of angle either. Not saying it was in or out - just saying it was really close.How do you define a millimeter?

Efan or Graeme?The color announcer is starting to piss me off.
Is Crystal Palace his daddy?Another punchado for Pedro!
(there is a resemblance…)
Yeah.. I mean this angle to me actually shows the ball out.. but it's an angle you can't see the ball at all and you can see the full line. But you're right. To me it's how far his foot is out, but there's no angle that shows it clearly.I mean just looking at the touchline angle, there's no way to tell if there's ball between Bowen's leg and the post
Doesn't help that the Emirates grounds crew appear to have drawn a jagged touchline
