Premier League 2023/2024

They got it right but the ref needs to book multiple city players there. Ridiculous reaction.

Tbf I thought it was the best appeal I've ever seen ha

 

[wspur]

Very very lucky city to be awarded that pen

It’s the inconsistency. The one Odegaard got away with the other day was far more deliberate than that.

But in this case the arm is high above the body and the ball hits it. I don't get why some say this is a nonsense decision.

Ødegaard got away with it big time but you (not you specifically) can't argue this isn't one.

 

[Mr Pink]

Dysche reacts to late...should of made the changes 5 minutes ago...pressure was too much

 

[Kirito]

Pickford is so shit at pens. Doesn't bode well for the Euros.

Russia have got more chance of winning than a Southgate team

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Unrelated to the Pen, but I am glad we never went for Pickford. Way too emotional - even by GK standards.

It's a pen by the law, but the law is a mess.

It's a pen by the law, but the law is a mess.

The ball hitting an arm that's raised above the body has always been a penalty and always will continue to be. It's the one consistent part of the handball law.

I’ve seen more than one incident just like the one tonight this season where penalties were not given.

The explanation being that the defender was too close to the attacker striking the ball.

The handball law is too vague, and as such the refs are wildly inconsistent with it.

Maybe. But not in this case. He made his body bigger and the ball struck his arm. There won’t be many more obvious pens.

Two years ago it was too complex and detailed. Now it's too vague? They can't win.

 

[philll]

The commentator just said Grealish has "just gone through a spell of hitting the floor". By "a spell" does he mean his entire playing career? Throwing himself to the ground is like half of his game.

 

[spurmin]

If that was Romero!!!

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

That was worse than Romero’s…

 

[mano-obe]

They have been awarded some of the softest penalties this season City. Two players falling down when a defender had hands on their players in previous games and now this.

I suppose the red Scousers on Rawk will continue their conspiracy theories about man city getting favourable decisions

Nah, he was falling backwards and his arm was in a natural position, plus he was about 1 yard away.

If his arms were out to the side, or he wasn't in the process of falling backwards with his slide, or the city player was 5+ yards away, I'd agree, but there's no way IMO the Everton player was thinking he'd stop it with his hand

 

[wspur]

Everton are getting really dirty, scum

Booooooooooooo

 

[TheChosenOne]

Everton are getting really dirty, scum

Tarkowski could have had three yellows in the last 10/12 minutes

 

[mightyspur]

Classic Pickford right there
