Toon No9 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Just now, El Prontonise said: It was outside the box for starters in the first half. No, it wasn't. The ref even checked with the var-guys and said no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludicrous. VAR can fuck right off and the ref can too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Literally made up new rules to give that pen. Obvious deflection from his body, and how is that an obvious error in the first place that needs intervention. Has there actually been an incident when the ref has stuck with his original decision after a crappy var call.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Another thing to note, if accidental handballs are given then Skriniar should have been off. EDIT: giggs Edited November 28, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Tbh the deflection is completely irrelevant. Deflection or not it's accidental handball so should only penalised if the player: "touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised" - https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/fouls-and-misconduct/#direct-free-kick I think his arm is in a perfectly normal position considering he's running, arms do go up and down then, but that's why it was judged a foul. Pretty bad decision for me, but then I am quite biased! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Felt like it wasn't even going to be reviewed until all the PSG players circled the ref. Not sure why only Ramos got a yellow. They were all as bad as each other. Edited November 28, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Maybe I'm imagining it but did the ref stop a continuation of play for one of the other penalty calls for VAR to confirm it wasn't just because there were so many PSG players surrounding him?

"I was told it was best for the product to have the best player in the world part of the latter stages of the cup, so should make the decision in PSGs favor" doesn't sound so nice when it is said out loud, in public.
