Pata Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Shocking decision. I was 100% certain it would never be a pen until the ref was called over. It’s a coming together ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Looking forward to see what they do next time a keeper come flying out in full speed crashing into a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It's absolutely ridiculous that the ref can look at that slow mo and give it. Pope blatantly touches the ball. Them repeating the replay at 1000x speed over and over to make it look more dangerous was scandalous too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigsawGoesToPieces Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Thats a pen like, Pope doesnt touch the ball at all Moronic from Pope he's more of a liability these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just now, JigsawGoesToPieces said: Thats a pen like, Pope doesnt touch the ball at all Moronic from Pope he's more of a liability these days There's no way you can tell whether he touches it or not. In the end they gave the pen for a reckless challenge to get away from having to justify it so that explanation is shite anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VAR even paused it with his hand on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 They gave it at first thinking Pope didn't touch it. When they realised he did, they changed their mind on the type of foul so the touch on the ball didn't matter. Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Commentary said they decided it was reckless eventually. Which meant playing the ball didn't matter. It was not reckless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref approaches Pope on the pitch after it’s given, Pope says I got the ball, ref replies ‘you didn’t, I’ve just seen it’. But he did. It’s not easy to see but he did touch the ball.

Newcastle Fan Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Regardless of wither Pope got the ball or not, as a GK he's entitled to go for it, it was a perfectly normal collision in the air, there is zero logic in looking at that and saying it's a foul/penalty, no one on the pitch thought it was but VAR decided lets give it anyway.

mattypnufc Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Every single game you see similar. Be interesting to see if any are given like that for the rest of the season. I highly doubt it. Useless cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergenMagpie Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Still cant understand how this was given. Who knows what game it would've been if Eze had scored. One of the worst decisions this season and it'll no doubt be swept under the carpet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 At the weekend VVD will once again go in leading with an elbow into someone’s face/neck and nothing will be given, and likely nothing even checked. Yet last night Pope goes for a ball that he’s entitled to do, and his opposite arm ever so slightly grazes the opposition player. It takes 7 minutes for VAR to somehow reason that it’s a penalty.

Wilson Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Couldn't see what happened from the other end of the pitch, got home expecting a proper travesty decision the way people were going on...obviously in the minority here but really don't have any issue with it being given.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I thought it was a penalty at the time and wish refs would give more penalties like that tbh. If a centre-back did that to a forward I doubt there'd be a debate. Keepers have been over-protected for far too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the balls path deviate by about 5-10% after he gets a hand to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Keepers get free-kicks for the smallest thing yet can come tearing our jumping with their knees at chest height for a cross for "protection" and it's deemed to be fine. Obviously there has to be a balance but I definitely thought it was a pen yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a penalty. The officials should be ashamed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
