McDog Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Just now, Nobody said: I don't really think that was a penalty, but also once it's been given it has to stand. It's an absolute shambles that VAR goes in and changes it; there are two clear shirt pulls on Young. It's not 'clear and obvious' neither, as the ref needs loads of time to decide, and he's not even given the best angles to support his initial decision. They did pull his shirt but unless you are the incredible hulk you don't lift him 3 feet off the ground like he was sent. edit: I guess that is the crux of it. Was the pen given because his shirt was pulled or because he was thrust airbourne? Edited February 22 by McDog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They inherently favour the so called top clubs. They are sycophants. At their ground last year this wasn't even reviewed by VAR and was just swept under the carpet. A few days later they them said VAR was right not to intervene! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Young is a cheating git but the referee had a clear view of it in real time and it shouldn’t have been overturned no matter how bad the dive was. No idea how low the high bar for overturning a decision now is. Remember when Longstaff nearly exchanged shirts at Wolves 2 or 3 years ago and it was deemed fair.

That would indicate it was him flying though the air, not the shirt pull. Look I would have been more than happy with as penalty but that was a dive.

Like Joelinton's clear handball against Spurs for Gordon's equaliser? Spurs are one of the "cartel clubs" right? Wasn't there a handball from Livramento in the same game as well? They were very easy decisions to give to Spurs if they were favouring them, but they weren't. Obviously. Everyone gets decisions for and against them. There's no bias.

It was never a pen, so I was buzzing that they didn't give it. I was shocked it was overturned though. Young only has himself to blame as well.

Regardless of whether it was or not, my point is that it could easily be given if there was any favouritism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) If anything, you could argue that the controversy over the Joelinton ball to hand was manufactured precisely because it was against one of the 'big 6' clubs. No one in their right mind thought that was a handball. The controversy doesn't even need to be help those clubs, it can be to drive the conversation which = £, but the end result still looks more or less the same.

I don't think the big 6 getting favourable treatment is a widespread opinion for lack of evidence though, at the very least the discussion around decisions is ramped up when it involves those clubs and has the same outcome as if it were to deliberately put pressure on officials.
