Either pen would have been extremely soft and correct non-decisions IMO. Schär possible if it happened near the ball.

 

Soft pens are still pens as far as I understand the rules. Where is there room with VAR for deciding 'that's a bit soft, let's just leave it'?

Drury and beglin apparently.

 

 

It’s macmanaman and Fletcher for me

Will need Almirion's engine

[Holmesy]

Tony Adams’ justification for the Schar one not being a penalty is that it happens every week. Yes Tony, and it should be a penalty every week you fucking simpleton! 
 

[Novocastrian]

Willock tackling like Colback.

Alright, they shouldn’t have been pens.

[Rafalove]

Carla diBello is there

Needed it more in the first half tbh. He's not going to offer goal threat in the second half, whereas Fraser does when he comes on as a sub, especially when the game opens up. 

[Scoot]

Hopefully Miggy comes on in the second half. Full of energy etc...

[nufcnick]

If this is still 0-0 after 75 mins you can bet your arse that this bent cunt gives a pen and red card 

[Kid Icarus]

I never buy the whole expectations thing about Newcastle fans but then I do also wonder what some people expect from Arsenal away with the players we have, like. Especially considering it's 0-0, have hit the bar, could have arguably had a pen, and the ref's been shit. We're not playing like we did against Brentford of course, but there's a time and a place.

Our shape hasn't been bad but do worry about Ritchie. We've not had that much of the ball, and I expected we would have more attacking moments but certainly 0-0 at half time is okay.

[RodneyCisse]

Have we been robbed of a pen?

[Stifler]

Is that the 1st foul given for us?

I thought the directive now was that if it hits the hand and diverts the ball - which it did - it has to be given. 

Ah if the rules have changed then fair enough. I've oaid next to no attention to football for like 2 year

That’s exactly what they have been doing this season and it’s 100% the correct way. Been so much better than the previous two seasons when VAR was giving penalties for every slightest contact that were never worth 0.8xG.

We have been fine. Would have expected a touch more composure in possession but that's it really.

[Anderson]

Krafth ffs, senseless. 

[Unbelievable]

Kraft

[nufcnick]

Good foul to make that 

[Guybrush]

That kid is back man! Is it bring your kid to work day for the camera crew or something?

[Wilson]

Arteta giving the fake card on the sideline, prick.

[Hanshithispantz]

Both our fullbacks on yellows is worrying like 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

There’s that beautiful moment when cheese slice is given a yellow card.

[Smal]

Just a shoulder barge really.
