Keeper doesn't get the ball and catches the man, definitely a pen. 

 

An actual good use of VAR there.

 

Where does he catch him? His standing foot? I can't see any contact like

Definitely didn't get the ball, slight contact with his hands and then again with his trailing leg.

 

Certainly wasn't a dive and a yellow like the initial decision.

He clips him on the right thigh where the badge on his shorts is. The ball meanwhile is already heading out.

Not convinced that's a penalty

Never a pen - refs in this league are terrible. Ruining the league.

As the GK leg comes up from diving, it's catches Adli on the thigh, a glancing blow. Adli was already on his way over.

Not every contact is a foul, and imo that is not a penalty.  It's a real, take it if it's given, fuming it was against you.

Exactly. Everyone seems to assume that any contact means a penalty.

VAR shouldn't really be used for turning non-pens into pens at all, really. It's almost always a massively disproportionate punishment relative to the infringement - which is fine, it's part of the game and always has been - but we don't need to manufacture it happening more frequently.

 

Overturning ones which are given incorrectly, sure. But then you're into the realms of choosing where to apply it and where not to, when the more consistent approach is to have it on either everything or nothing.

Half time comments from managers. WTF is this shit?! 
 

We’ll fully embrace our Yank audience soon. I can’t wait for the commercial timeouts and OVERTIME whenever there is a TIE GAME.

It’s a soft as fuck pen. But whether he is getting the ball or not is rarely factored in is it? Gordon has won a couple for us when the ball is going off, I think? 
 

Simeone against England in 98 :lol:
