New rules, old rules, that's a blatant handball and penalty

Yeah that’s a definite peno whatever system you are using.

[Reece]

So did VAR actually review that and still not give it?

Yes, they reviewed it & deemed it not (intentional) handball..

[Fivex]

Saw someone say VAR actually reviewed the wrong incident and looked at one a couple of moments before that?

[S-RED]

they looked at both, the commentators on Sky were the ones bleating on about the 2nd one (which hit his chest)

Not intentional I would agree with, with the distance between the players, but I thought there was also a "natural silhouette" to consider as well, which is arms down and close to the body, not raised like that?

[S-RED]

its a clear pen for me, but thats where the confusion comes in to it, had the ref's been reversed & the pitch ref been the VAR & voice versa, i bet the decision would have been different. Either in game the ref would have given it & the VAR not overturned or the VAR simply overturned it......

thats why the current implementation is wrong

[baitman]

Thats a clear peno, the defender looks at the ball and puts his arm out, but then tucks his head away so at the moment of contact he looks like he is shielding himself.

That’s mad because by their own criteria that’s handball (hand in unnatural position).

Decisions like that just make it look like they were at the bookies pre match.

[Maxiedge]

Yeah that’s a peno. Got that wrong.

I’m still a big advocate of VAR. With it, we’d be in the next round of FA Cup and no need for this kerfuffle.

His hand position was the same as S£erlings natural hand positions, no?

[S-RED]

hahaha

[Exiled_red]

The two decisions in our game with Southampton were odd ones from VAR, surely Long(?) pulling down Bobby on the goal line when he would have a free header into an empty net is a clear pen. The Fabinho one on Ings is more subtle and it's not surprising the ref missed it in real time but I would really have expected VAR to give that as that too seemed fairly clear cut.

[McDermotX]

All is forgiven VAR.

This is why we need it
