Aston Villa vs Liverpool - Premier League (19/20 - Game 11)

[baitman]

I thought arms up = un-natural = pen

Id say the only reason a player can raise an arm is to protect their face or plumbs.

Thought it would have been harsh at the time, but the more I look at the loop of it, that movement of the arm just before AOC strikes it is at least an instinctive effort to provide a bigger shield, if not intentional.
This season you frequently see defenders moving their arms behind their backs as shots come in......not so in this case.

Still.....VAR is great, isnt it ?

Harsh doesn't figure in the new rules. Hits arm or doesn't hit arm is the only criteria

Actually it's unnatural silhouette of the body.

And if it comes off your body and hits the arm, that's OK to (post last season), as long as there's no movement of the arm towards the ball of course.

Refs are slow at taking up new rules in this country. Muscle memory one hopes. Like I said earlier, in Europe its stonewall, in this country, I've no idea.

You could be a PL referee then

Taking out the instances you mention where it wouldn't be handball, this was handball

Yes, I agree.

Thankfully we won or this conversation would have went around in circles a dozen or a hundred times.

Love it that Guardiola is rattled enough to make a jibe about Mane's 'dive'

****ing love it

My friends tried to use the VAR screen to prove to me it was offside when I sulked about it. I recall someone here saying the red line looked wonky so I tossed it up in photoshop and used a little straightening tool to check. Yeah, its def wonky. How is this allowed.

Tweet it to linekar. Andy gray and the FA.

Why is the only angle being discussed one that is open to interpretation? Surely there's a photo out there more square to the action

Can't get enough of this ****!

Mane walked over to take the last free kick before the final whistle. He looked up to loud chants of Divock Origi, who had won the free kick. When the chant ended there was no Mane chant.

Or even one with the player kicking the ball in it.

A naked eye can tell that it was not straight. Im an Architect, i look at lines on a screen/paper all day long and i can spot a crooked line a mile away. That one is not even close to being striaght. The photoshop job makes it super clear.
