Bernardo penalty debate - no case to answer.

[blue b4 the moon]

Can't see a thread but led by talkragshite the FA are looking at it later today.

90% of players spoken to and that includes talkragshite patsies agree it was a pen.

The agenda will raise its head if he gets banned, his foot was under the keepers knee but apparently he fell too well.

they review every penalty decision automatically, they'l review this one and conclude that it wasn't a dive, simple

Pure deflection away from the rag result,it was a pen, the end

 

[Rammyblues]

If even Phil the rag on MOTD said technically a penalty but exagerated then it was a penalty irrespective of the has been refs etc who are obviously still employed by the rag PR dept. Fuck off the lot of them.

Yeah they look at all penalties fella. I wouldn’t worry too much. Everyone on match of the day said penalty as well.

His ankle was trapped.

If he exaggerated the fall it was only to draw attention to it.

Will they be 'looking at' Kane's dive yesterday, or Ali's or the 3 or 4 others i saw in various games??

Kane and Alli are the most blatant and frequent divers in the Premier League. Along with Herrera.

Plus Phil Neville and Jenas said it was a penalty on MOTD. Plenty more have also said it was a penalty.

Pope rushes out makes contact and forces Bernardo's ankle into eversion/pronation, we're lucky he's not injured. At worst he exaggerates his fall but it was still a penalty and we've seen what happens if you're honest and try to stay on your feet; Sterling pen not given vs Spurs last season, Jay Rodriguez not given a pen vs Arsenal the other week etc...

Is the correct answer.

It's the same as the "UEFA are looking at City's FFP" a month or so ago, following Chelsea being named for something. Automatic process, not an event.
