It was a clear penalty
Any referee would agree
He fouled Sane on the 'second phase'
Yes he touched the ball but cleaned Sane out, PENALTY
The key point is that the referee cannot have spotted that in real time so he either chose to ignore what he thought was a foul and penalty or somebody watching the replay on screen told him via the comms it wasn't a pen.... I'll go with the former... he chose not to give it as he wasn't sure or because it's City
Jesus wept man, you're incredible.so why doesn't sane appeal then and why does he say it wasn't a penalty?
i couldn't care less as in my view it aint a penalty and neither is it in sane's view or they refs at the time.......people need to get over the ref stuff on here...mistakes are made ( id not think this was one) and thats what makes the game exciting as there is sometimes human error.
You don't know Sane would have still got the ball either...you presume
And after seeing numerous replays (summat the ref hasnt got the luxury of) I still say he made the right decision , the keeper does get a slight touch on the ball and the combination of that and Sanes touch changes the direction of the ball , which no doubt made up the refs mindany ref....... except the one on the pitch.... !!!!
thats all that maters....
People on here love to have the excuse of the ref...it happens even before a ball is kicked. its like a protection mechanism that kicks in even days before the game...people start "betting" on certain ref's giving dodgy decisions and saying its why we might lose/or not win. They do this cause its easier/nicer/safer to make an excuse and get that excuse in so they can then hark back to it and say "i told you so" instead of admitting at those times that the team just wasn't good enough on that one occasion (which some never can)....that is a hard thing to do for some and impossible for a few...
Of course wrong decisions can be made and are made but thats the beauty of the game....its still open to human error and its a small part of why its so exciting....
Like i also said in reply to someone else...the keeper gets a touch and because its a keeper it aint a foul (if an outfield player had done it it probably would have been a foul) but keepers get a different set of "rules" (unwritten) as well.
People just need to man up a bit on this subject and accept its part of the game.

Agree on tackling , how many times recently have you seen someone make a great tackle winning the ball for the ref to blow for a foul ? and then for the pundits to say " he may have won the ball but he made contact on the follow through"i think he made right decision as well but thats the beauty of football isn't it...its why its so exciting.
I do think there should be more physical contact allowed in the game however....i think its got a bit ridiculous as you can barely tackle any more
