Premier League ( midweek ) Games 2/3/4 March

[LongsightM13]

Yes and Bale. Those two fit and fully committed along with Kane and Son make for a much tougher game. Almost two months yet though

Both hauled off, pitiful in the second half

 

[Don Karleone]

It is handball, ridiculous law. But 100% handball.

We all may as well pack up and go home then.

Genuinely one of the worst decisions I've seen.

 

[bluesmith]

We complain about VAR decisions but that one is up there with the Bamford finger pointing offside earlier this season.

It was 100% the right decision by VAR.

It is an offence if a player:

• deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball
• scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
• after the ball has touched their or a team-mate’s hand/arm, even if accidental, immediately:
  • scores in the opponents’ goal
  • creates a goal-scoring opportunity

 

[jimharri]

Absolute disgraceful decision and I don’t gucking care about the ‘rules’!! Guck all he could do to not happen. Defenders might as well just kick it at hands or arms as they can’t concede from it.

Don't talk gucking nonsense.

Genuinely one of the worst decisions I've seen.

It was the right decision though!

 

[lefty goldblatt]

WTF.???

IT WAS CORRECT

 

[Xhavenjoe]

It was 100% the right decision by VAR.

Whether its VAR or the ruling its still ridiculous.

 

[Don Karleone]

Okay, it's correct by the letter of the law but come on, it's a bullshit law.

 

[bluesmith]

Whether its VAR or the ruling its still ridiculous.

The law is ridiculous, but don't blame VAR for applying the correct laws!

 

[Gray]

It was the right decision though!

As the laws/rules stand at present, but it doesn’t seem sensible so the laws/rules should be adjusted to take into account these incidents.

 

[Don Karleone]

The state of that

 

[kaz7]

The state of that

Hmmm wonder why they give that in one game but arm out and clearly hit not given

Pigmol have fucked the beautiful game right up

 

[Xhavenjoe]

As the laws/rules stand at present, but it doesn’t seem sensible so the laws/rules should be adjusted to take into account these incidents.

If the Fulham player had his hand up in the air in an unnatural position it would have hit his side and goal allowed.
Because it was where its meant to be the goal is disallowed.

 

[deano ou812]

The state of that

That happens on Sunday in our game it’ll be given if it’s for the rags ..

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Genuine question. If Fulham passed it around the box a few times after the handball would it still have been disallowed?

 

[Impeccable One]

Areola just nip’d in to save from Kane

 

[Gray]

Does anybody else find most of the football on offer as complete pants?

 

[bluesmith]

Genuine question. If Fulham passed it around the box a few times after the handball would it still have disallowed?

Possibly not. Would depend if they classed it as the same phase of play. Its got so many flaws to the law, the biggest one being if it was the other way round and the attacker hit the defenders hands it would not be a pen.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Does anybody else find most of the football on offer as complete pants?

Yes, and its mostly from top teams that have l the shitter football

 

[ninjamonkey]

That Chelsea lineup doesn't have much going forward on paper, a back 5 and Kante and jorginho. hopefully Tuchel's tactics do Liverpool
