Ref Watch

The touch is there, it deviates slightly and it's the keepers touch but it's so fine he would not have even felt it. He got 99.8 Foden's foot and 0.2% of the ball.

Are you as blind as Madley? Watch the clip that has the magnified shot. The touch you speak of is FODEN'S. He nudges the ball away from the keeper, and is then hacked in the ankles. The keeper doesn't touch the ball whatsoever.

The keeper saves the pen and play goes on with Sevilla attacking goal then the ref stops play to have the pen retaken because VAR sees the GK moved off his line.

When did VAR start calling this decision?

Last season in the prem this call was still on the ref to make and not VAR.
 
For what it's worth, I thought there was a very slight touch of the ball by their keeper. You can see a slight deviation in the direction of the ball from at least one angle. It was after Foden kicked the ball.

But it is irrelevant. Nowhere in the Laws of the Game does it say a foul cannot be committed if a player touched the ball in the same action.

A foul is committed if a player kicks an opponent in a careless or reckless manner, or using excessive force. That foul definitely met those criteria, and it was a penalty.

All this 'did he touch the ball' nonsense is just obfuscation. As is the stuff about going to ground or staying down. A foul is a foul, independent of anything else.

In fact, by trying to stay on this feet, Foden definitely did the right thing. This is because he might have scored, and we wouldn't have needed the penalty, but if he didn't, the referee could have brought play back from the advantage that didn't accrue, and award a penalty anyway. This is what should have happened, giving us in effect two bites at the cherry.

See when Fernandinho early on where he dived it a bit but clearly got the ball. Moss gave a foul.
 
Everybody is getting somewhat irate about this, but hands up who reckons we would have scored the penner?!

compare this with that lamppost going down on a land mine when laporte touched his nipple and still only one replay from back.
Its not even subtle .

This is what pisses me off most, I’ve come to expect them looking for reasons not to give us a penalty, but it’s the blatant double standards they employ when officiating us, constantly giving the opposition free kicks etc but when the same’s done to us ? fuck all !

‘Employ’ or ‘enjoy’?
 
Even the referees' chat groups think it was an awful decision. "It's no wonder fans look at the no pen last night and assume that Stockley Park is a bit mad."

You'r totally choosing to ignore the clear fouls not given, the throw one x3 and corners X3 given the wrong way. And all against us. Incompetence would mean both sides were impacted. Corruption is clear.

The disparity in the way the game was officiated was blatant. Both teams were NOT refereed to the same standards.

The keeper got a very, very slight touch on the ball, so feint that even he wouldn't have felt it. It certainly wouldn't have impacted Foden's route to the goal but the contact on his foot definitely did.

Got nowhere near it! Phil got to the ball knocked it forward then McCarthy hit Phil's foot knocking him over. You need to go to SpecSavers

A sliding tackle needs to be perfect, even if a player gets a touch on the ball but takes the opponent out, or impedes his progress, its still a foul
This incident was as clear a foul as any you will see VAR Andy Madley should have insisted that Moss checked the monitor Moss was at fault but I could understand the possibility of him not giving it however for Madley to look at that exactly as we saw it first time on Tv and then have the possibility to use the tech at hand to not call it out is an absolute disgrace. Pro footballers, former Pro's, former refs and fans around the world have all said it was a foul the only ones who didnt were Moss Madley and there apologists

On a par with the worst decision I have ever seen that tonight. Level with the David Luiz non-red at the Etihad against Chelsea a few years back.

Cannot get my head around how VAR didn’t overturn it, their excuse is utter bollocks. Moss would have blown his whistle before Foden hit the turf if he had a red shirt on.

Ashley Young on Aguero has to be the ultimate?
