Watch Ramsdale when the ref walks over to the monitor to review our penalty shout....
And he still scoredLove it if the arse get a pen next game at that end and the grounds still fucked and they slip on their arse and miss the cheating bastard!
kdb : guys we need to recycle these plastic bottles.
Agreed, esp re AtwellJust watched the match again, thought we played some great stuff in both halves, Cancelo was really brave to play after what has happened to him and his family. What strikes me about this game is the way the arse players moaned about every decision, even, maybe especially when it went in their favour! We were a bit asleep for their goal but apart from that I thought we defended really well with Ake and Ruben the pick of our defenders. The arse fans were well up for this game and I though Atwell was gonna bend to that, but I would say its the best refereeing I think I've seen for quite some time. Overall it was a close game but even though we looked a bit tired we were the better team.

At least MotD accepted the decisions.The application of VAR still isn't perfect but has definitely improved this season. It's making a positive difference this season.
Even the match commentators agreed that the penalty decisions were correct at the time and then gradually changed their opinions as the situation of the match developed. This paved the way for BT Sport and most of the press to make the whole narrative about VAR when actually every decision was correct. In the first half, Mcmanaman and Keown both said that the "clear and obvious" rule is a good thing as it allows the referee more control over the game. Then by the second half their views had miraculously changed.
Watching the replay, it's obvious that Odegaard planted his foot into Ederson's path in order to instigate the contact. Odegaard knows his best bet is to look for a pen at that stage. Ederson's foot is about to take the ball cleanly before Odegaard's foot goes in front of the ball as he does so. Ederson then makes contact with the ball and player at the same time.
As for the Silva penalty, there's contact but he does perhaps make the most of the first challenge as most players would but the clincher was the shirt pull which was "clear and obvious." Without the shirt pull it would probably not have been given as a pen.
There's an obvious distinction between both incidents which the commentators noted at the time but the coverage has chosen to ignore since in order to suit their chosen narrative.
I know Gabriel was booked for doing this, but was Ramsdale also booked?
Blimey, so they both 'got away with it' - I'm not a fan of retrospective punishment, God knows we have had it done to us in the past, but this sort of shitehousery needs looking at. Gits.Gabriel wasn't booked for that, he was booked for dissent.
Ramsdale was not booked.
Think they said he was booked for descent and not churning penalty spotI know Gabriel was booked for doing this, but was Ramsdale also booked?

Yes you're right - just watched this again and he walks leisurely back after Laporte's header has lobbed himI thought this when I watched it back. He’ll get a bollocking for that I reckon he totally switched off!
We don't come down to that level.Think they said he was booked for descent and not churning penalty spot
