Correct.
The penalty was a pen this season, last season and 5 seasons before that.
The ball travelled a fair distance and even though his arm was in a natural position he had plenty of time to get out the way and it stopped the cross coming in.

Don’t let Neville and carragher fool you in to thinking it was one of the dubious handballs we’ve seen this season

we’re now hearing the excuses that Kev “kicked it too hard” and apparently it’s the first time a ref has looked at a replay in slow-mo.

it was a nailed on pen. But he missed.

Agree. Made sure he was in the way and then made out he was trying to get his arm out of the way.

Perversely its the players who are killing football.
They must practice these dives and rolls in training with the blessing of their managers

I absolutely agree! However, their short term rewards go hand in hand with their short term careers, whilst the long term future of the sport withers in the eyes of those who cherish it.

More of my thoughts on this in the

“£$€¥ The business of football”

thread.

Agreed & Agreed....he was doing the Scouse “Hey Hey Hey Ya Wha” walk, you know the one, it might be a natural position for a scally to have his arm/hand but not anyone else, it should also be noted that he was stopping as he’d narrowed the angle on the cross & felt like he was in a good position to block it whilst also moving towards the ball when Kev crossed it. For clarity it would be interesting to know if Spitty & Ratty thought it was a pen if say for instance that was a dead-ball situation
