Was that the one when Matip was on the ground?

Yeah, he headed it onto his arm, therefore it isn’t a penalty.

“After you, Sir” — Joao

I think we would be furious if that wasn’t given at the other end to be honest

We ARE furious that we 1) weren't given a penalty 2) haven't even been shown a bloody replay of the incident!

 

[SidJames]

Do you have arms?

He wasn’t thinking anything, he was jumping for a block, his hands naturally came out a bit to balance him and he got incredibly unlucky that Nunez missed his header so badly it hit his hand.

You really arguing about that penalty bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I've never come to dislike a player after leaving us outside of Milner. It's weird.

 

[simon23]

its soft but its a handball

nothing dias cn do about it but thats the rules and its the rules that are wrong not the ref's interpritation of it....

Handball for me and alwys should be about intentional and deliberate....

No one jumps with their hands by their side so its natural for it to happen ...which again is why the rules should be changed..

 

[Ilovehappyendings]

Bit of indignation to fire us up for the season.

 

[madloaf]

New season, same old agenda.

 

[bondsman]

I’d want a pen for that tbf but the header wasn’t even on target

 

[lust overlord]

Meh.

Not in the least bit arsed win lose or draw.
Deflected goal and a lucky penalty.
Even game overall.
