Premier League Games 4/5/6 January 2025

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He was saying what the rule was last year wasn’t he rather than what it is now?

Maybe, but it’s not helpful, is it?

Joelinton again...snidey forearm to the head.

Another Joelinton foul

 

[.db.]

Has Dan Burn died his hair ginger?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I’d be surprised if there isn’t a red card in this match.

This is why I mentioned the commentator chatting nonsense. This take is wrong. An accidental handball in the run up to the goal, not made by the scorer, will not effect the outcome of the goal and it would be allowed.

I find it maddening that these clowns and so called experts can’t even be arsed to read the basic rules.

Not in the way he did it no, but explaining the difference in rules from last season to this season could have been if he did it properly!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This spurs side playing a Keegan side would be an interesting watch!

 

[wattle]

Definitely the worst ref EVER in the prem and that’s an achievement

 

[jollylescott]

Joelinton has the look of a thug. The sneaky elbow to the back of the head was straight out of the thug playbook.

 

[Norbert D]

Joelinton again...snidey forearm to the head.

He’s allowed ten a game, twenty against City.

By the LOTG, Llorente’s was not handball.

It hit his arm and then his thigh and went in. It didn’t go straight in the net off the arm.

Even though the ref said some weird stuff about it afterwards, it was legitimately a goal.

Given the laws at the time, the decision could have gone either way with that one.

My understanding of the law is that if the ball goes in off the scorers arm (intentional or not), the goal is disallowed. Not a team mate's arm, if it's deemed not to be intentional. Which it clearly wasn't, in today's case.

Believe thats correct, give it about 20 minutes though and it will probably have changed again

 

[MCFC1993]

Dan Burn should be off no?

Deliberate handball.

Maybe saved with it being higher up but the ref still give it.

 

[bridgeno1]

Ref's a geordie

 

[Beanhead]

How the absolute fuck is that not a second yellow?

 

[citytill1die84]

Wow Newcastle getting the rub of the green here.
