Ref Watch

[Coljj]

I’ve watched this clip for countless time zoomed in and I still can’t see any touch from his studs. His studs was no where near the ball or fodens foot . Pause at :03 second clip . when foden touched the ball , keeper foot is more then 6 inches away . The only deviation is after foden touch and hits a lump of grass.

You've got to look closer at the spin on the ball than for a foot making contact with it. As stated previously it's a touch that's so fine McCarthy wouldn't have even felt it himself but you can bet he felt his foot go into Foden's.

after your post with the twitter vids on(are they even called that) i watched both over and over again, i dont see any change in direction, all i can see it the keepers studs slide into fodens foot, even if he did get a slight touch on the ball then it is still a penalty for following through surely, anyway, we all have our own opinions, luckily it didn't affect the result and i hope your hangover wasnt too severe :)

Haha. I've not touched a drop of alcohol in my 59 years.

I only put the vids up because a previous poster was also of the opinion that their goalkeeper got a slight touch on the ball. I would say that the sequence was Foden kicks the ball forward, Macarthy kicks Foden, and fractionally after that, he touches the ball. The timing of all three would be about one tenth of a second, and the touch on the ball is almost imperceptible.

It is just a matter of opinion though. Whilst not everyone's eyes are as sharp as mine and @Coljj's at least we can all agree it was a penalty.

I think my hatred of refs all stems from playing liverpool and George Courtney.

And Alf Grey

You need to show us a still which shows him touching the ball mate.

He can’t, because he didn’t. Foden nicked the ball, not McCarthy.

You're on the wind up, got to be!

Having the ref and VAR not award the penalty might be a good thing (unless we lose the league by 1 goal of course!!!) The whole world can look at that blatant foul and realise that something must be going on. How fucking stupid and/or corrupt has this made them look?

So Andy Madley is Bobby Madley's brother. Clearly poor eyesight and/or stupidity runs in the family.

Corruptness more like

I can't believe people can't see that Macarthy got a touch on the ball. Look at those two clips again, and look only at the ball. You can clearly see the ball take a slight change in direction after Foden kicks it forward. It is as plain as day. In the clip from behind, you can see the ball ultimately goes at a tangent to the direction Foden kicks it.

Not read all the posts but a great deal of support from the media,I wonder how they would of reacted if it was sterling and not foden.
