How do you account for the ball changing direction after Foden kicks it?

It doesn’t.

The ball generally tends to change direction after someone kicks it, it's called physics

They're all the same thing.

I thought that it was still a foul if the player making the tackle touched the ball first but didn't knock it out of playing distance from their opponent!
So even if the keeper touched the ball before Foden's foot and knocking him off balance, that was a penalty

@richardtheref can you confirm?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes , these days you can win the ball but if you go through the man, it tends to be a foul. However, last night, even if the keeper had not caught Foden, he certainly impeded him. Under the laws of the game you don't have to actually connect with your opponent for it to be a foul. How between all the officials they came to the conclusion there was no foul committed is baffling

My problem is with Moss, leaving the penalty out of it the rest of his performance was a disgrace.

I think we should also talk about the penalty he gave, a slight touch on the shoulder shouldn’t make a 6’8” centre half go full on Salah throwing his hands in the air, arching his back and flipping backwards A yellow card for simulation the correct call.

Again, just for the record, I am in "the keeper barely touched it but it WAS a penalty" camp. I don't think anyone on here is saying it wasn't a penalty.

Indeed,would you go as far as saying it was cheating or just bias against certain teams ..

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

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.

I can't believe you have imagined that.

Without any doubt they are trying their best or worst to stymie our march to the title.
