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 after this pile of shit now is probably a good time to start.

How many of us believe this rubbish that Phil would have got the penalty if he had gone down, screamed, clutched his lag and rolled around? The penalty was not given for one simple reason - at 1-1 City were not going to get a penalty for ANY reason.

Let's look on the bright side, at least he didn't get booked for diving.

Whereas I am sure that if our 'keepr had fouled a Southampton player in a similar way in which Foden was fouled, the ON FIELD ref would have immediately pointed to the spot and then VAR would have agreed with him.

There's a huge difference between your and my views.

You misunderstood what I was saying, we were actually in agreement ;-)

"my problem isn't with moss, he might not of had a decent view of it"...so why did he tell stockley park that he "thought" Mcarthy got a touch on the ball ? even worse var took very little time looking for a clear and obvious error

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

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’ve seen it many times. Foden nicks the ball away, the keeper catches Fodens left foot. Nowhere near the ball.

They get started by know-nothing commentators coming out with the nonsense that he got a touch on the ball. So what? The ball is still in Foden's control and he was fouled and therefore lost a goalscoring opportunity. Rather like he felt a touch so had every right to go down when in reality he does not have the right as the touch was not enough to impede him never rmind make him fall like a starfish.

Brilliant point!

“Felt the contact and went down” is used ALL THE TIME!

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

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 ..

I can't believe you have imagined that.
