Not sure why walton has a monitor link with Eufa. Remove that link and any other links that do not apply to VAR officials remove possibility of outside influences.

That was a very strange thing for him to say, and that I've not heard anyone say beforehand.

So some 12 hours later, it's as clear as dirty mud, fuck off it's handball,as good a save as their keeper made all night.

Defo hits his arm.

Only thing that saves him is arms are tucked in.
Stuff like that was constantly given at W.C.
I suspect had it been the other end it would have been too

Whether it’s a penalty or not is kind of irrelevant now, but the fact VAR didn’t even look at it is just another example of the whatthefuckery that we see practically every game now.

Just so I’m getting this right, all the angles which show handball are the ‘optical illusions’, and the one inconclusive one that shows it may not have, is the correct one ?

Hits top of forearm .. maybe arms were pushing out and not pulled towards body...that's what you don't see from 2nd angle . If they are pushing out it's a pen end of.
Saw those given at W.C...one similar in final too I think..?
Was it reviewed? Pep said it was so I don't have a fucking scooby which is half the problem! The seemingly arbitrary use of VAR when it suits them!

I wouldn't be surprised to find out, they had doctored the video footage to suit there own misgivings.
After all it did take 2 hours to appear.

Yes you are correct but I would add, all the commentators, pundits and assorted media are wrong apart from BT who waited until everyone went to bed to tell us why they are wrong.

If the handball had gone to VAR would they have waited two hours for an inconclusive angle or just shown a couple of angles like they did for us against Spurs. More worryingly is why didn't VAR review this incident and their goal.
