The slow mo zoomed in 6 second clip just looks like upper arm to me
I agree that the normal speed broadcast image looks like hands.

What I haven't seen is a zoomed in full length clip that shows before and after the tweeted slow mo does.

Weird, eh ;)

That’s surely after contact was made as in the other footage you can see him push his hands forward to the ball, saves it and then deflects past his shoulder. In that you just see the recoil and is purposely disrupting reality.

That begs the question, why are they trying to hide it?

The question is, what does his right arm do in the following second after this clip stops? ;)

They’ve found one inconclusive clip that tries to distract the attention from the real footage where you see him try to push the ball away which ends up j that position.

Didn’t think our players appealed enough for the handball as soon as it happened

Agree, but when they do its used as an opportunity by refs to dish out cards like confetti

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

The same way sufficient attention was brought to how rigged the refs were:

1. Giving Aguero a yellow instead of a Pen vs Monaco
2. Offsides vs Liverpool
3. Ignoring Llorente handball vs Spurs
4. Ignoring foul on Laporte vs Lyon
5. Ignoring Rudiger's violent foul on KDB
6. Giving a pen on Laporte when his hand is in a natural position when jumping?

I like myself some good bourbon but I'd like to know what you're drinking since that's some real good stuff there!

Clearly rigged against us for us to fail!

I remember one at Hoffenheim where a Goal was disallowed for taking a throw in from the wrong place.

The clearest penalty I have seen in years. If he had caught it, bounced it and booted it upfield it still wouldn’t have been given.

Up there with the Alexander Arnold one at Anfield - which we also didn’t get.

There was also the time a City player was running alongside an opposition player in possession, that player just stopped running and elbowed the City player in the face, under the noses of the officials. The commentators were once again shocked that no action was taken?

I think there were two handball incidents and a shove in the back on a City player in the box, none of those decisions given in City's favour.

 

[lasereyes]

And you think var improves that situation? It only makes the decision making process more opaque. Referees dither and var backs them up under their definition of what is clear and obvious. Do you think we’re refereed more fairly pre or post var?

I'm not saying VAR has or hasnt improved. Was responding to your statement that before, "fans accepted decisions and moved on".

Blind Pew Marriner for Brissol game and no VAR.

Oh right, fair enough. I’d still say it was easier to move on, when you could vent your spleen at one man. Feels like we’re taking on the establishment now.

Yep another game we be kicked fouled and he plays on

Was this referred to VAR....if not, what explanation has been given and by whom ?

If it was referred, what explanation has been given for the double hand ball not being awarded.

Has the referee been asked why he didn’t award a penalty in real time and what was his explanation.

This incident is shrouded in mystery and needs to be kept in the spotlight and subject to forensic scrutiny.

Would a penalty have been given if it was Madrid in the last minute ??

Lol. Mariner has been the ‘go to man’ for sometime for a good old FA stitch up.

Future head of the PiGMOL if he continues to toe the line.

How?

We used to call that "climbing" when I played (so long ago now), but it's probably not specifically referenced in the stupidly written, loophole riddled laws of the game now-a-days, and we all know how they like a law loophole when City are playing.

He leaps well, but he stays up there because he's using Dias as a vaulting horse, subsequently Dias can't get off the ground to even attempt a header due to the fact that he's got a 15 stone bloke on his back!

VAR? Nah, that's not really used in City's favour if they can help it.

Corrupt as fuck!

Some have said he did it on the way down after he headed it. Personally it looked a foul in real time and on replay it looks a foul. Could be another one of those “it’s not an obvious error” on the part of the onfield ref so VAR does not intervene.

Apparently not looked at by VAR as the on-field ref didn't "ask them" to look at it ??????????????

Since when did VAR need authorisation to look at a possible penalty?
I thought they routinely looked at all incidents of this nature and didn't need permission!

More made up bullshit from UEFA, but we've just got to suck it up, apparently :(

That frame is before he headed it.
