Oh did he now? I take it you've asked him then? ...

Yes I did. We had a lovely chat in German.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Yes I did.

I'm sure you did. And it doesn't matter what Sane thought happened. The fact is it wasn't a penalty.

I know and he thought the same. It's also my opinion that I can fully understand why it was not given.

So me, you and Sane all agree it wasn't a penalty then! Excellent!

You are catching up fast pal. Personally I am not 100 percent either way and that is after deliberation, videos from all angles and slow-mos so I can hardly criticise the ref for not being sure and so not giving it. So if the ref, like me, was not sure he was right not to give it.

Das war kein Elfmeter, mensch!

Anyone who says it's a penalty is a deluded fool who are incapable of rational thought.

Looks like I am a deluded fool who is incapable of rational thought. If the keeper touched it then the touch was so slight that the ref couldn't possibly have seen it to give a corner. He guessed the decision and got it wrong

Well in that case you are. Doesn't matter what the ref thought he saw. Fact is video shows keeper took ball and didn't touch man therefore no penalty. Not rocket science.

You're very confusing. Perhaps you don't have a great command of English that's why it's not clear what you're saying or why you're saying it. I hope Leroy understands you. You're obviously very close.

Quite simply from all the angles, slow-motion replays I cannot say with any certainty it was a pen so therefore in my opinion it's not a pen. If the ref viewed it the same way, he was unsure, he made the correct decision to not award it.
