Watch any game of football and 90% of defenders put both arms behind their backs once they square up in the penalty area. Micah Richards did it every time.
Yes they are wising up and doing it more. But if that happens in our box imo it will be a different outcome.

Did Walton claim they were both pens mate? I watched it in the pub and I couldn’t hear the sound when Walton was interviewed. Thanks

During the game, about 3 minutes into the 4 minute VAR consultation, BT went to PW for his 'expert opinion'.

At this point despite having seen the incident at least half a dozen times from varying angles, he wouldn't give a definitive answer. He used the word 'could' [be given] three times in about 30 seconds.

Post match he was absolutely certain that it was a penalty.
 
According to Walton & against what the v.a r. lovers are saying on here, handball has to be deliberate.

He is sure Otamendi, deliberately handled the ball.

But he also says he "tried to pull his arm away at the last minute" .
At the last minute. It took all of 1 second to hit him. Fuckin tools the lot of them. Also the first goal stands as it was in a different phase of play. It wasn’t even a foul. Soft fuckin ****s
 
I can accept that a significant proportion of people agree the penalties should have been given. I don't think they should have been awarded, maybe because I am biased. However, I think it is fair to say that, at best, they were marginal. When you also consider the two yellow cards given to Otamendi, which were both harsh, and Schalke were not punished for decisions that could have gone against them (including two surefire yellow card offences they committed on the edge of their box), then I think it is reasonable to suggest we did not get a fair crack of the whip from the officials.
 
It is either a penalty and a red card or a penalty and no card. Cannot be a yellow card. Also referee supposed to make final decision on pitch not someone in a studio. No screen V A R should not have been used! And finally every foul is not a yellow card he let worse fouls go and played advantage shocking ref!

No wonder we weren’t allowed an English ref at the World Cup!
 
I was reallly dissapointed and angry at our game for a while ,but atleast we fought til the end and with some luck and brilliant free kick we won it with one man down.Thats a champions mentality and hopefully we finish it off at home in the first half.
@ken tali

You fool no-one,never seen until we are losing then there you are
