As an alternative...Wolves fans currently singing “fuck VAR”.
Can see it getting aired at all grounds.
The rule itself is as clear as day.
"Any goal scored or created with the use of the hand or arm will be disallowed this season, even if it is accidental," says the Premier League.
Jesus' goal, technically, was created by the use of Laporte's arm, regardless of whether there was any intent.
The rule was changed after some high-profile goals were scored by the accidental use of a hand last season.
To give three Premier League examples:
Last August, Willy Boly scored for Wolves against Manchester City after the ball touched his arm.Alexandre Lacazette handled in the build-up to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal for Arsenal at Crystal Palace in October Sergio Aguero used his hand in scoring his third for Manchester City against Arsenal in February
City would NEVER get that penalty.Having just seen the Rag 'penalty' I can only say told you so. Bent.
City would NEVER get that penalty.
Edited, for realism.As an alternative...
"You can stick your fucking VAR up your arse...."
Similarly, if it had hit the defenders arm on Saturday (no penalty as this only applies to the attacker) and got cleared, then Kane volleyed it past Eddie would a goal have stood seeing as they got an advantage from the initial hand ball?If, KDB blasts a shot into packed penalty area and it hits aguero on the arm and rebounds back to the halfway line,
Where Eddie then blasts into the net from just inside his own half, would that be a goal or disallowed under the rule.
Obviously a goal wasnt scored directly following agueros contact, eg it didnt rebound into the goal. Now, normally
a ref wouldn't send a player off for a foul around halfway line particularly if he thought other defensive players could
be between the player & the goal, eg he or she would give a yellow as it wouldnt be deemed a goal scoring opportunity.
As Eddie is in his own half with probably all eleven opposition players in front of him, it's not a goalscoring opportunity,
So when does it become a goal scoring opportunity,?
When a goal is scored, as obviously it was an opportunity as he scored or by the same criteria they use to deem red not yellow
What I still don't get on penalties is "VAR wont overrule/review a referees decision" so why was oliver indicating var told him rodris wasn't a penalty , yet moss pointed straight to the spot when it looked like a clear dive , and var didn't get involved when it looked a refs CLEAR AND OBVIOUS errorCorrect.
