Sickening this allowed to stand and he gets to gleefully rub it in with the celebration.

To be fair to Bamford, he can't use his feet.

Not trying to clutch at straws,

The ball isn't hit at Tarkowski, he actually runs to block the shot and uses his arm to do so.

He doesn't want to take it in his stomach, so takes it with his arm in a deliberate motion. The only mitigation for me is the closeness to and the speed of the shot. But certainly a deliberate movement by the player, so technically - handball?

The Video Assistant Referee is an extra set of eyes, with the advantage of high quality video feeds and slow-motion replay and is there to monitor incidents the on-field referee may have missed, such as 'violent conduct'.

In our game, the on-field officials missed an Everton player deliberately kick Ederson in the head, and yet VAR ignored it. A simple case of violent conduct, and they IGNORED it, like it never happened. The PL have spent the majority of the evening playing whack-a-mole with anyone who dare post a video of the incident, and the major TV sports outlets have IGNORED it.


Weird, huh?

Random capitalisation just makes you sound even more sensationalist than you actually are, which is a lot in the first instance.

Chicago has stopped doing it, maybe you could too?

Thanks.

Olivar was on var so what did you all expect , he didnt punish violent play , if that was on allisson the player would have been off quicker than a prossies pants

Where's he putting his arm then? They are literally told to keep arms by their sides , he couldnt have tucked his arms in any more than he did.

Not for me for 1 sec

Should have unscrewed it and left it in the dressing room.

if you want that as handball then you need a rule where any contact at all, any, with the arm/hand is handball, completely regardless of context, distance etc.

Any explanation from the powers that be as to why VAR missed the deliberate kick at Ederson's face by Godfrey ?? Did they actually look at it??

I've seen it a couple of times, the kick was clearly a second act, and not part of the initial coming together, in other words it was deliberate!
Godfrey was also looking straight at Ederson when he kicked out. I just cant see how that can be deemed accidental?

I fully expect the club to ask the officials and Webb for an explanation.
