We had a similiar penalty given our way against West Ham. By the same ref. Now if we argue that the Salah one was a penalty, (which it was imo) then if we're consistent, we can't argue against the one given in this game. We've seen those penalties in the "seen them given" category before, and no doubt we'll see them again.
With my red hat on, I hate the 3 decisions go against us here. Without the hat on, then I can't dispute them. Whether you're classified as a "matchgoer" fan or not, then as with everything else in life, we must have justice done on a football pitch.
Neither were penalties for me, if you have to slow down footage to determine whether or not contact was made it is not a penalty, we play football in real motion not slow motion so unless it is ‘Clear & Obvious’ neither are penalties,
Similarly with offside, if Var has to draw lines on a screen to see if the tip of someone’s toe is ‘Offside’ it is not Offside, again it has to be clear & obvious, in this situation the attacking player should have the benefit of the doubt, after all isn’t that the whole point of the game, for goals to be scored to determine a winner and loser that creates all the excitement and elation ?
CLEAR & OBVIOUS, that was the mantra thrown out by those running VAR, what we’re getting is clear & obvious manipulation of the rules to suit their own agendas and robbing us of the excitement, & the emotion of why we watch football .
Either put it right or F**k it off ! !
