Once Barnes gets his touch the ball is going wide and at pace and there's nothing that can be done to prevent that whether he's clobbered or not. In the Alonso incident there's every chance that if the keeper doesn't take him out that he can get to the ball and get a shot away/set someone up. It’s nothing to do with where the balls going, the fact is there goalie only had eyes for Barnes and not the ball. If you watch a reply you’ll see he’s watching Barnes and it comes down to dangerous play. 3

That’s the shame of it .....if Barnes wasn’t watching ederson he may have made proper contact with the bloody ball! 1

No but Rugby Union fans generally seem to think they’re superior to football fans. There seems to have always been a real bitterness towards football from them. 1

So when the ball is out of play it's acceptable to punch a player in the face then. It's a clear foul and dangerous play, we've had players sent off for less. 3

It's a clear foul and dangerous play, we've had players sent off for less. Nowhere near comparable 😂. Punching someone in the face is violent conduct, trying to make a save is not! It isn’t a penalty, it wasn’t given (rightly) as a penalty. Manchester City were simply better than us. Let’s just focus on Liverpool now, and see if we can get a result

A foul is a foul no matter what happens to the ball afterwards.

Is he supposed to let Harvey just tap it in then? The pace Barnes is going at, there’s no way he can avoid contact. The only thing that irritates me about that incident is that Barnes didn’t put it away. It’s irrelevant now anyway

There is nothing in the rule book about goalkeepers being exempt from fouls? Imagine for one second exactly the same situation at the other end but it’s Evans making the same attempt at blocking the ball, is it a penalty? 5 1

We got a penalty at Bournemouth last season when a defender wiped out Doherty as he scuffed his shot wide. They should be given on GKs as well but they invariably don't. Like an unwritten rule or something. 1

It’s irrelevant now anyway No but in the same way you're not supposed to just let a player dribble past you. If you can't stop them without winning the ball it's a foul. Goalkeepers need to be held accountable, you take someone out without winning the ball it's a foul. You need to judge if you can win the ball cleanly if you can't don't dive in if you do and miss the ball then you risk conceding a foul/penalty.

If he’s gone towards Barnes and missed the ball that’s different but Barnes has run full throttle towards him and not way he can move out of the way. You have a different opinion which is fair enough. VAR looked at it and deemed the contact as unavoidable, which for me it was. 1
