Carl the Llama Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Just now, The Bear said: His foot gets stepped on but then he literally jumps onto the floor. Ah ok so because he overreacts it undoes the foul. Makes sense. 1
Unabomber Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Just now, StanSP said: Fair enough on that one .  He does overreact. Still doesn't change the fact his foot got stepped on. Stan with respect a foot getting stepped on does not mean a penalty. 3

It was a light touch .  Anyway, I don't want to keep repeating myself right now so will agree to disagree! I think there's always going to be discussion long in to the night about this one though regardless... Absolutely, I ain’t the one saying if it was Vardy it’d be a different story, appreciate it wasn’t personally directed at me.  All opinions ain’t it.  Nice to see VAR has ended controversy in football. 1
UniFox21 Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 2 minutes ago, Unabomber said: Wow I had somehow forgotten about that one, good point. Scary levels of inconsistency. Mahrez should’ve been booked if that is the benchmark. I sound petty, but it's a benchmark I come back to. The official and VAR gave a dive, and then award penalties for significantly less contact. Our league jas piss poor consistency on fouls 1
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 I missed it. Did he go down and clutch his other foot as well?  If not, there's some improvement clearly needed in his technique as Mane is a master at it. Â

But seeing the replays, he steps on his foot and impedes him.Â

Agreed. If it had been given in the first place it stands. I doubt we'd have had it overturned though (I am a bit (PARANOID!!) 2

Yes numerous times, it makes you fall over immediately not when you’ve had time to review the situation and what the best cause of action is. 4

foxfanazer Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Again it raises the question of why doesn't the referee go take another look on the monitor. I think if he does he sticks with his original decision. This clear and obvious nonsense is the problem. All of the people officiating the VAR won't have the same opinion so its again too subjective. There's no way that penalty call hit the threshold but Tielemans foul against Bournemouth didn't hit the threshold for a red card
Carl the Llama Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Just taken another look at the replays and Mahrez goes down without taking any more steps. He drops dramatically but there's no merit to the arguments that he took a few steps and decided he lost the ball. 1
The Bear Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Replay just showed Coady who cleared it was still on the line when it was taken.  Bent *****.Â

If Mahrez had stayed on his feet but hobbled off, or just stopped his attempt to get the ball, do you still think a penalty would have been given?  I think with VAR, maybe so. But until we see something like that happen, players will always try to make it as clear as possible that they have been fouled.Â
trabuch Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 I blame Old mother ****er Riley for not allowing sideline reviews. 2
UniFox21 Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Michael Owen isn't one to be moaning about divingÂ

Vacamion Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019  Michael Owen complaining about diving under minimal contact.   No words.  Â
sishades Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 I do not understand why Wolves are having a go at Man City, Do they not realise that chasing the ball, passing it around at pace and getting stuck in will get them nowhere. Wolves must change it it early in the 2nd half and allow Man City to have complete control or they will be at serious risk of winning the game.
kingfox Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 Clear penalty. Â Those saying different are obviously attention seeking because they want to be different.

To be fair to The Bear I'd be a bit miffed it it was us - but rules are rules. And they are still losing to 10 men. Which is where the focus should be. Edited 27 December 2019 by trabuch 1
yorkie1999 Posted 27 December 2019 Posted 27 December 2019 (edited) Best thing about that that is ederson getting sent off, dirty cheating twat. Again, eyes on taking the player out Edited 27 December 2019 by yorkie1999
