Leicester_Loyal Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Ah pointless even getting wound up about it, happens every weekend and the referees just are allowed to get away with it, then the tops dogs come out and defend them or change the rules or laws a few days later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Can't tell by the replays, the camera isn't showing the ball on the arm. How is the VAR ref can make a decision, have to ask the Villa player if it touched his arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Shire Fox Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Mike Dean was the ref for the disgraceful semi final one last year that werent given aswell. Either a secret Villa fan or needs to get his Referees rulebook out and go over the ‘what constitutes handball’ section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 (edited) You see the ball spin change , anyway Southampton well on top... the handball rule is improving in my view Edited 30 January 2021 by foxes_rule1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 To show the inconsistency the same player had a much harsher handball given against him the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 If the ref saw it the way many of us did in real time and had blown for a penalty, I'm not convinced VAR would have overturned that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 The commentators just mentioned the handball in Liverpool vs Leeds on first day of the season would still stand, even though it deflects up off the thigh. So what's different here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all ifs and buts... it would have been so harsh... yes the arm is out and had it hit direct no doubt, but because it flicks off the thigh you can’t give it. Right decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVIE B Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 (edited) He moved his hand towards the ball to block it, whether his thigh plays a part or not should be irrelevant. The refs need to make more judgments by using the pitch side monitor. Stop bottling it. Edited 30 January 2021 by STEVIE B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right decision I disagree. Looked like a penalty in real time. And in replays. And he moved his arm out to make himself bigger. Still, it's a game of differing opinions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
