Honest Mistakes Thread 2016/17 onwards.

That’s a 100% nailed on penalty

 

Mate he's such a diddy that he misjudges the header and his arm is outstretched. It's so obvious..

It isn't headed at him from behind like Bernabei or flicked up at him from a yard like O'Riley. It takes an age to come down and he gets it all wrong. A penalty all day long. We get 5 minute delays for one's nothing like that and this wasn't even stopped for hahaha..

I turned off at full time but let me guess, they didn't mention it?

 

The SFA said VAR was working after the penalties given against us. Tonight a handball that was far more of a handball than the ones given against us and not even a review.

VAR is only "working" for one team.

 

If O'Rileys was a pen (it wasn't) then that was a stonewaller.

Infact forget O'Rileys, that is nailed on no matter what.

If we aren't all over this then we deserve all we get.

 

I can see how it wasn't given although if it where against us, it would definitely be a penalty.

 

How do you see it not given?

 

They still haven't had one against them yet for anything. No a single thing against since we've had VAR..

No stoppages to check for penalties..

Only stoppages to check for them. That's upgraded yellows to reds and penalties. No a single one given against yet....still....when they've been a shambles defensively. Lol..

 

The only answer I can come up with is it’s because it’s them.

 

Agree with this. Inexplicable that it wasn't given with some of the penalties given before the break, but ideally none of these * handballs would be penalties at all.

 

How was that not a penalty?

 

Going back some years before VAR and the change in handball rules, I would have been a bit scunnered had a decision like that gone against us to be honest. Goes to head it, misses it and it hits the top of his arm. Don't think his arm is really in much of unnatural position and it doesn't change the direction of the ball much cos it hits against it without any force from the arm itself.

For me I wouldnt want to see penalties given for things like that. But, all that being said, it's a stonewaller by today's standards.

 

It's the absolute definition of a penalty these days. A huge amount of time from the minute the ball leaves the attackers foot (unlike O'Rileys that travelled about 18 inches before ball to hand) this one dropped out of near earth orbit and he went to head it, * it up and it hit am arm.

In what * universe is that not a penalty?

If we aren't all over that then I give up, we are clearly happy with the cheating as it keeps the illusion of competition.

 

I agree, as I said. Doesn't mean that I think that should be a penalty in football, but it's where we are with handball rules. That's a different discussion.

 

He went to head it, missed and it hit his arm.

That's a pen in 19 canteen ffs.

 

I still think only deliberately handballs should be penalised personally. But that's not where we are with the rules and by today's standards that one tonight is a stonewaller. Inexplicable it wasn't given.

 

We can go on about this on here until the goats come home. It means * all if we don't challenge it publicly.

 

He's a professional footballer mate not a pub league reserve left back. Pros should be held to a higher standard. * up a simple clearing header and have the ball hit your outstretched arm instead is as blatant as it comes.
