Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Just watching Neymar’s shellshocked expression made it for me.
The irony of the player who scored at OT, when he shouldn’t have been on the pitch, giving away the penalty is schadenfreunde only football can offer.
Great entertainment.

Let's have 4 English teams in the quarters and another two in the Europa. Just shows what company we are keeping and what an achievement last season was.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Stunning from United, but thats never a penalty and PSG made some terrible errors and missed a couple of good chances.
But if VAR is going to decide matches like that, then I've got to admit I'll be changing my mind again on whether its a good thing back to its not.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
What was the ref on? Incident happened at 89:08, pen scored at 93:16 and he’s added 3 mins. If you add the final minute and make it 4 he should be blowing up at 97. No more stoppages and he ends the match at 99:07. Costing Shaw a booking.
Superb performance.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
VAR is a great idea. However, they consistently prove that they get the decisions wrong when referred...how they give that decision is beyond me. Similar stuff against Man City in the first leg. They need to prove they can get decisions right when referred, that’ll be a start.Lancasterclaret wrote:Stunning from United, but thats never a penalty and PSG made some terrible errors and missed a couple of good chances.

It would help everyone if every time it hits a hand, intentionally or not it’s a pen. Like the leg rule in hockey....

Its not a pen Trev, but its probably worth giving it just for the expression on Neymar's face.

Nonsense. His arms are in a natural position. He’s a defender. Not a sardine in a tin. Try taping your arms to your body and seeing how much manoeuvrability you have.

Remember how mental we went when Koscielny scored against us with what was clearly an unfair advantage gained by the ball hitting his arm? Letter of the law at the time was that it wasnt' a handball, even though the ball was clearly going over the bar off his own foot, but it hit his arm and went in.
I remember.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
I wouldn’t be happy if it was given against us but slow mo made it look a lot worse and like he was making his body wider. I get why the ref gave it.
Alternatively, the ref may have just been balancing the cock up of not sending off Kim-ember in the first leg...

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
If VAR is going to work it needs to be a whole lot quicker than that AND it's supposed to clear up controversy, but as that decision shows, it never, ever will because imo that was never a penalty in a million years and I don't think even the Utd players were asking for one (just the corner), but yet even after a review a pen is given. If this all becomes a regular thing I can see me turning right off footy completely.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
VAR is just another person watching a screen and telling the onfield official that he should have another look, in other words, it is just another opinion. Yes, the referee has the final decision, however, because VAR is very much the new toy the referee is under pressure to go along the lines that, if he is called to review, he should go along with the VAR operator's decision ---hence the referee tonight changed his decision from corner to penalty ---just as happened in the World Cup Final. As someone further up the post said ---they need to change the Law to say that any handball is an offence whether deliberate or accidental anywhere on the pitch.Hibsclaret wrote:VAR is a great idea.

The game is dying on its feet because of overcomplication and it is the officials who are suffering the most! Very sad.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
It’s not the fault of VAR as some are suggesting. There’s a clear disparity between the expectations/understanding of players and fans, and that of referees. VAR has just highlighted the issue and goes some way to explaining why we have questioned the decisions of referees previously.Hibsclaret wrote:If most of us say it isn’t a pen...it goes to VAR and is given there is a clear problem somewhere.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Official handball rules:
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player handles the ball deliberately.
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement
How you can interpret these rules to suggest there was a clear and obvious error is beyond me

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
I don't think the ref would have given that as a penalty in real time, which is the key here.
He only gives it as its slowed down so it looks more deliberate than it is.
Only solution is the one Hibs says, every handball in the box is a penalty. Then there is no argument.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Yeah, I reckon thats fair.
Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Nobody who has played the game at any decent level would say that was a penalty.
Lineker again calls for anytime a ball hits your arm to be a foul. Rio Ferdinand quite rightly saying that would mean defenders would have to play with their hands behind their back which would be unfair.
It’s ok talking about whether that’s the rule but another rule for VAR is that it has to be clear and obvious to go and check it.
Given that it was impossible to say that and the referee spent 4 minutes checking the replay several times it’s another rule that needs clearing up or else next season will be a farce

Where the ball is going is irrelevant tbh.conyoviejo wrote:The shot was going well over the bar anyway..
If laws are changed as I suggested above we would have to get used to more pens, free kicks and goals. Not necessarily a bad thing but defenders like Rio will have a moan and you could argue there will be an impact on the art of defending. Also good attacking players could practice aiming for arms rather than diving.....
I also believe we may see bias to the big clubs on VAR referrals. During our cup game our one referral was turned over whilst a very similar one for Man U was given on the same day...we shall see but it gives them another official to bribe....

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Tall Paul --I know that it is a terrible idea ---I have played, refereed and managed teams, at a decent level, in the game for well over 50 years, however, this is the way that the game is going and VAR will dictate that the Law be changed. You can't have handball given in the area without the same Law being applied everywhere else on the field.Tall Paul wrote:That's a terrible idea.

Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
Why did the defender turn his back? So that the ball might hit his "naturally positioned" arm perhaps. It's a pen.
Re: Man United and Liverpool in Europe
You think there'd be no argument? No arguiment about whether or not the ball brushed the player's fingertip? No argument about whether the ball, controlled on the man's chest, also touched the inside of the arm? No argument about whether the ball flicking the sleeve counts as handball if the sleeve is flapping slightly away from the body? No argument when two players go for a header in a crowded area and the ball gets trapped between the two of them, whose hand it touched first on the way down?Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:Lancaster---you then have to say that any handball, anywhere on the pitch will be penalised, then there is no argument.

Superb performance.
There were five and a half minutes between play stopping for the corner/penalty, and the kick=off after the goal. The extra minute and a half was the goal celebration and the PSG substitution. Then it got to 8+ and that young lad tried some clever ball retention instead of booting it down the other end, and Shaw gave away the foul; in theory, they shouldn't add on time to let them take the free kick. In practice, they always do.
