John Brooks awards Arsenal a penalty. VAR agrees with him. What a surprise ?

It was a penalty though in my opinion. Lamptey gets the slightest touch on the ball but no way in control of the tackle.

Heard this on the radio where they was saying it was a shocker, I've now watched it and I'm not sure why they think it's so bad, it's a foul for me.

Foul for me. However there is no consistency. When there’s a slight touch on the leg they tend to give it as VAR slows the thing down to show a touch. If the touch is on the ball we don’t do that then? They make it up as they go along.

Penalty..infact I can't believe I'm even typing this.

A clear penalty. No controversy here.

A new best seller by Nick Hornby ?

We got away with one today. JRod's foul not getting much of a mention.

Was that the one near the end when he touched the man's sock so hard that the shin pad might almost have felt it?

Arsenal one is a penalty all day long.

Sorry to divert but not worth a new thread… what was the fuss about Wolves’ goal being disallowed? They have a player stood in an offside position directly in front of the goalkeeper with the sole intention of impeding the goalkeeper’s line of sight and ability to attempt a save. Then complain when he’s judged to be interfering with play.

Can’t understand the reaction of their manager or the MOTD pundits. Even going so far as to say the goalkeeper could move to the side so he could have a better view of the ball. I don’t think that’s how it works. Just me?
