Premier Lg EPL Matchday 18, 19 & 20 - On Optus Sport

Th3 problem with handballs is where you draw the line. We saw enough goals ruled out in recent seasons for innocuous handballs in the buildup to goals that the rule was changed to what it is now.

For me (I haven't seen Joelinton) if it's handball in a non goal scoring situation by the scorer or assister the goal should be ruled out. If it's not handballs in a non goal scoring situation and someone gets an advantage from an innocuous handball, tough shit.

But PGMOL haven't been able to achieve any level of consistency with handball decisions since I've been watching the game so we shouldn't expect much consistency now.

Looking at the Brighton penalty, it looks harsh.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I’d agree with the others that it’s unlucky, but it’s a penalty. He headbutted him…

This. Was on the wrong side of the contest relative to the ball.
Makes active decision to head the ball. Makes contact with the head.

Unlucky.
But penalty.

 

[QuietB]

Just watched this. What a joke. I don’t know what the point of VAR even is anymore.

To correct clear and obvious errors

 

[FreoRicci]

What qualities does Declan Rice has, other than being English, that he’s a DM for Arsenal.

 

[FreoRicci]

That's ok, apparently this wasn't handball and didn't benefit Newcastle despite a goal being scored about 3 seconds later lol View attachment 2197802

Where’s the traditional handball ? That’s a penalty every ****ing day. Hands out by the side, influencing the play. Disgraceful call

It wasn't in the box? And Newcastle are attacking?

 

[Frank Bunn]

You shouldn't be able to gain an advantage from a handball, accidental or not. Foul for mine.

It wasn't handball. You are arguing for a change to the laws.

My daughter just LOVES him.

Big engine, strong, great leader, great passing range, great at dead balls.

 

[dirty2]

If I didn't kind of love Spurs, **** me I'd hate them.

You poor campaigner.

Been a lot of snow in northern Engerland (and Southern Ireland - not as in the opposite of the country northern ireland, but the island of ireland). Man United aren't getting their wish though as it appears the game is still on.

Side note, it didnt snow in Dublin but a bit of an urban heat island + low level city. Snowed in the mountains about 5mins south of me.

I want the game to go ahead, get the flogging over and done with.

He'd be a better point guard than most in the NBA.

Conditions will trim 5 goals off the margin I'd say.

I'm stuck on a runway in Manchester cause of the snow. They closed all runways earlier in the day and still clearing the backlog.

 

[Mr Meow]

Ipswich will put a bit of pressure on Man United if they can close this game out.

Up into 16th place if they get the win today.

 

[Mr Meow]

Wow! Penalty fest at Craven Cottage.

Ipswich hit the post at one end near the end of normal time while 2-1 up, then Fulham get the penalty on the counter.

Half of Manchester breathe a sigh of relief.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Kalvin Phillips coming off the bench for Ipswich Town... that's a long fall from grace.

 

[Bradesmaen]

TAA just looks like he can't be bothered defending most of the time

 

[Mr Meow]

TAA just looks like he can't be bothered defending most of the time

He's almost always been a deep lying winger more than a defender.

It's probably not worth it now that his attacking edge is just very good rather than world class.

I know but it's the attitude to try and defend, doesn't look like it's there anymore.

 

[Mr Meow]

I can see what you're saying but I still think that's being generous to his defending efforts previous seasons. I'd say the title winning season was the one time he was strong in that area.

Attitude rather than ability is my reference
