Dodgy last minute penalty to Wolves as payback?

 

[apollo_creed]

Good luck to all the clubs who don't have tantrums and write letters complaining about referees.

 

[SC_Power]

Good luck to all the teams that aren't screwed over by refereeing / VAR errors.
And if you are screwed over, whatever you do, don't mention it anywhere.

 

[Cruyff14]

Should be beating Forest. They're not a bad outfit though so it won't be a walk in the park.

 

[SC_Power]

Chelsea and Arsenal… If Liverpool can find 4 points out of 6 then I’ll start really believing that they can go with City to the finish line. Right now its more hope than belief.

Need all 6 really to be holding off City.

A draw at Arsenal is always a good result. Can't win them all.

Doesnt win you titles against a team like City though.

 

[moomba]

4 points against Chelsea home and Arsenal away would be a decent result against anyone.

The most we can get from those two fixtures is 3.

As for our games, Burnley should be fine but Brentford away will be tough. Be nice to keep the momentum going with a couple of wins.

Staggering to think that people actually believe the league is not corrupt

What flat earth?

Explain how it’s not a handball instead of looking like a poor campaigner

Because just like bigfooty, and supporters in the stands and people in charge of games people can do stupid things and be morons. Doesn't mean it's some high level conspiracy that's just nutcase territory

I love a good grainy stillframe but you actually got vision? Does the ball deviate?

 

[And_ROOS]

Nervy win in the end, but as they say 3 points is 3 points. Turner absolutely did us a solid tonight that first goal at the near post getting beat by Jesus was horrendous.

I did not have "Luton battering BHA" on my bingo card this morning.

Doesn't show the reverse angle but shows the play where the handball happens.

 

[KekiRoo]

How did Beto miss there? Easier to score than miss.

Then contrives to block his teammates' shot.

 

[And_ROOS]

How the **** have Everton not managed to score from one of these chances.

 

[glenferry23]

Aside from conceding that late goal, that was quite a professional performance by Arsenal. Was impressed by Forrest with their shape and defending. Offered Arsenal very little in the first half.

Something out of nothing for Jesus broke the game open. Shouldn’t be able to score from there but he did. Was reminded of van Persie nutmegging Valdes with that finish.

Very important to nail the second goal from Saka on his right. Crucial 3 points banked and a very important fixture upcoming on the weekend with Liverpool awaiting.

So the hand, if it does impact on the ball, actually directs the ball towards not away from the goal.

 

[Jatz]

So the hand, if it does impact on the ball, actually directs the ball towards not away from the goal.

To be fair, is that in any way relevant to whether it should be called or not?

 

[And_ROOS]

So the hand, if it does impact on the ball, actually directs the ball towards not away from the goal.

The hand clearly knocks the ball towards the goal, but the real question is was his arm in a natural position and thats where everyone online is split.
Some are saying theres no way he moves his arm out of the way, its in a natural position, he hits the ball towards his own goal so there was no advantage to be had etc.
Others saying his arm is way too far out for it to be a natural position unless he is Christ The Redeemer, and that it was a clear handball that should be a penalty.
