I understand where you’re coming from but Hudson-Odoi basically punched the ball. I also wouldn’t have my arms outstretched in front of me if I were running (unnatural). You could even argue it’s verging on above shoulder level at which point natural/unnatural is superseded. If Greenwood...

If that isn’t an unnatural position I don’t know what is. Could argue he moves his arm towards the ball too. Clear pen. After Tierney not calling the Ndidi handball in real time earlier (and I say this as a Leicester fan), I can only assume the refs are becoming scared to call handballs after...

Absolute self-inflicted shambles from Mason but I think the VAR got it right in the end. Definitely blew before it went in.

I would say he challenged for the ball initially and that was why he was in that situation. You could also argue he’s gone for the ball as he’s falling over? Probably still a red by the letter of the law. I’m desperately trying to find reasons it might not be as it just feels wrong😂

It’s harsh but 100% a pen, the kick after the initial contact confirms it. He’s tripped and would be in on goal if there’s no contact. Don’t see the controversy or why VAR is getting involved at all. How different is it from a normal mistimed tackle? Probably should have been a yellow with...

I don’t know whether this story is true or not (although the fact it was ever reported by the BBC suggests that, as much as Southampton deny it, there is likely some truth in it), but what I despair at is the irony of the very same fans who scream ‘corruption’ every time a subjective decision is...

But he called time before the through ball was played when the ball was in the midfield area. He has every right, if his watch says so (referees are the sole timekeepers after all), to blow up there and then. It’s a bit unfortunate but you can’t conclusively say it’s an error. Agree that he had...

Doesn’t matter what it says on Sky’s timer- only what it says on Tierney’s watch (which we will never know but it was likely to have been around exactly on 46 minutes). Whistle was blown well before the Mané pass was played when the ball was in a seemingly innocuous position near halfway...
