[Albion] Was it a penalty?

Neither of those things stop something being a penalty.
Not that I think it was. But it's not the worst decision I've seen and I don't think VAR could overturn it.
Of course it was a penalty, 100%

Official site commentator said surprised VAR didn’t overturn it as got the ball… mmm… if the rule is about taking the ball, it’s def no pen. Not as clean cut as some on this thread are suggesting for me - I’ve changed to no pen. That said, the ref was biased as f*** and couldn’t wait to give it.

Umpire’s call for me, VAR isn’t overturning the on-field decision whichever way the ref calls it. You could make a case either way but I neither think it’s a ‘stonewall penatly’ nor a travesty of justice.

the ref couldn’t wait to give Arsenal a free kick after 30 seconds after the match started,
and it continued throughout the first half especially, and as for the penalty, couldn’t wait to blow his whistle, was always going to give it ,

and that's why I say no penalty. Did PGMOL say the Doku decision was incorrect? If not, this is not a penalty. Check badge should not be part of the decision-making process.

A foot to chest collision is a foul, isn't it?

Because that is why the Doku- Mac Alister penalty was not given, except that Doku kicked him in the chest rather than the shin.I sometimes think I’m in the twilight zone on here, how can a faint touch on a ball give you the right to chop away an attackers’ legs in the penalty area, undignified stuff

First half he was shocking and that ridiculous free kick signalled the start of it.

Sadly the “umpire’s call” is too often a favour the big club call imo. I am pretty certain that penalty would not have been given if it was in the Arsenal box at 0-0.
Yeah, I am a biased cynic and thought the ref gave everything he could to Arsenal in the first half, and the speed with which he pointed to the spot for the pen was telling. It was just before that that he ignored a two handed push in the back on Enciso wasn’t it? Awful ref and no surprise given his mind boggling line drawing at Palace when he was on VAR.

My mate in the Arsenal end said they had a laugh about how much quicker we were being flagged offside each time compared to them.

Probably because the lino knew we wouldn’t be scoring, so no point in waiting

Wan Bassaka’s yesterday was way less of a penalty than Lamptey’s - tho I’m sure no one cares about that
still rightly given tho
still rightly given tho
Welbeck was blatantly fouled (pulled back) in the initial (pre) build-up to their second goal (just outside their box).........far more annoying than the penalty decision

Yes.
You'd be APOPLECTIC if that were not given, for us.

Stephen Warnock showed last week that you can’t take anything he says seriously. Therefore it must be a stonewall penalty.Dermot Gallagher: penalty
