And now JP's done something to his arm.
Indeed. Maybe Attwell considers his initial decision was indeed blatantly wrong?
Nope. If it's in the build up to a goal.

The freeze frame they showed the ref made it look like handball. None of the live action replays did, but they hardly showed him them.

Pedro injured?
If that was a defender in his own box, would a pen be given? Genuinely asking what people think, I am doubtful.

That was my thought. Maybe 'natural position' only applies to penalty appeals?

Yes. But why would VAR want to let the facts (or common sense) get in the way? There is GLORY for them if they can just be seen to be important and relevant to the result.

Newcastle own goal 1-1
I don't think that's written in the laws though.
So - Attwell must have decided that it was deliberate?

It goes to VAR, they see what the ref sees, so why pass back to the ref
Of course, first prem goal for villa. Welcome to Brighton. It was so predictable.
A small help, but we need something from this game.

A shirt's sleeve line is the hem attaching the sleeve to the torso. From that line down anywhere when a goal is scored is deemed to be offside.
