Pascal controls the ball in the Citeh penalty on his knee. Along comes Eric Garcia’s hand in a non-natural position and knocks the ball away.

VAR does not seem to even check.

Has anyone got a gif? Penalty all day long of VAR had bothered to look.

There's no doubt in my mind that it was a penalty, but according to City fans we got the rub of the green all game with the refereeing decisions so we can't complain...

Did anyone else think the break in play was a check for a penalty to us? I thought once play restarted, you couldn't go back and check and we have just had a player go down in the box, albeit with no appeals. What is the point of the big screen if it just says Checking for Penalty. How hard is it to put Possible foul by Lallana?

Anyone who thinks i's a penalty does not understand the rules.

You've clearly ignore law 15, paragraph 17 subsection k, which states, "if a smaller team has got a marginal decision against an ESL team, they shall be awarded no more marginal decisions in the same match"

Clear penalty. The arm comes around Gross's chest and knocks the ball away, I have no effing idea what constitutes handball anymore, the rule is all over the place

I did. Even thought the VAR message had put Lallana as the culprit by mistake instead of a City player:)

Lots of city fans seem really bothered by the ref last night. I just don’t see it. The red card was arguably harsh but it wasn’t a bad decision. They wanted Iranian Ronaldo sent off for his tackle but his foot was not very high and it was not at all malicious. They wanted a pen for lalana foul but not a single city player appealed.

The one where I think they had a point was a foul by burn on Jesus just before fern got booked for hacking biss. That was weird refereeing.

They chose to ignore the obvious handball this thread was about. Plus the weirdest non-booking of the day was when bissouma was running away from silva and he did very well to kick him and was about 5 foot from the ball. It was the most obvious yellow in history.

I simply don’t understand why they call decisions shocking when they are at worst possibly debatable. This was absolutely not like the decision to give saints a penalty for a March foul a yard or more outside the box!

That hack on Biss is surely the reason the yellow card was invented. It’s an absolute classic yellow card offence. You get beaten by a player, the player is away so you run up behind them and boot their leg(s) to bring them down.

Absolutely astonishing Silva didn’t get a yellow for that. They probably show you a video of a tackle 99.9% the same as that at Ref school to illustrate what a classic yellow card offence is.

Just seen Lalana tackle again. Must have been very close to a penalty. Bit reckless at that stage

Certainly would expect better from someone with his experience TBH.
