That screaming from Lacazette, absolutely embarrassing. Screaming whilst rolling around like a scared hedgehog, only to get up and walk away a few seconds later

He’s kicked it at his arm from a yard away, shut the f**k up McManaman, how does he get this co commentary job?

Looked to me like Saka deliberately aimed the ball at his arm. One of the dangers we’ve mentioned of happening because of this nonsensical handball rule.

Peter Walton actually disagreed with VAR and said a pen.

It’s a ridiculous rule from UEFA or FIFA. Imho these shouldn’t be pens. Teams are now obsessed with calling for handball pens.

I’m so sick of discussing handballs, sleeve offsides, toenail offsides, was it above forearm blablabla

Surely with the current rules, that's a pen.

Seen many given for less.

Agree, his arm is out wide and there is also movement of the arm.

The first contact isn't but the second one definitely is and I fail to see how the VAR didn't give that.

As for the red card, reluctantly agree it was correct to rescind.

Especially that last one. Clear as day it was shoulder, no handball, no red card, no penalty. Took about 10 seconds to decide that. Why they have to look at eleventy-three angles and take 2 or 3 minutes is beyond me.
