Burst out laughing because Grealish has conceded a penalty.
Burst into tears because Fernandez scored a shithouse goal.

I am watching this as a neutral but I can’t quite believe that decision

Shouldn't be a pen but nowadays it is. Ridiculous. Hopefully the rules will change over the summer.
Sometimes it is. It wasn’t in the Europe League final which was a much clearer handball. Refereeing is atrocious

Not a penalty for me. Poor decision.
Under the current ridiculous handball guidance it's a handball all day long. Come the summer they are really going to have a look at the rules and guidance. In a sensible world it's not given as accidental and more importantly not hand to ball and arm not in an unnatural position.

The hand ball changes the direction of the ball. It's a penalty.
Yeah, he should have moved his hand out of the way, 0.1 seconds is more than enough time to react.

Surely there needs to be much more penalisation for players gloating in front of the away fans after scoring.
Lindelof was caught in the eye with something when Fernandes was doing this.

(obviously idiotic behaviour from the city fans.)

What about the Europa League final? That was a much more blatant handball. It’a a poor decision IMHO

Nowhere near as obvious as the ones we weren't given v Spurs and Brentford.

VAR decisions are completely random. It's a joke.
Completely random
Worse thing to happen to football

I didn't see that, but was that EL case more of a VAR issue rather than whether it was classified as handball or not?
