Justice.

 

[Mark1989]

It's like var in English league just gets worse each season!

Haha city fluffed it lol

 

[The_One]

What was that

 

[Snax]

His arm was out and he couldn't retract it fast enough.

The rule is stupid but at least they are being consistent

 

[Purdy]

Jesus Christ he’s been spending too much time around Sterling

 

[fez]

That should be a penalty. He is running with his arm arm and then tries to move it out of the way when the cross comes in. Easy decision.

 

[Robbo]

Surely that's deliberate, doesn't look arsed

 

[Moothead2]

Less obvious than the Leicester one imo.

 

[adam cool dude]

Lol Prince Harry with a stinker.

 

[chroniclard]

Meh mane should have lethered that

 

[Kelt]

STOP THE VAR!!!

 

[PikeyPriest]

Having watched the replay I don’t even think it’s harsh. This should have been given by the ref even in previous season. No attempt to move the arm out the way with the ball travelling 5+m is hard to excuse. It’s nothing like the sub 1m penalties given previously.

 

[fez]

He did try to retract his arm when the ball was in flight but his arm shouldn't have been stuck out there like that in the first place.

 

[antijoke]

Lol all these fools coming out saying it’s a penalty. Jog on.

 

[mmj_uk]

Handball is handball, if we're not going to use common sense or have any flexibility with players having their shoulder 1mm offside I don't see why they should use any common sense with handballs.

I reckon they should gaffa tape players arms to their bodies for games. Don’t forget they also need to stop headers because of the evidence of brain injuries.

Were you dropped on you head as a kid? No attempt to move the arm out of the way. Are you blind. He turns his whole body away but can't do it in time.

Get the impression some people haven’t done any running since playing a sport in school

Lol all these fools coming out saying it’s a penalty. Jog on.

It 100% is with the current awful rules

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Great start to the half but City finished well on top. They were defending deep to start with but as we got on top they started leaving more players in our half and ended up having far better chances down our left.

Klopp won't change things but Jota hasn't really got in to the game down the right, Firmino isn't in it at all and Gini keeps moving out of position.

100% a penalty btw, intent is no longer a consideration sadly.

 

[Mark1989]

The new rules on handball are just retarded, refs etc give it cause they have no choice, when every one pundits included consistently say it's not a penalty but in the rules it is, the rules are clearly broken

Unless as pointed out by carra defenders start running and hold arms behind there back nothing they can do

The defenders aren't putting arm/hand in the way on purpose most of time there just running as normal, strikers/wingers may as well just kick into directly into a players arm and get a pen with way it is atm

 

[Maundie]

With the rules as they are that is 100% a penalty, it's not VAR that's the problem with these penalties given for handball it's the rule that's the problem, as someone mentioned players are going to have to have their arms taped by their sides but then they'd probably give penalties saying that players didn't move their arms out the way.
