LondonBristolian Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 The problem is something like that looks completely out of context slowed down. No way is that deliberate handball at normal speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Completely ridiculous. The sooner VAR is gone the better. Makes you wonder how we went so long without a penalty if that's the standard.

Jacki Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Ludicrous decision. How can he avoid handling that? He’s not even looking at the ball. The handball rule is a proper joke these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Anyone that's ever played football knows that's not handball. You can't jump with your hands by your side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Grealish wasn't even looking at the ball. Poor from VAR and poorer from the referee.

redkev Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 It’s the law that’s a joke not the decision , by the letter of the law correct decision, mind you if that was against us I would be furious , Matt Hill always jumped with hands in air and had a few given against him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 The one against the U20's the other night was even worse, deflected on its way to the player, arm by his side and hit him on the shirt sleeve. Apart from that a clear pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) I can see why, by the letter of the law, the Grealish incident is a penalty. It's arguable that you have to raise your hands when you jump, but do you have to raise them that high and in that position? I'm not sure. It's soft yes, but I can see how it can be brought within the law. I'm also not sure the incident on De Bruyne was either careless, reckless or dangerous, so I see why no penalty was awarded there. I think both incidents are arguable either way though and suspect you'd get disagreement in any room. Two difficult decisions when you consider the precise wording of the relevant laws. VAR just enforces those laws. It's IFAB not PGMOL you should rail against if you don't like that Grealish penalty.

hertsexile Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Penalty clear and obvious error from VAR jacks arm not in un natural position when jumping on field decision correct. Several slow motion replays later VAR says take a look I may have seen handball. On field ref right VAR made a bad call once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
