Yes. If a goal is scored it’s ruled out. Not deliberate though.

So they allow not deliberate handballs for penalties but not goals? Makes complete and total sense.

Sorry if already posted. Has it been confirmed from a reputable source that the English owners took a payout from UEFA to drop out the ESL?. Just wondering because if true it’s just as scandalous as the rest of the debacle.

No, it was only Mundo Deportivo. Though it was reported from multiple sources that UEFA was going to source more money.

i thought that rule extended to getting pens though? remember something when the ball hit trents arm in the 3-1 vs City that it couldnt have been a pen as it his bernardo silvas arm first? rule may have changed again since though

i agree, almost never. I'm still a little annoyed about the time they called Pepe for releasing the ball outside the box on a basic hoof downfield. STILL waiting to see that called again, anywhere, anytime. its been about 15 years and counting.

Bolton away, 2006? Joke call!

Didn’t Migs get pinged in Europe for holding onto the ball too long as well which they scored from?

As I understood it. If the ball had gone to Sterling(?) and he had scored it would have been disallowed for hitting Silva’s arm (even though unintentional). But it could still be a pen as it was unintentional. It was just decided that Trent didn’t deliberately hand ball it so not connected to Silva. All clear...

Yes please.

(Let it be known that I think Hasenhuttl is still a very good manager who has been hamstrung by owners who have generally bought a bunch of shit players.)

Yeah same really. His rep has taken a big knock this season, but he did very well with Ingolstadt and Leipzig, I’d like to see him back in Bundesliga.

United’s to lose?

Dr Stu-Pid · « **Reply #657 on:** April 21, 2021, 08:20:46 pm »

I’ve looked at the Spurs penalty a few times and I’m not convinced that the Southampton player actually makes contact with the Spurs player until the follow through, which would have been outside the box. VAR paused it just after contact with the ball but at that point I’m not sure the foul had been committed.

Plus of course those are never given when you are in the act of shooting (ask Mane) and there was possibly a handball in the build up (Bobby’s handball was less obvious by far).

Ah, it’s good to be complaining about VAR again after the last 72 hours...

The league to United.

Now of course they can turn this around, but if they lose this and Man Utd win their game in hand... just 5 points behind.

You sounded like you were panicking, if there is one thing we should all know about this season it's to expect the unexpected.

No. United would need to win every match and City would still need to implode.

City's heads in the CL. They need 3 wins (if United win theirs). Slip up today and it's 3 wins from 5 including Chelsea away.

United win all theirs and they've got a good chance. Up to us to stop them next week.

City have a lead and we chase them - they win every single game. City have a lead and United chase them - they bottle it.

Our own fault though. Had we stayed in touch in Jan and Feb rather than collapsed (largely thanks to the manager not being backed to get a defender in) it'd be us cheering on Villa now.

OkieRedman · « **Reply #667 on:** April 21, 2021, 08:32:41 pm »

What fluke of a goal that was for Villa. A balloon of a clearance and allowing that pass to the one player in the box. It is incredible some of the goals I see other sides score, when it feels like we have to bring down the Berlin wall for every fucking goal.

They were schooled at the weekend, but all this shit this week is terrible prep and extra motivation for the opponent. Look at us on Monday and then Chelsea slipped up last night. Spurs needed an injury time pen at home to a Southampton side who can't buy a result.

You know City have 70 minutes left tonight and United aren't going to win six games with City imploding?

No non-Spanish source has confirmed it, but happily the PSG chairman now heads the ECA, so we are pretty much back to normal now.

Glad they got the goal, but I still can not understand why the opposing midfielders vs a Pep side can not stop ball watching. It is like pixie dust or something.
