No red because the ball had escaped him?

[Crosby Nick]

Bassey and Ream are a pair of liabilities. Surely we get plenty of joy out of them at the weekend?

They've got a lot of players who have been around the league for years but it doesn't look very good at all. Weak at centre half and have very little quality in attack. I'm amazed they didn't replace Mitrovic with someone else because Jimenez's career was practically ended after that head injury a few years ago. Looks like they'll have Palinha back for the game at the weekend but it shouldn't make much of a difference, they're crap. Only won 3 games and they were include Everton, Sheff Utd and Luton.

[Fromola]

Got a slight touch on the ball, but a stomping motion and bad way to try get the ball. Not sure on that myself… can see why it wasn’t overturned.

VAR is useless for subjective decisions like that. Damned if it intervenes, damned if it doesn't.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

This is much more of a penalty than their first. Probably won't be given then.

No idea what Alan Smith is on about, it's stonewall. Even Gary O'Neil knows it.

[Pistolero]

This is just fuckin ridiculous now....never a penalty that

[Wghennessy]

Thats a foul.

[Crosby Nick]

Fuck me.

[FOOT]

Looked more of a pen than the first one for me

[slaphead]

I'm listening on the radio here, Danny Murphy and Sam Materface said it was a complete dive, should never be given. No way this is a pen. Then said it might be. Then its not. Then there was contact, maybe a bit, or was there. Then he left his leg. Cheers lads

[Phineus]

Wolves have had a few contentious calls, to say least, go against them this season eh.

[SamLad]

pen for me.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Soft

[Wghennessy]

He's clearly kicked him. That's a foul all day.

[Dim Glas]

Willian done his bit tonight, 2 cool penalties.

[naYoRHa2b]

It's not a pen. Not every tiny bit of contact is a penalty. Ridiculous

[Wghennessy]

It's not a pen. Not every tiny bit of contact is a penalty. Ridiculous

Is it a foul though? He's clearly fouled him there.

[kavah]

Soft pens. Players shouldn’t try and win it in the box when it’s going nowhere. Which I know sounds stupid but with VAR it’s a different game in the box.

[AllyouneedisRush]

He's clearly kicked him. That's a foul all day.

Thought it was a dive

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

It's not a pen. Not every tiny bit of contact is a penalty. Ridiculous

I don't think that was a tiny bit of contact though? He's kneed him in the thigh.

[Farman]

Not a pen, and absolutely no chance it’s a clear and obvious error. Ridiculous that that sort of contact is considered a pen by anyone.

[SamLad]

It's not a pen. Not every tiny bit of contact is a penalty. Ridiculous

think we'd all be screaming for a pen if it was one of ours doing down after that.

[Skrtelonparole]

Clearly a pen. The first one was much more of a doubt.

[Crosby Nick]

It's not a pen. Not every tiny bit of contact is a penalty. Ridiculous

Yeah, Wilson running full tilt at him. You can say the defender was careless or should have seen him coming but he didn’t alter what he was doing. Dunno, just don’t think every bit of contact means it’s a foul.

[Wghennessy]

Thought it was a dive

He's gone down easily but he's left a leg and hes clearly made clear contact.

[SamLad]

I agree but I think ppl assume it has to be deliberate to be a pen. 

[Wghennessy]

Not a pen, and absolutely no chance it’s a clear and obvious error. Ridiculous that that sort of contact is considered a pen by anyone.

What did the ref say to VAR for you to decide its not a clear and obvious error? The ref has to see no contact at all for that not to be overruled.

[JRed]

I’d want a penalty for that if it was us. Wilson knew what he was doing but still got caught by the defender.

[AllyouneedisRush]

He's gone down easily but he's left a leg and hes clearly made clear contact.

There is contact all over the pitch, its noway enough to bring him down, he's dived imho..

[Crosby Nick]

Did you think that Van Dijk on Lamela was a penalty?

[Barneylfc∗]

2 stupid bastards them. They've got everything wrong.

[DivisiveNewSigning]

Think Gomes should have got a second yellow just before that anyway. Also, that’s a pen all day long.

[Wghennessy]

Doesnt have to be.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Worst commentators going...

[Crosby Nick]

This is one of the many issues with VAR though. Consensus here is very split. If VAR or the ref said no penalty, there’d still be loads of people saying it’s a bad decision. So should you just bum use of VAR for anything subjective? Would we be any worse off?

[Pistolero]

100% dive that....Gomez didn't even know he was there and Wilson's left his leg in and gone down as they came together - even though there was no contact whatsoever...a con job that VAR has fallen for and inexplicably awarded.... the system is completely fucked

god knows, but genie's out of the bottle now.

You choose to stay on your feet or not in those circumstances..

To claim there was no contact whatsoever is a wild, wild take.

No contact? Theres clear contact but there doesnt need to be any contact anyway. If Wilson is impeded, of which he is, then its a foul. Gomez not knowing Wilson is there isnt relevant.
