@@nyanrxenawangno need for that 😂
as a Spurs fan, the thing that kills me about this is we are having such a cursed season, we've been starting an 18yr old midfielder at CB for a month because we have so many injuries. People are upset with Ange for our standing in the table and what is he supposed to do with things like this?
Some people are playing down the injury crisis but ignore the fact that it contains 3 out of 4 1st team CBs and both 1st and 2nd choice GK AND THEN the final CB also had to be taken off at half time. Things somehow got worse from last year it's insane.
@@gevgnek That and people just living in denial about how competitive the Prem is this year, the fan headloss after some of the results show for all the talk about sporting meritocracy just how much football classism plays a role in England.
I mean there are many teams with similar if not worse injury situations

This coming hours after the penalty awarded to Liverpool after the De Ligt handball is gold. And I'm not saying that wasn't a penalty. Or that it was. All I'm saying is HANDBALL CALLS HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN VAR'S MOST INCONSISTENT CALLS!
Feels like what's okay at one end, isn't okay at the other. What's okay in one game, is suddenly not in the other. I'm not even sure either BAR nor the referees completely understand the handball rule because it's also been the most tweaked/changed rule. Nobody understands it.
Lille got a penalty against Atletico after THEIR OWN STRIKER handled the ball 🤦♀️ it can't get worse than that
Both De Ligt and Joelinton should be hand ball calls imo.
And the fact that VAR didn't even look at VVD's handball prior to De Ligt's one. VAR operators are the problem.
Agreed, VAR should be separate from the referees.
breaking news... huge, MASSIVE breaking news.
you know what else is massive……

As a completely unbiased Newcastle fan, I’m gonna have to disagree with you on this one Zealand
As a german this gives me PTSD.
Even if it happens in the box, we saw it in the Euros with cucurella in the semi
That was one example and it’s still talked about 7 months later
Under the current rules, it isn't handball. Whether you *disagree* with the current rules is another thing entirely.
Gaining an advantage after a handball isn’t against the rules?!
The problem isn't what is or isn't a handball, but rather subjectivity. This is why handballs or catches in the NFL produce some of the most infuriating ref decisions. When they are put in a position to essentially guess what a player was trying to do based on their body language everyone loses. No matter what some party is going to be aggrieved because it is impossible to know if what Joelinton did was intentional or not, and the added layer of where on the field it happened or the situation complicates it even more. I personally think making the rule more objective would help. If a ball hits someone's hand and leads to a goal (maybe with the qualifier that the ball does not change possession in between the handball and goal) then it's disallowed. Maybe that would be harsh in certain situations, but you know what? We wouldn't be arguing like crazy about what a handball even is. I'm sure someone would argue still but they'd have less ground to stand on if the rule was more objective.
This is the thing with var that annoys every premier league fan is in so many other games where it accidentally touches a hand before a goal it's ruled out yet sometimes it's okay depending who's in var on that day
Or who is playing in that particular game.
Zealand, you've missed the point here.
1) his hand is in a natural position, he's not teacupping 4:03
2) the comparison with a full back making a cross is absurd - the expectation in that scenario is a ball being lofted, the expectation during build up is not for a player to shit the bed and just whack the ball into the air (Bergvall isn't passing to anyone in particular, there's an angle from behind which shows this)
3) the rules clearly state that an accidental handball in buildup is fine, it is only if the goalscorer accidentally uses his hand that it's not okay (Bruno Guimaraes vs Aston Villa for example)
That goal should not stand, They Literally gave pen against De Ligt when his hand was in a similar position. Newcastle has a way of getting these ridiculous calls go in their favour. Pen vs West Ham when Gordon kicked Kelvin Phillips and Joelinton smashing the keeper and Handball call in the same game when it hit the shoulder. Arsenal should be aggrieved by being called dark arts FC when Newcastle exists.
@bulumkomabusela5352 did you read my comment?
just a couple questions in general - i know spurs fans will feel hard done by because of this call but that is just the game sometimes so, tough tits. the first would be where would you want to draw the line for deciding a handball was involved in giving a team unfair advantage, 2 passes before? 3? 5? or time based like 20 seconds, 40? a minute? it is similar to the 'new' offside rules people are talking about where it wont fix the problem just change the margin people argue about, the ball is going to hit players hands whether intentional or not so wherever the ruling lies it will always generate speculation and moaning. the second part is on the unnatural position of players arms, so many people go on about it like they want to see players playing with their arms strapped to their sides just incase the ball hits them and even then you see some people complaining when it hits an arm where if an arm wasnt there it was gonna hit the centre of their body like the arm made any difference, and on defenders jockeying opponents with arms behind their back, that is purely because they know if a ball hits them (even if its kicked at 50mph+ from 0.4 yards away) its seen as a handball if it doesnt look he is counting change in his pocket, its one of the stupidest things in football just players being terrified of the rules. If this exact incident happened in the middle of the pitch at 0-0 nobody would even waste their breath with this conversation. Just because a goal came from it (unfortunate for spurs fans, bitter pill) doesnt mean that it should be returned as a foul, that would set an awful precedent. I don't think they are perfect but the way the handball rule is written for disallowing goals i think is the best we can hope for unfortunately, just fyi for anyone immediate doesnt mean soon or quickly or without losing the ball it literally means from the hand either directly into the goal or in a situation where the ball is controlled by the same player who then shoots and scores.
also i dont disagree with you sometimes players will make themselves bigger and try to get away with it, but if the rule was just if it struck a hand/arm of a player intentional or not leads to a foul, players would just be encouraged to deliberately kick the ball at hands/arms when they dont have a better option and since that would always lead to a free kick or penalty if they dont miss it is not something anyone would want to encourage
My problem with this is more on what the refs are doing. That handball is called as a free kick 10/10 times if its not leading to a big chance. But now the referees are told to let play go and then VAR Will look at it. BUT HOW Can you as a referee look at that situation and not just Award a free kick immediately??? Then VAR Can check and find some niche part of the lad that says its not a handbal
Bizarre VAR thing happened on Dec 20th in the Dutch league (RKC - PEC Zwolle). In the final minute of a 1-1 match, PEC scores 1-2 from a (sloppy taken) short corner. Per VAR advice, the goal is dissallowed for offside. But you can't be offside from a corner kick... crazy.
According to the rules its not handball hence why VAR did not over turn the goal, you can have issue with the rule and debate that but the call by the ref and VAR was correct.
Not at all, it’s still the referee and VAR team’s interpretation of the arm or hand being by the body. The inconsistency is insane and if folks like you continue to accept this it will never be fixed!
@navykeef the rule was applied correctly in this instance just because its been applied incorrectly in other instances does not make this decision wrong.
Man your intros always put a smile on my face. Trim is solid 💪
Even if VAR decides it was not a deliberate handball, if it gave an advantage it should be called back for a drop ball.
Much more reasonable than what Zealand is suggesting.
Based on what rule?
Didn't they already establish that if a player from the attacking team touches the ball with his arm no matter his position (as long as his hand is not stuck to his body) it would be considered handball?
@@ghxst.frevk0there was a rule a few years ago, but they were going back up to a minute before a goal to disallow goals the ball being smashed into someone's arm. But they got rid of it because it was completely stupid.
@sammmB9 I think it was a really good rule as long as they check the play since the team got possession of the ball, which is exactly what this situation would've been
Laws of the game say not intentional and didn't stop a shot on goal, so it's not handball. Blame the laws, not VAR. In the De Ligt instance his hand stopped the ball heading towards the goal, do penalty awarded - again, the right decision. Again blame the laws not VAR.
What has always pissed me off about handball calls is it seems there are different rules for attacking / defending teams, different rules for inside the box vs outside the box, and different rules one week to the next. There's 0 consistency.
If you look at the photo from which the thumbnail is cropped, Joelinton and Bergvall are in almost identical poses - one trying to close the ball down, the other trying to make a pass after a poor touch.
The handball doesn't put the ball in the back of the net and it doesn't get credited with the assist - how many passes are required before it alone can no longer be responsible for the goal? The defending team (Spurs in this case) need their players to be more accountable for their poor touches, poor passing/clearance, poor defending and poor goalkeeping that follows that allowed Newcastle to put the ball in the back of the net.
It shouldn't matter if it leads to a goal or not, a handball is a handball is a handball is a handball
@@Zealandism No, thats factually your opinion and not the rules. You can write it as many times you want, yell it from the rooftops, tattoo it on your weewee or even make it apart of your wedding-woves, it still would only be your opinion and nothing less.
The players themselves asked for a solution to move away from your line of thinking, because it did not work as intended. This current one might not be perfect, and tbh its still up to interpretation which in turn leads to bias from judges affecting it, but believe you me, its alot better than it used to be when refs didnt dare to make calls against the bigger teams due to their rabid fans and sometimes rabid players potentially going after them mid match. Now atleast var makes that burden shared instead of the ref taking the entire blame.
@@larslnskog7580 I love the part of the rule books that say its only a handball when it matters
2:45 This is the only point you need. It doesn't matter if it made his profile bigger or was intentional or whatever. Led to a goal, therefore it must be given as handball
To be clear, it's only handball because it directly resulted in a goal for his team. **Had it resulted in anything else, it wouldn't be handball.**
It hit his hand and influenced the game. That should be how the rule works. In other sports that's how prohibited body parts are rules
Except Dan Burn then got called for a handball for the exact same thing a few minutes later in the middle of the pitch when it didn't lead to a goal.
@@bryce354no goal and var wasn’t involved. When it’s from VAR, they can only call it a handball if the player that handballed it went on to score. That player can’t then pass the ball and receive it to score he has to iust score. Because Linton passed the ball it can’t be called as it counts as during the build up, it doesn’t matter it was just before the pass.
That’s how this rule hasn’t worked for the past year not just this season btw. Not saying it’s how it should be saying how it is
The rulebook literally states that if an attacking players accidental handball precedes another player scoring it will be awarded. Ref made correct decision
@@Lo33y_ That is the d*mbest thing I’ve ever heard.
vamoss you dont look homeless no more🤩 you just look broke🤝
just joking you look great buddy
The haircut does indeed work with the battering ram. Well done to the Turkish man.
What really weirded me out about this was Dan Burn getting a yellow card for hands in a similar situation mere minutes later...make that make sense
He didnt get a yellow for handball just a freekick against him and his arm was not at his side it was out stretched .
As an American I love seeing these uploads pop up at midnight
Imagine not knowing the rules and making a video about how the refs applying the rules correctly is somehow wrong, couldn't be me
Zealand I’m a Newcastle fan so biased but the decision is correct based off the rulebook. It’s accidental and so the rules state if it immediately then precedes someone else scoring, the goal is given. That said I know if this was given against me I’d be raging. Ultimately ref made the correct decision but rules should be looked at
I've watched Serie A for over 2 decades now and I can guarantee you that handball is given 100 times out of 100. It wouldn't even go to VAR because the referee blows for a foul before that. I'm convinced there are different rules in different leagues for things like this
@milaninter2442 there are different rules for different leagues. The rule I’m referring to is straight from the premier league website. I don’t necessarily agree with the rule but the ref did make the right decision
@@keelans5230 Yeah but that should never be considered the right decision, it's a clear handball and hopefully the PL work on that.
@ I agree mate, I would assume they’ll rework the rules because they’re too ambiguous atm
@@keelans5230 What you're missing in your bias here, is that if the ref had given the handball himself, on the field, no one bats an eye. PGMOL wouldn't say he made the wrong decision to call that a handball.
Also, the fact that the player who shoots can't accidentally handball, but the player who assists can, is silly in the first place. It's easily exploitable. You use your hand to control the ball, but you make sure you don't be the one to score, and VAR won't interfere.
I didn't watch the game, I haven't finished this video, but that's not a foul.
You need to understand that the rules clearly state that if the ball was shot into the hand or arm that remained stationary relative to the body and close to it, it's not handball. Now if the hand was above the head, or his arms stretched out, that would be a different story. This is what we call in Portugal "bola na mão". It was an accidental hand touch and the athlete had no time to react and get it out of the way.
Also he was not "using his arms to make himself bigger". We're all different, we all have different center of gravity points. It's not like he intentionally moved his arm after the shot. No, the arm was already there.
Edit: Jesus! The more I watch you argue, the more I feel you do not understand this simple set of rules. If this was Abel Xavier's handball in 2000, we'd have a lot to argue about, but this isn't remotely close! Again, you're misinterpreting the rules. It's your opinion, it's fine I respect that. But you are wrong!
No there is no precedent set, this has happened more times than you and I can count. That's the reason why there are exceptions in the rule book. Seriously, go read it! xD
If the ref called a handball everyone would be screaming that his arm was in a natural position. The refs have specifically amended the rule to allow for natural arm positions after speaking with all the clubs, players and managers in the league. Joelintons arm was in a natural position. The ref has done exactly what people have been asking for them to do for years and people are now complaining about that too. Watch The Overlap episode that has Howard Webb as a guest and he explains it better than I can, but this call is as a direct result of asking the players what they want.
If the boot was on the other foot Newcastle fans would be crying bloody murder too.
people wanted "natural arm position" to not be called handball in the kind of instance where a defender has his arms at his sides and the ball hits their arm. Joelinton's arm was nowhere near his side, and before you reply saying "how's he supposed to run with his arms at his sides", it doesn't matter. It's his responsibility to not touch the ball with his hand, and its the ref's responsibility to blow the play dead because Gordon's goal was assisted by a hand. This situation is not what anyone was asking for. Handball by an offensive player leading to goal should always be called, natural arm position doesn't matter
@@TwoPoachedEggs You can not have a rule implemented differently in different parts of the pitch. That makes no sense.
@@trippydrew8492 Yes it does. Rules of football are by definition, implemented differently in different parts of the pitch. Such as a foul in the box resulting in a penalty and one out of the box resulting in a free kick. Or the different standards for what is considered a foul in the box vs out of the box. When a defensive player handballs in their box, a penalty is awarded. This obviously wouldn't happen if they handball in the opposition box. Need I go on?
@@trippydrew8492 An unintentional offensive handball that results in a goal is supposed to be called back for a drop ball. The rule for offensive/defensive handball is so clearly different.
Sour grapes this. Gordon got assaulted in the box and there wasn’t a pen called - this was arms down by his side and ball blasted at him from close range - spurs player shouldn’t have whacked it at him simple as
Hours later the VAR accepted a head clash penalty against Arsenal as well, something i've never seen in my life. The Premier leagues var is complete bullshit
I prefer the champions league rule set where if it touches an arm/hand in any way, shape or form that leads to a goal it's ruled out. The tricky bit with the FA rule set is that it's got a lot of wiggle room for handball based on arm position and timing (ie. were you so close that you couldn't get your hand out of the way), all VAR needs is the slightest inkling that it's within the referees discretion and they wipe their hands of the matter
The thing is if that was in the box... Would you be happy if it's a penalty?.... Newcastle gained an advantage which doesn't feel right.... But that can't be given as a penalty (if it was in the box) hands by his side so I think it's the correct decision no hand ball goal stands
As a newcastle fan, it is a little hard to accept this but I do agree that the goal should have been over turned
What makes it worse for me is that in the same half the ref blew for a foul when burn did the exact thing to stop a spurs counter and he was already on a yellow yet didn't get a red
They can't even be consistent for 45 fucking minutes
If VAR called the ref to the screen as they should've he would've disallowed it
Gotta disagree. Arms are in a normal position/movement for running, and Joelinton doesn't make a motion toward the ball. But they do need to pick a standard and stick to it, because it seems like they have different rules or "points of emphasis" every year.
don’t understand how this is any different to if it happens in their own box, he knows nothing about it and his hands are by his side. wouldn’t be a pen
Brentford handballed it against Newcastle in the box and it wasn't given so dont act like it's never happened in the box before 🙈
Zealand are you going to talk about Jude dumping out the keeper’s water? Dude has an attitude problem in general.
That trim suits ya man. Barber done a great job
I’m surprised you can show twitter clips without getting it immediately blocked world wide
Can't fault players for having arms, the spurs player played a bad pass, joelinton couldn't have moved his arm out of the way that quick from that close. 1000% not intentional. Therefore 100% not a foul. Why not cover the actual bad decisions in the game and not the only one VAR got right. Smh
Ange thinking they would've won that game should be the bigger headline.
1m bucks says he DID NOT think the Gordon nose crusher was penalty and red!
pathetic
Wingin' a haircut is crazy😭
We need a return to Zep Guardiola baldness
Rich pickings this weekend with VAR deciding that Saliba winning a header for Arsenal was a penalty. How long did they check it for? Less than 5 seconds because, what's the point of checking at all? As a former referee it infuriates me that the Premier League officials (including those on VAR) are either utterly clueless or taking money for decisions. Turns out Nunez took out a player with his shoulder last night in the Man Utd game and.......nothing given.
Thank you for calling it out again. We've got a refereeing crisis in the EPL, they've never been as bad as this.
Saliba only won the header for heading Joao Pedro's head. He came no where near the ball
@@williamcross210 That doesn't make any sense. The ball touched Saliba who'd aimed his header for where the ball was when Pedro got there first. Totally accidental, not a foul.
And, if Taylor thought Pedro had sustained a head injury, he's broken the laws of the game by not stopping play (regardless of whether he's given a penalty or not) and getting medical staff on the pitch. Luckily it was the slightest of contacts so Pedro jumped to his feet and was fine as soon as the referee blew for a penalty.
The haircut is fire and I'm not joking
I think this was the right call. We can’t expect players to have their arms glued to their bodies all the time while running around. To me, that is what’s not natural.
That hairline is putting on a worst performance than Trent did yesterday
Scrap VAR altogether. Yesterday.
That being said, I have got no idea what counts as a handball and what doesn't anymore.
As a hairdresser, Cut looks great! Nice and short on the sides but keeping it classic. No silly attempts to cover the forehead. Makes you look confident
Its like Handball doesn't exist anymore
I've watched it several times now and at full speed there is absolutely no way you're going to convince me THAT is a hand ball. Look how close the the player is who kicks it at him and what speed, what do you want him to do, cut off his arms?! Anyone who's even played 5 a side knows you cannot get out of the way of that.
Instead of big Ange bemoaning decisions like this maybe he needs to accept his team just cannot play out from the back and HIS tactics cost them that goal.
If you take time to read the pgmol rulebook. it doesnt matter if it leads to the goal unless Joelinton scores the goal himself without the ball touching another outfield player first.
As a Forest fan, you kind of need to revisit this given the incident in the Forest - Wolves match where something very similar happens, and VAR deicdes it is not a penalty. It was definitely that "one out of a hundred" moment. Fortunately it didn't matter to the result.
0:36 he says memes, my ears heard means.
I'm sorry, but if you are calling arms by the side as handball you've lost the plot. No. That wouldn't be given as a penalty and if it was THEN VAR would have "lost the plot". The Tino Livramento handball against PSG last year was exactly that and UEFA admitted it was a mistake to be given as a pen. We literally have the exact same situation as an admitted mistake when it happened in the box and was given as a pen.
People have hands. Unless you want to cut the hands off every footballer on the face of the earth, we just need to accept that as a fact of life and stop being idiots. Unless there is clear intent or the hands are being held up like a bloody spirit bomb... It shouldn't be handball.
SO. By the laws of the game, the decision made by VAR is correct. The handball is accidental, and while it does lead directly to the build up of the goal, because Joelinton is not the player that scored, and the handball also wasn't the direct assist, as the ball came to Bruno Guimaraes, who then passed it on to Gordon, the goal counts. If Joelinton was the goalscorer directly after this, the goal would have correctly been ruled out. If the referee had seen the ball hit his hand before the ball went in the net, he would have blown for a freekick, like he did with Dan Burn later in the half, and we wouldn't be having this debate. But since he didn't, and the goal happened, VAR cannot overturn that decision. I don't necessarily agree with the handball rule, I think it should just be one set parameter of "If this happens, it is handball", accidental or not. I don't know what that parameter should be, probably below the elbow if the players arms aren't specifically behind their back, but I'm not an FA rulemaker. Now, all of this to say that this decision, while controversial, was a correct one by VAR. Now, you have to look at some of the other decisions made IN THE SAME GAME. Firstly, there was a shout for a Joelinton elbow. I personally didn't see much in it, I thought the movement of both players was pretty natural, but I would not have been surprised to see it pulled back and a card given, or looked at by VAR. Dominic Solanke collided with Martin Dubravka fairly early in the second half, and how that wasn't looked at I don't know, his knee makes contact with Dubravka's head. It was correctly given as a foul, but if we're debating natural position of body parts, then Solanke was in a largely unnatural position considering they're 6ft in the air and his knee is in Dubravka's face, it's at the very least reckless. Then there was the Anthony Gordon penalty shout. This to me, is an absolutely outrageous decision. The referee had a good view and waved it on, okay fine, doesn't see it clearly enough, then he pulled it back 10 seconds later for a head injury as Gordon had blood gushing from his newly broken nose. It was then looked at by VAR and nothing was given, which was ridiculous, especially as later in the half, a much tamer block from Botman was instantly blown for a freekick and a booking given. Then to add insult to injury, later in the day, in Arsenal v Brighton, Saliba gives away a penalty after going for a header and coming into contact with Joao Pedro. The contact from Kulusevski may be accidental, but so was the contact from Saliba. Why was one given as a penalty and one wasn't? This is the real issue with VAR, the fact that 2 essentially identical incidents, accidental contact with the head of an opposition player in the box, can result in different decisions. I am a Newcastle fan, but there were more pressing issues with the refereeing in this game than this handball incident, that by the rules of the game, written the way they are, was decided correctly. The rules do need to be made more clear in the case of incidents like this though, to avoid these sorts of debates every time a ball hits a hand on whether it's deliberate or not. And to be clear, I would also be fairly annoyed if this happened against us, whether the rules make it possible or not, so I understand the position of Spurs fans here.
Poor bergvall, having the best game of his career in what must be close-to his first premier league start. Giving away that pass (even though it was illegally palmed down) is what lots of people will remember. They'll say he's too green, they'll say anges tactics are too risky etc etc. All because of a VAR mistake
Just frustrating to see while spurs are in this injury crisis. We simply cannot handle any more bad luck right now.
Anything that gives the brain-dead 'ange-out' crowd ammo is annoying, of course, but for it to be a VAR mistake that cost us the draw/win. Infuriating.
EXACTLY my point & look at what happened with Arsenal / Brighton game??? I'm a Spurs fan and the reason it was a goal is because the Spurs players were distracted by the handball...it pissed me off to see a double standard...
Do you even know the rules of football it was ball to hand not hand to ball it wasn't it foul the ref got it right end of. You have no clue about football

Cleancut mate cheers 🍻
Shaqiri ahh haircut
The thing is in the new VAR rules this season they have said that if the players arm isn't in a unatural position and they don't have the time to move it, it's not a handball. Stupid I know, but it's the rules 🤷
99,9% a Penalty… and there is Germany-Spain
If the ball deflected onto his arm, sure, no handball, but how does inhibiting the path of the ball not count as handball? It hit his hand and then that meant it switched to Newcastle's possession. I'm not a spurs fan but since when did handball not mean the hand blocking the ball?
His arm is in a natural position. It's only ever a handball when your arm is somewhere it isnt supposed to be. Welcome to football. The only time it is called as a foul is if Joelinton then scores a goal directly from it without the ball touching another player
The real stupidity is how there's always people out there on the interwebs defending the refereeing on a technicality even if it directly contradicts a decision made an hour earlier in a different game.
And while also ignoring that the intent doesn’t matter when it leads to a goal
@@asapaul7671only if it's the goalscorer...
1:46 so in a game which was 2-1, the manager said they would’ve won, when they would’ve still drawn 1-1 with the goal disallowed, and you saw nothing wrong with this?
This isn't a VAR issue. VAR and the on field ref both got the decision correct - they applied the rules correctly to the situation. The rule can be questioned in a circumstance like this, but not VAR. They did their job correctly
This reminds me of the Messi handball against Netherlands 😭😭
That same call has been made in the past IN the penalty box at the European Championships match Spain v Germany. So the precedent has been established on much higher international level already. That being said: VAR is an absolute abomination and needs to be cancelled.
Nice trim but who doesn’t get one before a holiday and gets one immediately after coming back?😭
You cannot be a serious commentator on the subject of football if you think that is a foul. Why would VAR get involved when the ref is 15 feet away and seen it clear as day? VAR would NEVER overrule this call in a million years.
This nonsense would stop if we would allow hand touching the ball, but you could not play ball with hand or score with hand.
The barber cooked
Haircut is fine. I approve!
When do you visit Istanbul?
As a Spurs fan I feel like if I say anything people always point out the Liverpool offside last season.
They conveniently forgot the Mendes goal against Man United pre VAR.
4 videos about Spurs in a week is crazy
Zealand got a haircut but gained a forehead
correct, that was handball.
I agree with you Zea, but its a Uefa indication that if the arm is pointed down and in a “natural position” there is no foul. We saw the same at the Euros with cucurella. Do I think it should be a foul/pen, yes, but its a Uefa rule, not VARs fault, they are just following what they’ve been told. The bone to pick here is with Uefa.
looking fresh z
The worstpart was dan burn later in the match doinb somethings worse and not getting a second yellow
What about Dan burns handball later. He moved his hand to the ball on a yellow, stopping a break, but got nothing
I played as a CB and had a game where I had 3 handballs given in 3 games in a row and each time was because as part of a free kick wall I jumped with my hands swinging upwards towards my chest and the ball hit my hand before my chest which is so dumb because if my hands weren't there then the ball just hits me anyway
michael oliver single handedly denied manchester united 2 extra points at anfield last night aswell...these refs are an absolute joke
Outfield, just give free kick on handball, automatically. Whether or not it's accidental. In the penalty area. Tricky. Aiming at the hand complicates matters more here. If Ref not sure. Drop ball.
The locks are much improved :)
a delectable haircut indeed
You only make videos for decisions about Newcastle 💀💀 you got a bet on them to go down or something?
Great take on the incident. Your barnet looks OK too.
Does the Turkish barber have any other things he can do ?
When the people here say that this isn't a handball according to the EPL rules, I believe them. But seeing a player get a clear advantage from a situation where a player used their hand (even if not deliberately) just feels wrong to me as a football fan.
Looking clean Z
It's amazing how the barber was able to pull of a 60/40 on Zealand. Not the hair tho...
