pretty ridiculous that VAR would show a freeze frame and not the actual video... blatant corruption to show a freeze frame.

It still prevented clear goal. It's not the same when it's on the line, deliberate or not.Literally bounced onto his arm for crying out loud. There's a big difference between that and some purposely fisting the ball away.
Penalty, sure, but barely a yellow for me.
He didn't even look long enough to see it in motion in any case.pretty ridiculous that VAR would show a freeze frame and not the actual video... blatant corruption to show a freeze frame.
Wankerish comment.Tuchel looks like he has a cancer. I'm sorry but c'mon mate, get a pound or two.
Henderson runs up like a little bitch to get into Mendy's face and yet it is Mendy that gets the yellow. That is after giving Rudiger a yellow for legitimate pointing out the shit decision he just made.
If you are giving out yellows in that situation only picking out one team and not giving them out to everyone is pathetic.
So what you're saying is if the goal-scoring striker had better all around footballing skills then other players in the team could profit thus mitigating the naively projected drop in overall production? Is that what you're saying? Seems to be what you're saying.If Lukaku could make the right decisions in passing Chelsea could easily be up 3 here and Havertz could have a hattrick already.
If that's the rule fair enough but it's still harsh on James.It still prevented clear goal. It's not the same when it's on the line, deliberate or not.
Theae are the rules people.
sounds reasonable.When it's hand-ball that prevents a goal, I think they should change the rule so that a goal is automatically awarded (no need to take a penalty) but no red card for the player, just a yellow.
But meanwhile, hopefuly Chelsea go mega defensive now and hang on for a 1-1 draw,so we can go top of the league by beating Watford!
If that's the rule fair enough but it's still harsh on James.
However, you can also say he should be putting his arm behind him.
That's a red card because that would be a goal if he didn't blocked it with hand. Always have been red that. It'a not one on one where keeper ca save it, it's literally on the line.
Apparently players don't anymore.If that's the rule fair enough but it's still harsh on James.

Isn't a handball offence always deliberate technically?I am going off what the commentators said and they could certainly be wrong especially with how often they seem to be changing the hand ball rule, but they said if it wasn't an intentional hand ball which it clearly wasn't then it wasn't a red.
That doesn't apply if the hand blocks a clear goal. Maybe I'm wrong.I am going off what the commentators said and they could certainly be wrong especially with how often they seem to be changing the hand ball rule, but they said if it wasn't an intentional hand ball which it clearly wasn't then it wasn't a red.
No need to normally because the handball rule isn't insane like it was with Dier last season against Newcastle, but on the goal line he should be doing it.
