nah... Tanguy should've aim for defenders arm instead of crossing into the box. Thats probably why ref missed it.
Im pretty sure we were saying this after Sissokos you know what
i am just pissed off at new handball rule. just dumb...
It's somehow more annoying to agree with him.
Badge of honour, mate!
Still think if Peter Bankes isn’t a fucking coward and had the professional pride to actually read and remember the laws of the game he’s refereeing, no penalty. He seems to have gotten away with this howler with the narrative of it’s a crazy law, but it’s all in the application of it. He could have easily asked to see more, asked to see it again, and clearly not given it and he would have been well within the laws as stated and discussed above. But he chose not to.
Therefore he deserves the outrage/effigy etc more than the laws (which are being interpreted)

Thats not a dig at you..... Could very well be the attitude of the refs atm.... More concerned with appeasing their paymasters than what's logical.
I missed this as i turned off after the Dier Pen, why wasn't this given how is it different to what Dier did?
The benefit of the doubt should always go to the innocent unless proved guilty. That ref's decision has been widely condemned although most are blaming the rules and not him but from reading the rules I felt he could have come to either decision and have 4 people agreeing with me. Other posters are saying much more.
Perhaps explain where you think I'm disagreeing with you?
You still come across like you think I'm at odds with your post.
I am disagreeing with your comment if in doubt give it. As I said it should be the opposite if in doubt do not give it.
I'm suggesting what I suspect is the refs mindset; not my own opinion..... That should be more than obvious given my follow up post.
Anthony Taylor appointed referee for the United game.
I don't see how appointing a Manchester local as the referee for a game vs United will affect us. Do you?

Just trying to imagine the referee getting home from the match and his wife saying "What the fuck is wrong with you ? That was never, ever a penalty, even me and our 6 year old could see that. You dickhead."
He gave it for the victims next of kin as he should....
Just re-watched the highlights on MOTD2, trying to objective :
The foul given against Hojbjerg when the ball was played into the box for the penalty was questionable to say the least, the penalty decision itself is ridiculous.
If the Newcastle penalty was correct, then the incident with Ndombele and Lascelles was possibly worth one also.
I’m surprised that when Davies kicked the ball against Hojbjerg to concede a corner a penalty wasn’t given.
