Lord VAR has gifted yet another “handball” to the people, be grateful
Ref caved in got pressured from players and crowds. Bad call.
Absolute disgrace . The fact that this penalty could prevent Newcastle from qualifying To R16 is disgusting.
Ref will probably end up chopped into pieces after the match.
The handball rule/decisions in Europe are fkn whack. Only a matter of time before this happened at a truly consequential moment
Man United - Copenhagen was a wild match but neither of those ‘should’ be hand balls if common sense is involved. Can’t remember the others off the top of my head but I’ve disliked pretty much every handball call I’ve seen in the CL this season
Time to act like a geordie and make up 45 reasons why this was a Penalty 🙂
u/SaveVideo
A bit tiring to see the same comment over and over : intent does not matter, hitting another part of the body does not matter : read rule 12 it’s easy to find (I just did because I thought the other body part was in the rule as well : it’s not it’s just a PL thing).
I do agree it’s harsh but the first handball earlier in the 2nd half should definitely have been given so in my biased opinion, it evens out.
Last thing, if I ever want someone to take this penalty, it’s Kylian. The lad just seems unfazed while 40k people are shitting themselves in the stands.
Same situation refereed completely differently by the VAR in the same game. The ref shouldn’t even have had to take a look at the Tino one because the outcome should have been no penalty after a couple of reviews.
Never a penalty. Absolutely ridiculous call and some home cooking in Paris
Reece James did the exact same thing in the 2021 UCL final and no penalty was given. Inconsistencies everywhere…
It’s funny how the same game is played with different rules every day.
Abolish pens (for obviously non deliberate handballs at the very least)
jesus christ this is horrible. Defenders need to get together and demand change. This is lunacy.
I was rooting for Newcastle. Then this happened. Absolutely horrible.
