I saw that asked too, its an interesting one cos he gets the shot off but he's definitely taken out

you could make an argument that the tackle has no impact on the play but then when you pair that with the idea that sigurdson sat on the floor does impact the play it starts to sound a bit harsh

Barcelona were awarded an almost identical penalty over the weekend.

Our one was even less a penalty than their but apparently handball has a new definition now.

Yes ref gave it no cl;ear and obvious error. VAR got it right

How isn't that a clear and obvious error?

It doesn't touch his arm as the ref thought but rather his shoulder.

Ah yes, the shoulder, the famous part of the hand

I've been trying to get a pun in along the lines of 'arse and elbow', 'hand and shoulder' doesn't quite have the same RING.... here all week...

Didn't affect the outcome of the game and we were well beaten but yet another example of why this cancerous system simply doesn't work. It basically just adds another level of inconsistency and nothing else.

Camera angle doesn’t it clearly for the refs decision to be overturned but  anyway didn’t effect the outcome of the game because they were so dominant

Did you see all the angles available to the VAR ref?
