OutByEaster? Posted May 4 Moderator Share Posted May 4 Havertz is sliding his foot along the ground trying desperately to find the keepers leg - it's never a penalty - if it's a foul, it's committed by Havertz. That said, the challenge on Saka earlier might well have been red, so at least they're consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not a dive, is it? He's deliberately left his leg there but he hasn't dived. It's not a foul for me, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Havertz intentionally manufactured contact with the goalkeeper in an unnatural manner, with the aim of getting a penalty. VAR should take a harder look at this instead of microscopic offside decisions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a blatent dive, you do not drag your feet like that when running. I know it's not curruption, but people wonder why fans scream it. Referees in VAR can't really be this bad surely. Had to be that useless pussy Coote too didn't it Another piss off is, he most probably could have gone on and scored anyway. Arteta should be having a fit at that cheating, but I bet he teaches it.

It’s this type of nonsense that annoys normal supporters. If Havertz punched the keeper in the face and went down holding his hand would you say it’s not a dive because there was clearly contact? The rule should be who instigated the contact. Maybe a dive is the wrong terminology, simulation is better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a dive is the wrong terminology, simulation is better. It's the sort of thing Grealish did for his entire Villa career and we never had a problem with it. (Granted, I don't think he won many penalties - more just loads of free kicks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Just now, sne said: VAR keeping the title fight alive Again, I'm only on radio... but, unlike the penalty, everyone thought that should be a goal. It wasn't VAR keeping the title fight alive, though, the ref gave a foul on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted May 4 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 4 Three big decisions in the Arsenal game and pretty clear the ref got them all wrong - what's worse is that we then have an independent group of referees and they've all got the wrong too. Refereeing in this country isn't fit for purpose - we really should be farming our VAR out to someone else. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
