That was a penalty for both pulling the shirt and handball
It is hilarious, they are looking at those slomos of the guy full on grabbing the opponents shirt and go "Nah that is not a hand ball, no penalty for me"The only way that wasn't a penalty is if the refs think that pulling someone's shirt is a "natural position".
Howard Webb “but it’s not VARs fault as the ref had a view of it and VAR can’t tell him to look again” or some bollox like thatThe only way that wasn't a penalty is if the refs think that pulling someone's shirt is a "natural position".
You see, it would have been bad for Liverpool if it was given. That's how.Someone explain how some of these aren’t Given as pens, but City got the one against United for an arm on a guy??

He doesn’t even try to hide it which is what makes Neville’s anti-United position even weirder.Does Carragher wear a Liverpool top while he’s commentating?
For giving objective takes? Weird thing to sayLots of closet city fans around here
Makes sense now. You're a city fan!That’s never a penalty that. I wish it was - but it wasn’t.
I am not saying they played great. I'm talking specifically about their technical level.Yeah let’s not overstate their performance.
They’re playing a solid defensive game and trying to hit City on the counter, with immediate through balls.
Nah, just a lot of people who would (justifiably) rather see a team of the damned captained by Shipman and coached by Hitler win the league than Liverpool.Lots of closet city fans around here
Think you mean there are a lot of fans around here that don't want Liverpool to win the PL.Lots of closet city fans around here

Thought you were excellent first half, game kinda changed when Pep actually put on a 2nd midfielder but you could have been 2 up on the counter before said change. Hung on a bit at the end but I feel you'd have been hard done by to come away with nothing.Rather fortunate point.
Pretty obvious the league are even more desperate for Liverpool to win the title than usual this year. Klopp farewell tour.
May as well. He's paid to be a Liverpool superfan so I expect he's wearing the shorts and socks too. Micah Richards might be the only one that's worse and he's a club ambassador. I think Sky will eventually just stick youtubers on its coverage. Robbie from AFTV wouldn't be much different from Richards.Does Carragher wear a Liverpool top while he’s commentating?
They must have decided it wasn't a handball and then just pretended not to see the foul.It is hilarious, they are looking at those slomos of the guy full on grabbing the opponents shirt and go "Nah that is not a hand ball, no penalty for me"
I would be really curious to hear the excuse. I have no idea what it could be because it's so obvious though.Howard Webb “but it’s not VARs fault as the ref had a view of it and VAR can’t tell him to look again” or some bollox like that
The handball questionable, the movement might have been sanctioned, but he wasn't looking at the ball. It looks like a reflex movement.Handball because he literally nudged the ball forward with his forearm. Foul because they’re showing the defender with a handful of his shirt as he’s pulling him down. Neither given.
Thought exactly the same
