Has dixon recovered yet? Sounded like he went into a seizure when United got the pen
Don't worry, the rule is apparently wrong according to some peopleWhy did grealish put his arm back up?
I wasn't really complaining, I didn't even see the handball. I'm glad it sealed our 7-0 cup.Literally won your only PL title in the year VAR was introduced.
Twisting out of the previous jump, an inadvertent movement of the body. Maybe can be interpreted possibly intentional in slow mo.Why did grealish put his arm back up?

He’s a woeful referee. I don’t even think he sets out to be this bad, it comes naturally to him.I am seeing this angle for the first time… This actually looks like a pen. Unfortunate maybe. But the movement of the hand changes the trajectory of the ball completely. Going by the rules looks like a VAR check at least… And why does Taylor look like he is saying that the hand is stuck to the body? It’s obviously not.

These decisions should only ever be slowed down to establish contact. It changes the view of it from a split-second attempt to get his hand out of the way to something deliberateI am seeing this angle for the first time… This actually looks like a pen.

It's as much of a pen as the Grealish one is.I am seeing this angle for the first time… This actually looks like a pen. Unfortunate maybe.

It's really not beacuse the law is very specific on a hand above the head rarely being natural and is always a penalty (unless the player's arm came up above as a consequence of a tackle etc). See the Shaw penalty against Brighton which everyone agreed was a stonewall penalty.It's as much of a pen as the Grealish one is.
This.This is a penalty as the rules currently stand. The refs did nothing wrong, but the rule is daft. Common sense says this should never be a penalty, but they have put a rule in such a way that this should get called every time. When you are going up for a ball and coming down, the movements of the arms are a little bit unpredictable. It depends how balanced you are going in and coming down. Your arms can actually go back up as a balancing reaction not as a blocking the bal instinct. Stupid rule...period.
So it was not a VAR issue. VAR did its job.
Grealish? He isn’t just coming down, he’s sort of spinning around.This is a penalty as the rules currently stand. The refs did nothing wrong, but the rule is daft.

Lee Dixon on commentary called it one of the worst ref decisions he's ever seen, no surprise he's a Man City fanIf England get a penalty like that in the future. Guarantee we won't be hearing from Lineker, Jenas, Richards et all about how the "rule" is ridiculous and needs changing.
His hands were up ffs
They won't need to cheat. They'll be 2-0 up inside the first 15 mins.We need the refs and VAR to be bang on form tonight to ensure City cant use their usual cheating tactics, hopefully tbings like Grealish's diving and Rodri's delibrate fouling wont be allowed to go unpunished.
Did everything he could to keep his hands tucked into his body and then as he turned they naturally came a few inches out, scandalous decision that will be forgotten about in 5 mins.Never a handball or 2nd penalty that, his hands were tooked in to his chest and it was close proximity.
Wrong decision by the ref and VAR.
Why it is retaken though?Mateu Lahoz is having a mare tonight. He’s refereeing France v Greece, and missed quite a lot of penalties for France during the first half.
He finally gave one now, but only after VAR review of a high boot in Griezmann’s face from a greek defender. The greek defender still only got a yellow…
Apparently foot not on the line… Fortunately it’s Lahoz last game before he retiresWhy it is retaken though?
