Incorrect. The goalie used his arms in an attempt to trip the attacker. There was contact, even the goalie admitted it. Stonewall.

Sure.

2445

This is worse than his stonewalling of Mick Wallace

2446

A bizarre take given that his extended arm which Mike claims he was using to trip Jota, made no contact at all… It was his bent elbow as he landed brushed off Jota

2447

Jota had his mind made up to go down. Sad really but that’s the game

2448

All modern players are coached to go down… That was taking it to an extreme.

2449

The level of lads seethe is so easy to measure here and its delicious!

Perverse incentives. A penalty is a huge reward more than 75% chance of a goal. Probably closer to 80% with Salah. You reward diving lads will dive.

I think we need to bring back indirect free kicks for the lesser offences. Mainly because indirect free kicks in the box are great craic

Lolz you’re looking at the wrong arm for the contact. Go look again like a good lad, check out the elbow of the non out stretched arm. That’s where the contact was. The goalie has admitted thete was contact yet you still maintain there was none.

2453

You said he tried to trip him… I already said his elbow brushed off him,? Why did it take hom two steps and five yards after contact to go down? :rofl:… And contact doesn’t mean a peno ffs. Didn’t Arsenal have a similar situation overturned?

2454

Pipe down. Even the goalie has no complaints.

He dived. Are you denying he dived?

2456

The opposition goalie doesn’t think so and that’s good enough for me.

From the referee’s POV:

  • The keeper made contact
  • Jota went down late but it might not have been obvious that it was a dive from where the ref was viewing - had to give it

From VAR’s POV:

  • the keeper made contact, it wasn’t a clear and obvious error, couldn’t overturn

Reality:

  • the keeper made contact, but Jota dived

A really helpful deconstruction of a controversial incident.

Thank you to @Fran.

Nobody could argue with it, partly because of its sheer blandness
