@theshirtsearch@kvlmason Well, we were denied the equaliser against Arsenal because Trossard fouling Pablo & pushing him into Raya was deemed as happening before the ball was in play too. The refs are equally as bad to us, bar those going for the title.
@theshirtsearch@kvlmason No, it proves he was already on the ground. Imagine having such a lack of faith in your team getting a single point at home to stay up in the final game, you have to argue for a penalty for a player lying on the ground from a foul made when the ball was out of play π
@theshirtsearch@kvlmason Fortunately one of your fans shared this screenshot with me which shows Cucurella had both hands planted on the ground. Not a rugby tackle by this point. It would have been a penalty 100% if van de Ven had stayed on his feet for a second longer.
@BHardman@philmcnulty So you want VAR to spend more time when a goal is scored from a corner checking in minute detail if one of half a dozen players is leaning or standing in the 6 yard box?
@TC38534491@kvlmason The foul is grappling. Cucurella has BOTH his hands planted on the ground. How desperate are you to just improvise an argument? I thought van de Ven was still standing upright when the ball was crossed in, according to you?
@TC38534491@kvlmason Cucurella is not pushing him at this point. His arms are on him because where else would they be in this moment? If you're grappling & the fouled player falls with you on top, you will never get your arms off of him. Have you ever played a sport before? Or do you just watch?
@TC38534491@kvlmason Made yourself look stupid. Originally claiming he was still standing up. When shown he was on the ground & the ball hadn't been kicked yet, you change tack and say the foul is 'nowhere near over'. It wasn't a penalty according to the laws of the game.
@TC38534491@kvlmason Precisely. Not even in the air yet. Compared to the frame you're sharing where he is already lying down on his face, with Cucurella on his back. Nice try though. Your claim that he was still upright clearly wrong from watching the video in slowmo but here you are still arguing
@paddy_griffiths@kvlmason It didn't continue when the ball was in play. He was hitting the ground. The foul had finished. When do you think a grappling offence finishes? When the fouled player has lost control of his legs and hitting the ground maybe? π
@paddy_griffiths@kvlmason And you are posting incorrect info from 'Kerrie' about the ball not being in play. So even you know it wasn't crossed in when van de Ven fell to the ground.
