@spaulinnit Unless the push is deemed to be a foul, then the arm position is purely as a result of normal football contact. Therefore natural.
And there’s no obvious movement of arm to ball
@ChristinaUnkel Hey Christina, given that the Law 12 offence is “trips or attempts to trip”, I’m struggling to see how penalising Ream’s challenge is in any way an error, let alone an obvious one meriting a VAR intervention?!
@spaulinnit@RefsJourney To be fair Paul, the debate is not around the deliberateness of the play but about whether the defender’s ability to play the ball (as he would have wished) was impacted by the attacker’s obvious action
@WhistleBlowerDK David, I agree that this is not a DOGSO offence and a YC for SPA is appropriate. However, the four considerations are just that, things to be considered. They are not pass / fail criteria
@maxrushden It will just be dreadful.
I can’t say with certainty but I actually think this would be onside with the daylight rule due to Gabriel’s shoulder playing Pedro onside.
One point in our lives this ended.
We don't know how or when, but it did.
Without realising.
Now all we have are memories.
Wait for the drop...
Goosebumps, everytime.
