To me Kane's arm is fractionally further forward, so that the line hits Kane's arm just on the shoulder, whereas it hits Foden on the upper arm!EricBanterna said:
Perception, foden seems further forward because of where his hand is.O-Randy-Hunt said:
Although both are so close I'm sure VAR was for clear and obvious mistakes.
How could a ref call this and it be called a mistake1 -
This is correct, i did see the Kane one and Foden. At first glance i thought they were pretty much identical, however it was clearer. Just about angles, in Kanes case its the furthest part of the attacking body which they can legally score, with the defenders furthest back. Its a bit confusing and not sure why its constantly changing, it used to be a clear offside/onside.killerandflash said:

VAR creates a debate even when its used correctly, as its always open to interpretation. Also its a bit silly the rule regarding a clear and obvious error, that creates the grey area imo.0 -

Apparently a better/less clickbait translation of the quotes.

Didn't realise Dale Stephens was at Burnley now.0

Means nothing but how was that not a pen against Maguire 😂 he literally had one arm around the back and the other pulling the front of the shirt to the ground.Next week you’ll see exactly the same and a pen will be given.This is why VAR is shit.0

Another debatable decision goes City's way. Penalty in my view.0

could argue it both ways but the ball changing direction wasnt even mentioned by Keown & Co. You can see why the ref didnt give it.philcafc said:Another debatable decision goes City's way. Penalty in my view.
As much as I dislike the Gooners, they've been excellent first 28 mins. Not seen commitment like this from them for years.2 - Sponsored links:

In real time I thought pen, odeegard was clearly waiting for the contact with the hope of moving the ball away at the last second. Ederson was too quick and for me gets the ball.When you consider the resources City have, still think they will win this but Arsenal are proving that getting up to 4th has been no fluke.0

Possibly a pen but why wasn't he told to look at the other penalty decision? Am I the only one thinking that City are getting more than their share of debatable decisions going their way?4

Hmm... Yeah its a debatable penalty.
Gets rejected as often as it gets given that sort of foul0 -
He’s in full salmon mode when Xhaka pulls the shirt.1

Haha... Thats what you get for scuffing the penalty spot
Fully deserved for the first book5 -
Arsenal going full Charlton here. Play very well and just implode on a dodgy decision

Arsenal had looked superb first half and then a funny few minutes and they are looking like they'll throw this away (1-3 please, need those 3 points)0

Also going back to this. At half time, the studio analysed a slow motion replay from an angle that clearly shows Ederson actually got nothing on the ball. Why was that replay not looked at on the VAR review?philcafc said:Possibly a pen but why wasn't he told to look at the other penalty decision?

Rodri giving it to the arsenal fans is already 2022 best moment5
-
Ref turned the game into a farce.
Absolutely no consistency and just booked Arsenal players when he felt like it.2 -
Arsenal very hard done there.0
-
Rodri should have had two yellows. One for the shirt off, the other for goading Arsenal fans. It was funny though0

Arsenal getting booking for touching Man City players but the most dangerous tackle of the game (Rodri booting Martinelli 10 foot into the air) wasnt even a foul.
Both pens were penalties, only one looked into.
Rodri making about 5 fouls for no cards but Holding booked for the first one he makes coming on by touching De Bruyne's arm.
There really needs to be a look at English referees, they are the worst referees in the world. They cant even use VAR correctly by being spoonfed replays in slow mos.1 -

Edit: Gah! Dodgy internet so got beaten to it. Damn you @DaveMehmet !2 -
Even the ref on BT doesn't have a clue!
Dive = foul
No dive = no foul.
Rewarding players for diving. Refs are a waste of space. Bin them all.

Peter Walton getting rinsed on BT and it proves, officials who are meant to know the rules don’t even have a clue themselves.0

Officials have never known the laws, ask yourself this, when in the last 20+ years have you seen a referee give an indirect free kick for obstruction? In fact, when have you seen a ref, recently, correctly indicate a free kick is indirect by raising their arm?
The obstruction law is still in the book, but referees consistently give direct free kicks and penalties for obstruction, deeming it a "body check" when it is no such thing in the majority of cases.0
