Penalties! the 'handball' has now been tightened (rightly in my view) so correct decision. The whoa is me after thought, after tackle, planting of foot showed intention to go down. The only baffling one is through the back of the lad and the ref claiming Young made ball contact made worse by VAR seemingly agreeing with the ref. Having said that though, we would have claimed all three. This has to have been the worse season yet for VAR, the Prem making up their own Accounting rules and PSR punishments on the hoof. After 70 odd years of football enthusiasm, Masters in his desperation has ruined it for me.

Everton are expecting an additional 4 point deduction due to their involvement in the VAR penalty fiasco.

Defenders know now that they have to keep their arms to there sides or behind there back when trying to block crosses. Unfortunately Young is not a defender, he’s a liability.

Oh yeah they go into block or tackle with their arms by their sides or behind backs. That was not a penalty.

I think the differences of opinion on the handball scenatii on this site probably excuses the VAR team from changing the refs decision. I am still not sure about it, as I can't seem to get my head around the handball penalty situation. Not sure handball would be given outside the penalty area though.

Actually dfs he’s right the good ones do. His arm being out prevented the cross coming in, it was a pen.

Respect your opinion mate (from comments done a bit). My take is his arm not in an unnatural position and ball hit arm ricochet. I don't ever remember tackling or covering with arms by my side or God forbid behind my back. Unnatural position, jeez turning into table football.
