Var favours UTD....

 

[Converge]

Seems weird you’re allowed to change the penalty taker.

 

[McBain]

Perfect for OGS he can blame the ref now for what has been an absolutely woeful performance.

 

[Martynt74]

Surely you can’t change taker?

Yeah, that’s going to be the story he’ll spin for sure.

People are going to need to get their head around the handball law quick. From this season the PL has fallen in line with UEFA for handballs.

 

[Ayahuasca]

It’s a dumb rule but you’ve been able to change the taker on penalty retakes for a long time now.

 

[Flaevius]

Never a pen if any level of common sense was utilised within the laws of the game. And Utd have fallen victim to the one time this season a GK will be punished for being slightly off his line. Same as encroachment into the box, it's made a focus early every season and is then forgotten after about two weeks.

Not that I'm complaining...

That's an absolute joke they can change the penalty taker. Dodgy decision on the penalty to begin with but you can't say United havent had some favourable decisions.

 

[adam cool dude]

Just aim for the hand in the box. Easy.

Seemsbizarre. It’s like us subbing Henderson on for the retake.

Same as attacker now that any hand ball is hand ball?

Well of course you'll agree with it as the stupid rule won you a European Cup.

 

[mmj_uk]

I don't see the problem with either penalty, if you've got your hand stuck out and block a shot it should be a penalty accident or not.. as for the retake if they're going to go by the absolute letter of the law and give players offside for 1mm then a keeper coming 1mm off their line shouldn't be allowed to stand either. I'd rather see some common sense personally.

Where'd he say he agrees with it?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Imagine being so slow you have to tell your midfielder who's ahead of you to get back and cover him. United need better than Maguire.

 

[BaZ87]

Not quite but if your arm is away from your body then it's very likely to end up as a penalty.

Well of course you'll agree with it as the stupid rule won you a European Cup.

I'm not sure I agreed with anything, I just explained the change in the interpretation of the law in the PL. The handball Liverpool got in the CL final the other season was a handball for about 10 years though

 

[Fubsy]

The getting heads around it part, there's no need to get heads around it, it's dumb.

 

[el_dazza]

2-1, game on.

 

[adam cool dude]

Hehehe.
