Handball rule is the problem. Every handball penalty seems harsh these days. You can ping a ball against a players hand from 4 yards away and it be given. Ruins a game of football penalties being given for that.

[@Thomohawk21]

I had hoped that this wouldn't happen to the PL. Over the last few years, NRL fans in Australia have been leaving the sport because video refs have ruined the game. It's gone so soft. Everything that you're saying about it is completely true and its so sad.

[@maliarro9127]

Everything is so soft!!

[@Boards-dont-hit-back]

Here is the problem. There was 2 identical handballs after the ball bounced of the players body onto his arm at high speed. VAR looked at both and gave one? that is just mad. It was either 2 pens or no pens yet VAR went for an option that made no logical scense.

[@Prizzely]

The first time 🕰️

[@virtualcity721]

They were both pens but the ref was looking too obvious with the favoritism. I went into that game wanting Newcastle to win as a EPL fan but the ref was being too bias i started hoping PSG draw at least

​@virtualcity721 I respect anyone's opinion, but do explain how skinar(PSG's) centre back had his hands on the ball, preventing Isak from making it 2-0 and the ref didn't give us that big decision? I disagree with your assessment, all 3 weren't pens, and we had a lot of free kicks given against us too.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

VAR was never going to eliminate human error and subjectivity.

[@basquat76]

Do you remember what it was like before VAR? It was obscene how much teams cheated and how many blatant mistakes there was. RM won the CL 3 years in a row with one questionable win after another. Hell in one final Ramos deliberately elbowed a goalie in the face causing a concussion. The biggest game there is and that's how bad it was. Cheating has diminished significantly and so has offside goals. One mistake in England doesn't change that. The ball on hand is obviously a rule they need to look at. It's not VAR's fault, it's the rule that has to be changed.

Absolutely spot on Ally - DELIBERATE action wiith the arm!! When the ball is struck from such close range - unless the arm is outstretched in an unnatural manner - when the defender has no time to retract his arm away from the flight of the ball, then that is in no way a deliberate foul. Football HAS to get back to this simple definition of what constitutes a foul with handball.

[@tycr8295]

They even get a proper explanation why it’s a penalty and that these are the rules in UEFA. The fact that the pundits just glaze over it is a joke. Rules are rules. The ref followed the letter of the law and got it right. End of story

[@roxammon5858]

VAR lays bare the inadequecies of match officials, whether they are imcompetent or biased. It leaves them with no excuse and that is why i think we should keep VAR because it is the best evidence there is to bring about change in the way match officials are appointed and operate.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

Wow, you Arsenal fans never give up. The difference is in the Arsenal vs Newcastle game. There wasn't enough video footage to show a definitive decision to overturn the Referee, ball might have gone out of play, no great camera angle. Joelinton might have pushed Gabriel but no definitive angle and Referee might have had better view than camera angle. Gordon might have been offside but again no great camera angle. Even some pundits like Neville and Carragher think it was a goal. Now Bruno should have been sent off and VAR was wrong on that. Against PSG though, the Ref didn't think it was a Pen, VAR intervened and overruled an actual rule which says it it comes off body part then it shouldn't be counted. Not only that but no pundit thinks it was a penalty. Nobody. I'm not crying on all PSG fans tweets though about how they got that decision.

[@seancronin9083]

I do not think you can blame VAR more so the subjectivity of football rules than with VAR itself. Christina Unkel, a soccer rules expert, highlights that contentious calls usually involve grey areas where facts can support either side. The rules, especially for handball, are open to interpretation. For example, the Premier League's interpretation focuses on a player's 'expected' arm position and reaction time. Law 12 adds clarity by stating it's an offence if the hand/arm is above the shoulder level, unless the player deliberately plays the ball. Thus, while VAR helps in decision-making, it's constrained by these subjective rules, making it challenging to determine handballs definitively."

The fact it hits his chest onto "hand" should by the rules mean no pen? surely? isn't that a thing? why are VAR even referring him? and why cant he see the chest hit? Straight from PSG foot to "hand" would have been harsh but IMO a pen. it wasnt even that. jesus. Are the UEFA rules different?

You yourself are admitting he handled it at some point in the phase of play. Therefore it's handball.

It's amazing how media personnel like this use the same verbiage, or worse, that they chastise professionals in the sport for using.
