Wolves have been done tonight. Ran the game, very dubious penalty against them. Surely the dangerous play of the high boot stops play and makes the handball irrelevant? If this was my team I'd be fuming.

not for me, didnt kick him, didnt actually get close to kicking him, doherty just panicked, no way that should be overturned
 
Think Wolves won’t be happy there.
You can be booked for excessive force in a tackle where you get the ball.
But a overhead kick where you miss the ball and it hits the defenders arm who is trying to protect himself is a penalty.???
Think VAR got that wrong again for me .
Mike Dean the star again!

He didn’t get the ball though.
The defender backed out so never got the ball at its peak height ,it then drops on his arm because he’s underneath the flight.
It’s dangerous play.?

if Doherty was an arsenal player id be having a go at him not the ref, can head the ball without being kicked but didnt, not dangerous for me

Not dangerous really ???
He missed the ball so he is not in control!
That’s dangerous.
A defender can’t be asked to put his head there and get kicked just to call it dangerous play.
 
its only dangerous in dohertys mind tho surely, if he kicks him then thats different. games gone soft lol
The question is does Doherty move his head 6" further forward and get his face smashed up or does he stay back and keep his nose, teeth and eyes as they are ?. I'm with him on this one.

The overhead kick is always a problem. If the attacker gets a clean strike with no one around then great. Anything else and it's dangerous, to this softie anyway ?
 
Overhead kick is like handball in the area. Different rules for defenders and attackers.

If a defender raised his foot that high the ref gives dangerous play but if an attacker does an overhead kick everybody races about how spectacular it is.

There was another one at the weekend, the defender nearly kicked in the face but apparently that's OK.
