Yes, I believe VAR only gives handball now if it is by the goalscorer. Think it was discussed a few weeks ago

Whilst part of me gets that, had Salah not kept the move going using his hand, that goal never gets scored. Nobody can ever convince me that’s right.

That’s got to be a red surely

 

[clubchamp98]

That’s a shocker from Robbo.
How’s that worse than Kanes ,this is a joke.
Gone to the screen.

Accidental handball not leading directly to a goal is not an offence now. Law clarified in March this year.

 

[Slime]

Right decision, that was just thuggery.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

So they don’t send him to check the Kane tackle but they do that ?‍

 

[Tashyboy]

Am sure it will level itself out over the season ?

Well I didn’t think it would be that quick ?

 

[arnieboy]

Definite red card.

One was a bad tackle, the other was thuggery.
Having said that, they both should have got red cards.

Cracking game of football, but when the pundits get talking afterwards I suspect the VAR controversies will overshadow the entertainment.

Yeah.... correct at last.... kick aimed at player is the difference.

They must have just switched VAR on

Yes but the refs total incompetence has caused a good game to become spoilt.imo.
How come he never went to the screen for Kanes?
Absolute joke reffing.

Again!!

There is no argument against the red card for Robbo - it’s poor but the lack of consistency is disgraceful

They have just shown that same Kane tackle on sky. ?

Is there still a twist ?

Robbo has gone in with excessive force, thus a definite red.

Kane, presumably, wasn't seen as excessive. But it was dangerous imho, so should have been a red.

 

[Slime]

I've a funny feeling Spurs may just snatch a winner!

 

[clubchamp98]

Robin has gone in with excessive force, thus a definite red.

Kane, presumably, wasn't seen as excessive. But it was dangerous imho, so should have been a red.

What do you have to do to be excessive ?
Knee high, over the ball, out of control clatters his op.
