Is there actually a handball rule, written in black and white? I thought they just made it up before each game

How is that not red for Fernandes?
Still a great shot stopper but a little bit left behind in the world of modern goalkeeping with his distribution which has always been exceptionally bad. For that reason alone I still have a sneaky feeling Ten Hag may look elsewhere in the summer.
This second half has been much better, so far at least. But Betis will be kicking themselves that Antony was allowed to do what everyone watching knew he was going to do. Apart, that is, from their own left back. And also that one of the shortest players on the pitch was allowed to score with a free header from a corner.

Went in with side of his foot.

Hmmm. I think he was entitled to go for the ball, and it looked to me as though, when he knew he wasn’t getting it, he actually tried to pull out of the challenge.
He can’t just get a red card because he’s Bruno Fernandes.

He was in control, hence he only stuck side of foot on him, and goalkeeper was absolutely fine. It was a 50/50, someone was inevitably going to get there first.

You asked why it wasn't a red. I tried to answer why the ref, and VAR, felt it wasn't a red. I'm not sure I am the one with the tinted glasses on

Wonder how he would have reacted if he was on the receiving end of the same tackle
over the ball but may have got away with it because it’s more from the side of the foot
If there was one person who I had good money on to try and prove a point with yet another still image, it was you Phil. Once again, an image which is out of context. That challenge was nowhere near as bad in real time.

Its not as bad as that image but he clearly goes over the ball and fouls the keeper which in almost every instance in the last few years is a red card and deemed out of control

There are a lot of tinted glasses being worn when it comes to Fernandes, but he has largely brought it upon himself.

At least he isn't trying to tell us the picture proves Bruno was looking at his ankle, and therefore meant to hurt him.
We will have to agree to disagree on this one. I still think he’s entitled to go for the ball, and has pulled out of the challenge when he realised he wasn’t getting it. A yellow was the right call.

It is your anti Bruno tints, as demonstrated in your next post
