Another shocking decision overly analysed by VAR. so much for clear and obvious more like we will keep scrutinising to the nth degree to make the game worse.
Surprised Brighton aren’t walking off after that decision………..

That's terrible....contact was utterly minimal and if anything initiated by the B'mouth forward dragging his thigh into the keepers toe which was high in the air due to his momentum. B'mouth forward was never getting to the ball that he'd just virtually kicked out of play.

Surely he dives and then makes contact with Verbruggen?! Shocking decision. Don't understand it at all.

GK didnt stop a goal scoring opportunity (striker had kicked the ball out of play). GK wasn't reckless or dangerous.
I can only imagine the law must be written that any contact whatever, just before a player goes to ground, is a penalty. If not, I'm shocked VAR felt the onfield ref had made a mistake!?
Actually, why am I lying? I'm not shocked at all. They'll be slated for it in the analysis, and next week they'll probably fail to ask for a review when the ref misses a clear assault by a keeper

Referee gets it spot on and then he lets VAR change his mind!
If that’s not re-refereeing the game I don’t know what is!

I’ll counter that with “Carragher agrees” so maybe not the best source of fact!
Even worse being at a ground with no big screen so you haven’t got a scooby what’s going on

Even more staggering is they think it was a penalty

Well, they did AFTER the penalty was given at least. Hence the obvious reaction.Even worse being at a ground with no big screen so you haven’t got a scooby what’s going on
The Brighton manager didnt think it was a penalty, as he explained during his half time interview. I just can't imagine Sir Alex giving a half time interview back in the day.

They have the power to do so much good
