I did tell ya not to watch it

Saturday night having a few beers and you watch that. You are deffo throwing something at the telly. And maybe a provisional. Just waiting to hear the PGMOL say “ his hand was in a natural position “

Try that 'natural position' on an unknown female in a pub next Saturday and see where that gets you. Slapped, arrested..........

I would not bet against your summary of the pgmol statement

Watching MOTD and Pickford again looks like he catches a player when looking to close someone down , it’s almost as if it’s the old thinking of taking the ball and then the man after

Can’t help but think Rochdale fans have themselves to blame. If they hadn’t invaded the pitch would’ve been much less injury time for York to get a goal.

To be fair to them....there were supposed to be (a minimum of) 6 minutes of extra time.

Rochdale scored on 94.58 and the game kicked off again after the pitch invasion on 101.02....so in absolute terms the game should have finished 1 minute and 2 seconds later at 102.04.....the York equaliser went in at 102.17.....so just 13 seconds over the allotted time the game should have finished. Maybe the invasion helped loosen the focus of the Rochdale players (but then we all know a team is most vulnerable right after they score) but I'm not sure the ref added any additional time due to the pitch invasion.

Should have taken the slap and the cell for the night mate

I've just seen it now on motd. That's a nailed on penalty . He flicks the ball away with his hand. I'm not sure how var can dismiss that

Yes can see why the ref missed it.
But VAR has no excuse, going with the onfield decision is fine as long as it’s correct.

Should have sent him to the monitor

Yep that’s the one and then he has a pop at the player for getting in the way of his studs

VAR checked it too! Really was a bad day for VAR yesterday!

Pickford was chirping all afternoon, he even run up to the ref to complain about Taty putting the ball in the net after play had been pulled up and got him booked. Grass!

How that’s not a pen amazes me.

So grappling is ok now according to VAR.
As Moyes said “ only one player grappling”

I’d have been fuming if that had let my bet down.
It really is mind blowing how that isn’t a penalty.
What is the point in VAR if they’re not giving that

Doesn’t look good from that clip.

No idea who the VAR ref was in that match but wasn’t great , especially with the handball, wonder if he bottled it because of what it meant in the bigger picture
