TBH, any penalty that doesn't actually hit the target is worse. With a really rubbish penalty like that you at least have the possibility the keeper goes the wrong way and it trickles in anyway. If you're not on target then it's going to take a miracle to put it in the mack of the net
This one had all Notts fans in despire at Wembly in a play off final

Only then for a remarkable save to put them back on course

I couldn't work out if, on the night, Marseille were just average or Liverpool were very good.
Marseille have a good reputation but Liverpool were far better in all areas of the pitch.
I thought Liverpool were superb,i was shouting for Mo to put one in.

Another derby draw for Pompey. Could have nicked it in the end, but a point's a point, back out of the drop zone, fingers crossed for WBA on Saturday…

Just watching MOTD 2. Regarding the Chelsea penalty, why did the Crystal Palace player get yellow carded when the referee announced pitch side that it wasn't a red card due to the handball being accidental. Surely if it was accidental it's still a penalty as it affects the flow/movement of the ball, but why yellow card the player if the ref' thought it was accidental? Surely the penalty award against the player was punishment enough?🤔

Thank you. I haven't seen this. I'll have a scout round for a copy.
Thats the current rule. Use to be a red even if accidental.

Thanks. This was very interesting to read even if I did have to subscribe to the Daily Mail!!! 🤣 There's plenty which is accurate regarding the current situation but the key point is the majority who still attend don't support the boycott. There's a reason why the reporter states the opposite which I won't discuss.
I'm going to be very careful in what I say. I was one of the founders of the original Rovers Trust, personally achieved Asset of Community Value status for Ewood Park and was involved in fan movements amongst other things. All this rapidly became factionalised and deeply unpleasant. I know who threw that infamous snowball. I wouldn't go near the current actions. I'm not a Venkys apologist.
I gave up any fan movement involvement when I realised the impact all this was having on my personal life and mental health.

The rules now state it should only be a penalty if they arm is moved away from the body to make it "unnaturally bigger". If the act is not deliberate and the position of the arm does not make the players body unnaturally bigger it is not a penalty even if it prevents a goal. The Palace decision should not have been given as a penalty. Can't help but feel the ref was talked into it by VAR.
Interesting there was the same incident the day before at Man City. VAR stepped in when the ref said no pen. After review he upheld his decision of no penalty, which was totally correct.

You can add Kilmarnock to that list.
