I think this is a penalty purely because it's England that it's being given against.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Any call against England or Arsenal always gets hilarious reactions on this sub, lmao. Sincerely don't give a fuck about your downvotes, but this is a clear foul and you wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't against England. It's a super unnatural arm movement from him that literally hits the opposing player in the face/eyes region and keeps him from continuing the play, and it was much rougher in real speed than in the slow-mo that is being shown here.

Maguire is getting a boost because the people booing him are the opposition fans this time.

Makeup call of the century

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

They clearly realised they fucked up on the Maguire call and had to make it up later

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ref fucked the Maguire decision to then give the softest penalty I've ever seen. Feel bad for Rico, not fair at all.

Giving a yellow is the most laughable thing about this decision.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Conceding a penalty has been an automatic yellow card for the last few seasons.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Referees don't even know the rules at this point. It's not dangerous, reckless, or impeding so why is it a foul?

The Macedonian player has bought that by cheating and as always, been rewarded.

Just how? He’s jumped and headed the ball. Not like he’s thrust an elbow, it’s just part of his jumping motion and his hand has flicked a bloke on his blindside. Genuine shocker that they’ve probably only given to compensate for the one they didn’t get earlier.

Wtf was that decision

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Don't agree with the penalty but even if it is how the hell is that a yellow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

No idea why that was given

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Super soft penalty, but then the other one was clear so…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

What was the infringement? i still dont know what they're calling the penalty for? That Lewis touched the striker?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

thought this was a contact sport

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Fucking ridiculous!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

How is this harsh? Lewis heads the ball but the Macedonian player could still go for it if Lewis hadn't hit him in the face. While it was not intentional it doesn't matter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seeing a lot of folk in this thread who have clearly never played the game. No intent in that whatsoever and to get that high up you need to use your arms like that for momentum. Rubbish call from the ref.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Intent has zero bearing on whether or not it was a foul. If a player mistimes a challenge and catches another player it's a foul even though they didn't mean it. If he has to use his arms to get that high he's leaving the referee with a decision to make if he then catches an opponent in the face.

You don't get a free pass just because you're young and it's your debut.

Wtf is rico supposed to do

It’s interesting how the pen shout for Maguire has half the comments here on Reddit, even though they are equally outrageous (bad) decisions.

If you’re going to whinge about reffing, do it consistently…

Controversial decision that but at least pickford saved it. Good dive from him, unlucky with the rebound obviously but I have faith England will step it up a gear next half and win.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ludicrous decision

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

And the knee to Maguire's face is not a pen?

Ridiculous

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

dies from peak fiction

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

macedonia sucks. England needs better players lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Caught him in the face. Yer man made a meal out of it tbh though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

...do people really think this is soft? He literally slaps the guy in the face.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

This ref had a nightmare of a match

It's impressive that var has just given refs more opportunities to be terrible
