I was rooting for Newcastle. Then this happened. Absolutely horrible.

Merry christmas!

Never a pen, you can’t justify this fuckery

they waved off the one from Miley but then give this one? Handball rule is truly fascinating

P$G

That penalty probably puts PSG through. Absolute fuckery to give that

this is one of the worst referee decisions I've ever seen! What the hell is the point of VAR when you have multiple angles showing the ball came off the chest? what is the argument here? that the arms were extended? criminal if I must say.

And this is why the beautiful game has become a joke

A player being punished for that especially after the ref sees the video

like OK man just flip a coin next time, what's the point?

Never a pen but I guess you have to just accept the refs decision and move on. Surely Eddie Howe agrees.

The game of which oil money are we afraid of more lmao.

I hate the Champions League handball rule.

in what bloody universe is that a penalty?

PSG has UEFA in their pockets, shaking my head....

Horrendous call. When will clubs start fielding amputees to combat this issue?

Can’t wrap my brain around who wants to be a defender in todays game, looks like a shit job

Booed the hello out of Messi now that he is gonna they have to rob Newcastle lmao

VAR=... various Arabic royalties?

And commentator was saying this is one of the best refs in the world, dude's a fucking knobhead for that terrible decision. UEFA wasn't going to let the scumbag NAK leave sad.

That mbappe ref talk at half time really worked. I need mbappe to talk to my bosses regarding giving me a raise

Can't wait for the Worldnews update, SA invades Qatar

UEFA handball rules are horrible.

I think a lot of us have no idea what the laws are since the commentators have no clue and say things like oh body first never a pen when that might not be in the laws at all.

If he didn't handball it there'd be no punishment. It's not fair on clubs who don't handball in their area, regardless of mitigating circumstances.

As long as others are treated the same way in future Newcastle should be punished.

Corruption??

Hit the elbow in the penalty area, counts as a foul. If it was a tackle, then PSG would be rewarded the penalty. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team!

It’s not even worth being annoyed at these bullshit calls. It’s all a fucking lottery and you either win or lose

You have to say that is objectively deeply deeply funny.

I think UEFA prefer Qatar oil :)

Soft call

So now no player apart from Mbappe at PSG can score goals when points are most needed

lmao at these sportwashing teams fucking each other and calling for justice lol

Oilcastle United owners haven't got the hang of the bribes yet. It'll come don't worry lads.

Horrible call indeed. That was totally unintentional. I can only guess the referees discussed that the "arm was extended away from the body" but that is certainly not an "unnatural position". So I don't get what the rule even is anymore.

Best case of karma I have ever seen.

Although, unlike the team Newcastle cheated to get three points, they still got one tonight.

Wow…

and this is why the handball rule is fucked. this ref gave a pen, while something similar will happen in another match and another ref won't give a pen. Doesn't matter what the actual rule is, comes down to the level of delusion that the ref has within him

Awful decision by the ref there. The ball clearly touches the body first and then it touches the arm.

There is no question about it Newcastle were robbed.

But by god it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving team😂

Atleast moving forward, the toon know to all chop their arms off before kick off to stop this from happening

Woeful decision ffs

Marciniak z ty debilu.

Rule mentions, if the arm is in an unnatural position. This rule is so dumb, So running like a normal human is unnatural, But gluuing your Arms to you body so the ball doesn't Hit the arms and when it hits it's not a pen, is a natural position

Genius

That is truly one of the worst calls I’ve seen

He wasn't even going to give it in the first place.

Don't think I've ever seen such agreement on a decision in a thread tbh

Ohh nyoo, Newcastle got screwed by VAR?

LOL anything to cheat a win

Let me just put it this way, if you replaced Newcastle with Inter...even I would be livid at seeing this call.

What an injustice. Absolutely the wrong call. The defender is pivoting and pushing off so naturally his arms gonna go up for counterbalance. Anyone who's ran fucking knows that, except for the ref.

lol this sub is just full of Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Barcelona & Real Madrid fans who can’t take a loss. All teams get fucked by VAR eventually, today it was Arsenals turn. Stop your fucking whinging.

You know it’s a terrible call when you feel righteous anger on behalf of a team you hate
