Question of the Day: How frequently are you watching FIFA World Cup 2026 matches?
I totally agree it was an incorrect decision, however it is understandable when a defender lifts his arms and the ball ricochets from what in real time, looked like his forearm, but turned out to be his head. The defender is just as much to blame. And I'd say that if it were any other team playing as well. Defender should know better than to lift their arms above their heads when in the wall...
Please debate like an adult - you're just stirring more schit again...
And I have already stated it was an incorrect decision - however had the defender not lifted his arms over his head when jumping, the penalty would never have been given. It is a schoolboy error on the part of the defender. Having played football for my province, I know that coaches train their players not to do so from a young age. For that very reason. Simple as that...
Majority of us have played football on all levels, so playing for your "province" adds nothing to your argument lol.
All I see is more excuses from a manchester fan not accepting that the ref made a dodgy decision in favour of manchester (which everytime it happens we get excuses from manu fans why it really is a correct descion/not their fault) and nobody else except him is to be blamed.
Barca got goal from a bad decision last night but you dont see barca fans saying the defnder should have done this/or should have been here etc.

Red card was as clear as day.
Penalty was harsh but you can't put your arms up like that and not expect a penalty shout at least.
Even long before the red, Soton were never in it.

It wasn't intentional? What on earth are you on about? Stud up, flying in, knee height. The type of thing that breaks players legs. Clear red card. No doubt.
