I still find this whole Rodri episode funny from Lampard, to Everton, to now Mike Riley apologizing. None of them is making it clear.

Was there conclusive evidence that the ball struck Rodri in the red zone of the arm?

From what I see, the only camera that showed when the contact happened was not conclusive to rule handball.

People just want decisions to suit their mentality.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
check the link in the OP, it is blatant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have seen those pics for days and the second picture is the only picture that shows a direct contact of Rodri's arm with the ball.

That picture is not blatant enough to show the ball striking the red zone.

So why are people running Helter skelter when the point was made,

NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF HANDBALL FOR RODRI.

It was not conclusive. Even Lampard is saying making hand bigger. Take show us a picture that shows conclusive ball striking strictly the red zone. There is none.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So one picture shows a direct contact with the arm, in odour own words. So evidence that it was handball then.

You've made yourself look like a right bell here. I wonder which account you belong to with your brand new account.

It was not conclusive for the VAR officials to rule.

By the way, I checked in once in a while. Never registered on this site. Registered because most debate are off the report of the VAR.

Why would Riley apologise if it's not conclusive?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
exactly. He could have just stuck to the inconclusive line but they all know it was a pen.

Funny wad demot on sky. He admitted it was a pen but the var official got "seduced" by the wrong video caption.
Seduced lool
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched Dermot's view and it was high water crap. Saying it is a Handball. For Christ sake, it was a handball. The question is simple. Did the ball strike the red area totally. If it did, where is the conclusive evidence that show it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't have to strike the red area 'totally'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You answer that. What do you think? At what area would be suitable to rule handball?

All these points to it being inconclusive. Does that warrant Lampard referring to the referees as incompetent? Coupled with the fact his defense was actually incompetent.

when city fans are debating if any part of the ball may have touched a sleeve cuff to get out of it.... well i think that is the definition of Bias.

The world and their dog can see that is a handball. a clear move of arm into ball to block it and its a debate over where is his sleeve.

I suppose city now will have longer sleeves on their shirts to gain advantage LOL.

we have one rule which states the whole of the ball must cross a line for it to be a goal but now a different rule where if any part of a ball might clip a sleeve then its not handball

classic bias at play.

Hopefully Everton do go down by 1 point
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bias is when you will not debate the reason the VAR officials said they did not call it. It was the only reason they put out. How you guys do not want that debated is where the bias lies.

The VAR officials said they did not have enough evidence to rule the ball was in the red area. From my repeated views, they did not have it.

Well it is City, throw out the rules and make Lampard Happy.

Let Mourinho or Pep call the ref incompetent for rules that did not favor them and let us see if the referee will call them.

Instead the FA will even ban them. But hey it is Lampard. Even if the VAR officials interpreted the laws perfectly, they still need to apologise because Prince Lampard is sad.

Funny stuff that happened recently.

An apology means nothing. Changes nothing.

Personally I'd like to know why the VAR official arrived at the decision he did. I was supportive of VAR coming into the game but over the last couple of seasons the decisions have been laughably inconsistent and, at times, baffling. But it's not going away so we need to work with it. Part of how you do that imo is transparency around controversial decisions.

They do it in other sports. The wall of silence around referees in football should go imo. It's not like the authorities are protecting the respect for a referee - players are allowed to speak to the ref in the most disrespectful way every single week.

Let fans in on decisions, transparency will help consistency.

I mean what was the VAR ref not seeing to not give a penalty.. Rodri was all but impersonating one of the. Harlem Globetrotters fgs... A more blatent handball you will not see.
Yet one more on a long list of embarrassing mistakes by a VAR official we are supposed to just accept and not think something dodgy is going on.

Doesn't matter what I think. There are laws to be followed. They weren't and therefore subsequently they had to issue an apology.

Where did you get that from? I have never heard an offside ruled because more of the player was in an offside position. I have never heard a goal ruled because more of the ball was inside the goal area. I have never heard throwing was ruled because more of the ball was in the throwing area.

Yet, you want to believe that a handball should be ruled because of more of the ball.

Clearly you can see that the VAR official did not have conclusive evidence of handball for Rodri.

Yet many of you intimated them.

Should have been an indirect free kick surely? How does a team deserve a free unopposed shot from 12 yards just because it a defender on the bicep? Its not like the Everton player was about to score or had a cross blatantly stopped from reaching another attacker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s for obstruction

Handball is handball

Can’t suddenly start scrutinising handball decisions now into different categories

It was a shocker of a decision

I’ve never been into this whole bias / corruption stuff but city do get some weird decisions sometimes and makes you think


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn now. When the VAR ruled no handball, I was like why? After study, I understood it. There is a reason why the sleeve rule image is there.

I have some sympathy for the ref as you can see from the reply he is struggling to see through a few players...

However, the VAR decision is an absolute shocker! You know it's bad when literally he is the only person who didn't think it was a pen...or even worth the ref having a look!!

Stockley Park needs bulldozing 1st and foremost. Anyone that works there needs firing. Then get rid of VAR. It has not only made refs look more incompetent but it ruins countless moments in so many matches. Utterly hate it.
