Comical pen. Thought he could’ve just stayed on his feet and tapped it in.

Same here. Reckon he thought it would be a red if he went down.

 

[Chegsy]

If they give the pen, has to be a red doesn't it? Doesn't look like Rodri made an attempt to play the ball.

 

[carolinablue232]

Can someone explain why that wasn’t a red for rodri?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Christina Unkel. Ace name.

Ruling this off for encroachment? Ouch.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Why isn't the penalty retaken, the keeper was well off his line?

Oliver showing that most VAR issues we have in the PL are related to the referees we have and not the system itself

Nothing like this last night

[Lapeno77]

good save from the penalty, was he not off his line?

One foot behind the line.

The world getting a taste of English refereeing today.

Can someone explain why that wasn’t a red for rodri?

You've answered your own question here. Rodri plays to a whole different set of rules, the multiple niggly fouls that never get a card, the blatant last man that never gets the red.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Wasn't a pen for me.

And if you're pulling that for encroachment - then you have to pull the keeper for being off his line and have a retake.

 

[Gilbert..]

Even if they havent got the goal spain should be down to 10.
Oliver is one bad ref.

 

[summerisle]

Seb Hutchinson.

Never heard of him, and I wish I didn't have to.

The world getting a taste of English refereeing today.

Michael Oliver doing Michael Oliver things.

edit: Stuart Atwell on VAR as well.

These muppets always putting themselves in focus.

Listening to Christina Unkel is like listening to someone drag their nails down a chalk board
