Another ridiculous penalty decision.

Don't think it was deliberate but i can understand why the linesman from his position gave it because the defenders hand was up and it blocked it from going towards goal, could of look like it was done deliberatly even if it wasn't.

Hard one to call but in that scenario they can easily get given.

It was too close for me, like.

Handballs are always contentious though.

Can't get your arm out of the way in time if it's that close.

Great hit from Maicon.

Yeah thats why i'd lean towards it not being a pen but for all we know he might of put his arm up like that to stop the ball if it got flicked on.

Hence the "unatural position" refs look at, why would your arm be in that position naturtally? If its not it can lookm like an attempt to block the ball.

I'm assuming if the league finihses level on points it goes to head to head rather than gd in Italy yeah?

I'm not sure but as it stands Juve will be 4 points clear tonight so it won't matter!

And yeah, if handballs have to be intentional, unless the ref can read minds then it is an impossible task to get them all right. But common sense dictates when it's that close, that a pen is usually very harsh.
