I see that the Mensa candidates who make up the MOTD panel were at it again. Havertz deliberatley leaves his trailing leg so that the keepers momentum causes him to brush it. Hevertz throws himself to the ground on feeling this featherlight touch. Pundits say penalty. City's first penalty, the Wolves defender unintentionally boots the city player's foot. Pundits - never a penalty, 'What's the defender supposed to do? He didn't even know that the City player was there, and the City bloke managed to get his shot away'.
Tbf, i haven't read the rules, but i didn't think that the act had to be deliberate for it to be a penalty. That would mean that any piece of skill that fools a defender into making a rash challenge wouldn't be a penalty. The Man U keeper's punch of the Wolves bloke earlier this season (that wasn't given) was the correct decision, as Onana was trying to punch the ball clear, not the players head.
Someone an telly needs to questions these idiots and ask why say say one think and then, less than 10 minutes later, say the exact opposite. Thicker than pig droppings!

Pundits/commentators are all idiots with agendas generally.

The guardian report about our draw at Luton, had a line in querying whether it should have been a pen because branthwaite was nowhere near the ball. “Did it matter that both players were nowhere near the ball? Not to the officials.”

Well yes, he was nowhere near the ball because he was being held.

But also, if a foul happens off the ball, is it not a foul? Surely that’s a worse foul than if players were actually going for the ball?
