If that’s a pen we gonna see a 200% increase in pens given each week
The feeling is that every single match from now until the end of the season will produce a truckload of mediatic diarrhea for every contact in Inter’s box and then some.
They’re already not happy with this NON-PENALTY. They want some other shit on Bastoni too. And Lautaro’s goal disallowed…
What are we talking about. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
My honest opinion:
Even though he objectively touches the ball first, and that’s obvious, it still feels like a dangerous move. Especially live, it immediately looked like a direct punch in the face (which wasn’t direct since he touched the ball first).
Now, I wish the ref checked a few more replays before making a decision. From the one replay he watched, I would’ve said it was a pen too.
There is a possibility he would’ve called a pen anyway. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if the ball is touched first, if a play is dangerous it’s a foul anyway (kinda like those tackles where one player touches the ball, but also destroys the opponent’s legs full speed).
In my opinion his decision is not scandalous or outrageous, but I think he rushed it a bit and there is a possibility he had pressure from all the talk about Inter lately and whatnot.
Before looking at the replay the only question was if he got there first. The replay showed he got there first. They awarded the penalty anyway for what I can only guess was the way the impact happened on the follow through. My guess is if the impact was with the side of the hand it wouldn’t have been called a penalty.
Goalkeeper have to go into challenges like this one. Sommer first hits the ball and hits Nzola’s face afterwards. Completely unintentional from my perspective. I believe if Nzola would have been aware of Sommer being so close to him he probably would not have attempted the header at all, because he had no chance to win it. Bad decision by referee, but karma hits back as the penalty was poorly taken and saved.
Inter – 21 matches, Pens against: 5
juve – 22 matches, Pens against: 0
3 gifted pens against in the last 3 matches. Not to mention the braindead calendar the league has put together for Inter.
Yet they’ve succeeded in changing the narrative as they see fit.
Not a penalty. But from now on expect every goal and call go to VAR from here on for us. I can’t believe I am saying this but it’s literally become a case of abusing VAR, these decisions are not clear and obvious mistakes and the VAR is just nitpicking.
Punching people in the face = Penalty/Free kick. It’s really simple. You would think that players and fans know by now, that getting the ball first doesn’t matter if you massacre the players afterwards.
Not a penalty, he got the ball first and how can we have a goalkeeper not able to go for that kinda ball? My gripe with it is there was like 6 different camera angles n only 2 to me proved he got the ball first but the referee seen about 3 seconds of one and that was enough! To be fair to him the replay he seen looks clear penalty but surely he’s got to watch more that that?!
The dust is very far to be settled, crusades are still up and rolling against us
Very worrisome in the long run, I expect more referee errors (mostly in the away games) by the external pressure of fans shouting for us being “favoured”… we’re gonna pay this in terms of points and cards
Never a penalty.
Goalkeeper is always at least a little bit protected inside his area, that’s one of the football’s basic and oldest unwritten rules, especially when he goes into the duel, in the air, with his hands high.
The truth is he simply plays the ball and THEN he has a contact with a player WHO himself should take care of his positioning related to a goalkeeper in a air duel.
Even more disgraceful is that the referee during a VAR check saw only one angle for 3 seconds and decided it is a clear penalty, which I put on VAR room more than on a ref. VAR room was on alert the entire game just searching and searching for anything they could use against us. Can’t wait for an audio.
P.S. This is not even a first soft penalty against us in the finish of the match while we lead by one goal.
No penalty
It’s clearly not a pen, but the VAR did’t have/show this camera angle to the referee and from the other angle it could seem a foul.
I’m not even discussing this. Never a pen, NEVER, and karma agreed. We had other calls in our favour or not this season where VAR either burned us or was lenient. But this one was a gift to Fiorentina. It’s also not dangerous play. The keeper is doing what his role is designed for and touches the ball first. No discussion.
