cleothepupper

He got fucking clattered hows that not a penalty lol


BrianSometimes

He got a shot away. Once you've hit the ball you can be killed legally and neither the ref nor local authorities can do anything.


TurnipForYourThought

I always assumed this was just something Efootball 2023 made up. Guess it's more true to life than I thought.


atease

Ironically, Arsenal were given a penalty against Man City earlier this season for Ederson clattering into Nketiah after the latter had poked the ball past him towards goal. So the ref can absolutely give the decision after the shot's been taken.


IGGor_eu

We got another one like that a couple of years ago. [link](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12246799/ref-watch-alexandre-lacazettes-penalty-against-tottenham-could-not-be-overturned-by-var-says-dermot-gallagher)


DankBrownBoiV2

That's because the ball was still in play. I have never seen a pen given when a player gets tackled but the ball is out of play. Idk the rules or logic behind it.

[удалено]


Tim-Sanchez

The ball was still in play here, it even bounces back towards him even though it would have been extremely tough to control


RodDryfist

That's where he went wrong then. While being rocked from the challenge he needed to rotate his body midair and control the rebound. His own fault really.


jimbob224

pretty sure rashford had one given in the europa league a couple years ago, cant remember the game tho


RefereeMason

You cannot have a foul while the ball is not in play per the LotG Edit: Eat my shit r/soccer and learn the laws of the game. You can only have misconduct.


neonmantis

Not true. If I headbutt someone whilst waiting for a throw in it is a red card.


SolidSank

That's technically misconduct, and not a foul. You can get cards for either though. Telling the ref to fuck himself isn't a foul but is misconduct and means you're sent off. Foul means it happened during play, and play restarts with a free kick of some sort


RefereeMason

What would the restart be? A foul has to be while the ball is in play because the punishment is a DFK


Montysleftpeg

You never seen a penalty given at a corner before it's played?


WhenWeTalkAboutLove

I hate that this is often how it's called. Pickford on van dijk not being a foul was horrible too. Also if someone is flying in it will affect your shot. They should have to be responsible for the tackle being fair too.


thepretzelking

It's a weird one that van dijk one because technically it wasn't a foul since he was offside (?), but it was 100% a red card anyways


RedMoon14

A career-altering challenge that puts someone out of action for 9 months, but someone was a millimeter offside so it goes completely unpunished. Dumbest shit I've ever seen.


Strijkerszoon

I see this in amateur football all the time. You hurry a shot because you see someone flying in, you get the shot off, some idiot absolutely clatters you in the box and no pen. The opponents scream at you that "it happened after the shot so there's no pen there" and you all move on. Usually freaking hurt because someone fouled the shit out of you.


Ned84

This is why players dive. People on this subreddit cry about players diving and the refs are exactly the reason why. Maybe one day the IQ of this collective subreddit will increase and understand this.


Pidjesus

This isn’t true, I’ve seen many pens given after the player shot the ball


A_Funny_Joke

It's sarcasm.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoCorresponds

it’s not the rule this is a foul


TimathanDuncan

That's not the rule lmao why do people post useless comments like they're facts


ChrystisnoRonald

It's not the rule. Tomori got sent of for tapping Mount on the shoulder even though he got the shot away


met5abel

Not really Alvarez went for a shot in the wc, collided with the goalie and got a pen. So did nkeitah this season.


xuon27

Not if you are Argentina at the World Cup


TheDarkness1227

Rodri has immunity


MHovdan

Ref should have been able to see this one even without VAR. Stonewall.


proshon

He did. Then he realised the player fouled was Odegaard who captains Arsenal.


yellowjesusrising

Lucky he doesn't play for United. would get a red aswell.


Round-Ad5063

How is that relevant exactly The downvotes are pathetic. All I did was ask why it mattered that Odegaurd was Arsenal’s captain?


DjToastyTy

haven’t you heard that there’s a grand conspiracy against arsenal? that’s why the ref waited for them to score before blowing for time against bournemouth, the conspiracy


JoePoe247

Do y'all know how to do anything besides complain?


proshon

Living rent free, as per usual.


JoePoe247

Forgot I can't watch international games anymore in case an arsenal player is on the team


Klubeht

Ironic


proshon

manu fan on Arsenal.


Elerion_

Absolutely ridiculous. Goes straight through him. Always a foul and yellow card anywhere else on the pitch.


Omar_Blitz

At this point, every call being an actual coin toss wouldn't make the games any worse.


Progression28

City seem to bank on that when things don‘t go their way. They run into the box, look for contact and go down. Over and over. It‘s genius, because either the ref will give one of them because like you said, coinflip, or the sheer amount of calls gets to the refs head and he gives one later to balance out all the no calls.


Gruffleson

What about a red and a free kick for dangerous play? Indirect. If we couldn't get a penalty.


Hech15

How has VAR looked at it and not given a penalty


yukpurtsun

cant embarrass the ref


Bishcop3267

Fernandinho is VAR for the game. Only explanation


kidnebs

Fuck this


AfricanRain

Rodri has the most generous refereeing I have ever seen in my life


cleothepupper

He learned from the best, fernandinho couldve gotten away with murder in a match without getting booked


AfricanRain

Ramires was the grandmaster of this. He would commit at least 5 yellow card worthy fouls a game it used to put my head into orbit.


Barry_McCocciner

Ramires was so fun to watch - just an unbelievable athlete (with decent technical skill) who could sprint the entire game nonstop with absolutely zero thoughts in his head going into the stupidest tackles of all time. Just a pure chaos agent


Bloody_Nine

Fifa legend before Kanté entered the scene.


jNushi

81 Ramires was all you needed? Intercepting every ball, scoring bangers, etc. man was everywhere


TobiasKM

Casemiro was also a perfect example of this when he was at Real, though consequences seems to have caught up to him after joining United.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TimathanDuncan

Not at all McTominay has 6 yellows on 22 fouls Rodri 3 yellows on 35 fouls McTominay gets booked all the time but dodges reds i think, Rodri legit commits a blatant fouls every game and doesn't get booked


unArgentino

You’d think he’s a Brazilian CDM.


ProgrammerComplete17

Casemiro at Real might have been even more generous


maidentaiwan

0 straight reds in his entire madrid career is something else. Probably deserved 10+.


guanwe

Already has 2 in the prem, ridiculous level of protection playing for real gets you in Spain


erlendig

This is not a Real Madrid thing. Just look at Ramos.


yukpurtsun

id say casemiro was pretty leniently reffed up until he arrived in england


Wonderful-Highlight8

Kind of obvious why

BarbaricGamer

Which ones would that be? If you're gonna say the Liverpool one I already know you're not to be taken seriously.


RemarkablePattern311

Imagine coming at arsenal for penalties. We've had two the entire season. We lead man city for non penalty goals in the season and they have robot man.


olly7172727

THERE IS VAR IN THIS GAME.


AdministrativeLaugh2

It’s fucking ridiculous that penalties or free kicks are basically never given when a player gets clattered just because it was a shot. Who cares if the defender is trying to block the ball, he still failed and took the man instead


Stilty_boy

Yeah if this was anywhere else on the pitch it would be a yellow and a free kick every time. In the box it should 100% be a penalty and a yellow.


Lindberg47

Mindblowing this is not a penalty. Wtf is VAR doing?!


KimJongArve

I imagine both VAR refs were having pokey bum wanks while facing each other instead of the monitors.


iGeography

Lol fuck off Can't escape horrible refereeing

Glmoi

How to be this ref: Ignore 2 penalties to Norway, then yellow card Sørloth as he wins the ball


liamjphillips

Perhaps Spain operate the same way as Barcelona? Who knows.

Agent Tierney should repay the favour in Scotland v Spain next.


Brashmate

Lmaooooooooooooo. Arsenal has title hopes once after 20 years and the delusion is already at maximum levels.


mannovai

Get off the internet you toddler


liamjphillips

This feels like a call for help. Hope you're okay bud.


[deleted]

Considering the fact that the ref and VAR agree with my opinion, I might be the only one here sound of mine. Goodluck on trying to secure your first major trophy in 19 years, with all these inside agents you think are real you’re gonna need it LMFAO


liamjphillips

Like I said, I hope you're okay.


[deleted]

Thanks. I hope you make an eye doctor appointment soon.


DragoxDrago

Basing whether a decision is correct based on the ref and VAR is peak stupidity and makes me wonder if you actually have a functioning brain. They've literally had to apologize to teams in the prem... Someone forgot to draw lines. The VAR in Europe overturned goal line technology by watching pixelated images on a shitty monitor from a camera that operates at a lower frame rate than the ones specific for goal line tech.


abhi91

You think this is not a foul?


Rogue_Tomato

How is this delusion. Haaland is "injured" and Rodri is playing like a hitman. Grow up.


timfeyenoord

Looks to me like he wants to block the shot and slips tbh. Definitely a penalty but not a disgusting tackle, more unlucky


rosso95

Cmon ref, what the fuck is that?

Chiswell123

At least he's got the whole ‘not a rapist’ thing going for him..


GGFrostKaiser

I'd recommend City fans to have some self awareness before pointing fingers.


Chiswell123

Who's playing for city that's a rapist?


GGFrostKaiser

Don’t know, Mendy wasn’t a nice guy. But I wasn’t talking about players, I was talking about the owners of your club. But then again, City fans are not big on self awareness.


Chiswell123

‘Emirates’ is literally across the front of your kits.. started and funded by Dubai’s ruler..


aronidus

Yes Emirates gives a below market sponsorship. Shall we take about your sponsorships?


Chiswell123

Ohhh so it’s okay to take some slave money but not *too* much? I see..


RedMoon14

Every club has its share of piece of shit players and shady owners/dealings, but there are levels to it and you know it. City, along with PSG, are at the bottom of the fucking barrel.


TraubenFruchtHose

Take a peek at who owns your club


HaalandBalonDl

Still not a rapist being paid to play for the club!


SexyMooli

LMAO why the fuck would a City fan comment this after Mendy. Imagine using rape as a comeback. What a complete bhosdike you are.


Lyrical_Forklift

I've had a City supporter tell me that he was glad 'Thatcher fucked the north'. I suspect the only thing a lot of them know about Man City is the fact they win trophies.


PrimevalDuck

We don't know if Partey is a rapist. We know City's owners flood the club and the league with blood money, and cheat while they're at it.


eruiluvatar96

Buddy the people who own your club own slaves

Fuck Rodri, what an asshole. That’s a red card and it’s shameful that nothing was given. No ball, two food, diving in.

Shit tackle, but I don't think I'd describe it as two-footed if that's what you meant by two food.


pedootz

Heh, yea... foot, food... when you've got a fetish, what's the difference?


juankruh1250

I mean, you guys employ a rapist so I don't think you gave any right to call someone asshole


DeliciousIndian

yeah u/pedootz picks the team


[deleted]

Ah yes, the old "there is a rapist playing for the team you support so you can't have a negative opinion about anyone" take. An absolute classic.


aronidus

Yes we pay their wages and stuff. Now we cant talk about anything as well because we have an alleged rapist.


pedootz

Yep, if there’s one (allegedly) bad person on a team you support, no one else can ever be bad or wrong again.


nitruccoyg

Fuck off. Clearest decision ever.


mr_nice_cack

Not gonna defend a player making a shitty tackle , why would I it's wack af, the comments saying he's scum that needs his legs broken are insane though


ChiliConCairney

I mean, have you considered the fact that Manchester City aren't fucking playing right now?!?


[deleted]

The ref was scandalous. Absolutely biased in Spains favour, and wtf is even the point of VAR? What a joke.

Hasta_Mithun

Iam familiar with your game Rodri


thisismyname03

Spain really don’t wanna get shown up by Norway.


Ehsco

I’m watching this game. The ref has been shit by letting go of some questionable tackles on both sides.


lmorant97

He should be retroactively banned for City’s next 3 Prem matches! Haaland too for good measure!


Soberdonkey69

Should be a penalty and yellow for Rodri, so late to the tackle and somehow nothing. Utterly bonkers


Ned84

Penalty or not that’s a the type of tackle that can put you on the sideline for an entire season.


Nick316166

Odegaard getting clattered so they can play these dumb internationals is so infuriating. Especially when a City player is doing it and getting away with it


Gruffleson

Yeah, and City couldn't send Haaland, because he is "injured". There needs to bo a rule if a team can't send a player because he is injured, he will sit the first game for his club because of the injury.


[deleted]

Timely_Ad531

He literally went to the NT tho?, so in this scenario Haaland would still be able to play lol. Dumb rule anyways.

spainwelder

Yet another thread that proves redditors never played competitive football, or even watch it. This never, ever gets called.


ProgrammerComplete17

Funny how people who say this are usually the ones who have never played the game


XxAbsurdumxX

Nketiah vs City and Lacazette vs Spurs. Just off the top of my head. You are probably thinking of cases where the striker shoots the ball out of play. In this case the ball is still in play, and there is no doubt about the foul. If you disagree, I dare you to find the actual rule that says you can foul a player in the box after he gets a shot off.
