Worrying that the majority of fans on a football forum agree with the referee, VAR and apparently Dutch and Italian TV?Worrying so many people think this is a penalty. Would've been absolutely fuming if that was given against us and can accept it definitely wasn't a pen. If the ref had given it in real time I could accept it not being overturned, but for VAR to give that is an absolute joke.
But who listens to Gary Neville? He’s not a reliable source of expertise is he?Gary Neville literally said this, “there’s a higher bar inside the box” or something. Which is completely wrong.
Completely agree, it was very poor defending, he made no genuine attempt to block the ball, he was late.Looked like the defender went for Kane's foot rather than the ball to me.
You enter the box near the by line, you see a team mate in a great position for a tap in and not offside and before you get your pass away you're wiped out. You aren't in a goal scoring position so according to you , no penalty.It’s only a penalty if you illegally prevent a player from scoring. Kane had already got his shot off before contact was made so no pen. Plus slow motion shows Kane kicked defender.
If Kane’s shot had gone in would you have disallowed it?
Play acting?Dont think it would have even gone to var without kane's play acting. Never a penalty
And that idiot ian wright is. christine unkle said it wasn't and shes far more qualifed.But who listens to Gary Neville? He’s not a reliable source of expertise is he?
Absolute nonsense thisIt’s only a penalty if you illegally prevent a player from scoring. Kane had already got his shot off before contact was made so no pen. Plus slow motion shows Kane kicked defender.
If Kane’s shot had gone in would you have disallowed it?
Yes rolling on the floor and screaming trying to optimise the situation.Play acting?
What subjective about raising your foot and showing your studs?Not a penalty for me. His leg is outstretched to block the flight of the shot and Kane kicks the bottom of his foot.
There are views on both sides of the argument not just on here but everywhere. Immediately following the incident ITV's VAR & refereeing 'expert' explained patiently why it wasn't a penalty at which point VAR and the referee gave it.
It was Schrödinger's Penalty.........a penalty and not a penalty all at the same time proving once and for all that VAR is a complete waste of time in situations like this. The decision is entirely subjective and will be ever thus.
He was genuinely hurtYes rolling on the floor and screaming trying to optimise the situation.
No but it’s dangerous playKane got his shot away and followed through onto the defender's attempted block. The defender didn't go studs in on Kane.
