The daft cunt looks like he's trying to hail a black cab, how does he think he's getting away with that

[–] FancyCrawdad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thought initially that it might not be given due to proximity but the replay made it clear that Keane was making no attempt to pull his arm away so the call is fair enough in the end. I'm sure Pickford's water bottle works a treat sometimes but there was never any doubt that Salah would be smashing that in

[–] THWMatthew@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hate the argument of “what’s the intent, it’s not intentional” from the commentators. When is a handball ever intentional. Very rarely do they deliberately do it, and when they do it’s akin to Suarez. Are we saying handballs are only handballs when it’s a Gibbs/Oxlade Chmaberlain, Suarez moment? He’s got his arm out like an idiot in an unnatural position, stopping a cross. Easily a penalty

[–] SpookDootDude@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cross and installation, penalty and GET IN, SALAH

[–] Ook_1233@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The handball rule is shit.

[–] badonkagonk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Natural body position has pretty much always been a part of it. That’s not even remotely natural. No reason for his arm to be outstretched like that.

[–] Brzezwhiskey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How did they need Var for this?

[–] ITickleMyElbows@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah that a clear pen mate

[–] Mcool18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah that’s a clear pen

The sound of the net damn

[–] TurnItOffAndOnAgain-@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Frustrating for Everton. Konate should have been sent off

[–] TheOGBenjenRyan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Diaz has caused so many problems

[–] Teradonn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who the fuck defends like that, why is Keane like this

[–] GingerSpencer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It honestly grinds my gears that pundits in 2023 are still mentioning intent when discussing hand balls. Intentional hand balls are red cards. Intent is irrelevant when deciding on a penalty or free kick.

[–] leedler@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I never want to see Keane on the pitch for us again

Dyche’s faith in him makes me question an otherwise decent job he’s doing. Shambles.

[–] 5thAvenueIsShit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hate Liverpool but that was an obvious penalty, don’t get what the commentators are going on about by saying it wasn’t one.

[–] Rc5tr0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Following the Young discourse, I’ll be fascinated to see how people who moan about every reffing decision contort themselves to make this a controversy.

I haven't seen the clip yet so in my totally biased view it's never a pen, it's a brush

[–] HeIIbIazer23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was kinda expecting they ain't giving that pen tbh.

[–] Stonewalled89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Why leave your arm out like that in the box? What a stupid thing to do

[–] garybarlow0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Easy to say. It’s completely natural to have your arms out when you are running and turning

[–] thewrongnotes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It has to be given, but I really hate all these ball-to- hand penalties

[–] luke_205@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Literally the two big decisions in this game were so easily avoidable by Everton. They’ve defended so well too.

[–] themanebeat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Myklenko was excellent in the first half. Had it tough after the card but he kept Salah v quiet that first 45

[–] Fisktor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well they never call handballs usually in the pl

[–] kjm911@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s bizarre positioning of the arm from Keane and he really can’t complain

[–] Jasveen05@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Took them like 3 minutes to give the most blatant handball

[–] Potential-Touch-56@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You lot will always make a reason to complain

[–] Dobvius@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The other 2 penalty shouts were very weak but this one would have been absurd if not given

[–] jacksleepshere@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What a gift

[–] TehJofus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Keane is some kind of double agent, I’m convinced.

[–] OVO0O@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It was incomprehensible that he put his arm in that way.

[–] Historical-Truck-948@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Up the Reds!!

[–] SDLRob@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

brain fart by Keane... cost the team right there
