Match Day Thread Southampton v Aston Villa Saturday 30/1/2021 8pm Sky Sports

Calling it now. Not our day

 

Does it make a difference if the ball hit another part of the villa player before it hit his hand?

 

Yes.

 

On the wine yet? That might’ve tipped some over the edge

 

Stephens derending for the wrong team there, floored by a Saints shot

 

And the game handed to them in some weird law

 

Yes; under the current rule, if it deflected off his leg it wouldn't be a pen. But it didn't appear that was the case.

 

Yep had a glass. Not enjoying it surprisingly after a month.

 

Not VAR - The people operating it.

Officials just make the rules up as they go along sometimes I swear, I haven’t seen anything as clear as that not given since VAR came in.

Pretty sure they have decided against because it hit his leg first so they deemed it accidental, but the tit had his arm right out, no defence against that. Was even lucky not to be sent off.

 

Only thing I can think of is that he thought it came off his thigh, if it did then would’ve been the slightest touch but rules are rules innit @tomw24

 

Called it

 

No, but i think a Saints player had his hand on a Villa players shoulder just before. So was that they got a free kick?

 

Except the Vokins loan was happening regardless of Tuesdays performance, so shut the **** up

 

I wouldn’t mind that if he hadn’t reacted with his hand to “save” the shot. It wasn’t the ball hitting his hand, it was a save

 

Yeah it came off his thigh, great decision

 

Ah it came off his thigh before it hit his arm.

 

With that VAR decision we are back to saying “oh well these things even themselves out over a season” like we did pre VAR.

So VAR is pointless.

 

Fair enough, it's not a pen after all.

 

Another ****ing ridiculous rule!!! ****ing joke. The hand stopped a goal.

bunch of fecking cnuts

 

Not a pen, that's still ridiculous
