"Fleeting"? When did that become a standard? Can't see that mentioned at all under the rules of foul play.
lol, 'fleeting'? He blatantly grabs his arm and pulls him back. I guess now every foul can be ignored because contact is 'fleeting'.
They can just deny whatever they like and use some bullshit excuse from the rule book... Fleeting... I mean what a load of tripe
Bizarre. I get that they don't want to interfere with the on-field decision (especially as the daft **** is only 5 yards away and has full vision of it), but VAR was supposed to be there for clear and obvious mistakes - and this was one. However short the contact was it was a clear, firm grab - if he'd have done that to his shirt, even momentarily, nobody would argue it was a pen. It's not as if he just pushed him or obstructed him for a moment - he literally grabbed hold of his wrist and stopped him getting to the ball in the box. Can't think of a more obvious definition of a penalty.
Here's the test as I see it - had that happened in the middle third and it stopped a breakaway there is no way on God's green earth that a foul and a yellow wouldn't have been given, however 'fleeting' the grab was deemed to be.
**** me Ern ... had you down as this season's dark horses ... more cart horses - what's going on? ...
Dud you pull their masters pants down in court over FFP PSR etc? ... the blatant offside not given by VAR for Palace's first goal last week has most of our conspiracy theorists the Prem have a points target in mind in revenge ...
Their signings - Kilman, Wan-Bisaka, Summerville and Fullkrug ... on top of a pretty good squad - would have loved us to have brought in that level of quality....
