Roo you will find the the Aussie defender just misses the ball and catches the player

Mate, BBC showed a replay where you can see the toes of the defender touch the ball and knock it onto Griezman. It’s a minimal touch, but that doesn’t matter. There was contact.

Even without seeing the touch you know there was one by the way the ball bounced off Greizmann. Like the penalty given to Carrick and Utd against Gomes. The ball pings off Carrick's foot out to the touch line but apparently Hero didn't get the ball.

Can't disagree but different angles always tell another story.

Perhaps the referee didn’t have the same number of replay angles that we did. If that’s the case, then it’s something they need to sort out. Despite having “evidence”, he was still wrong, which just makes even more of a mockery of VAR.

And he is supposed to be 100% certain. He can't have been.
 
Lawrenson moaning about the goalline technology, saying it was unnecessary.
Why does he think that the ref gave it in the first place? Prick.
