I thought it was a stupid challenge and a penalty.
Yesterday’s was as well. Only difference is today’s was given.

Nice discussion going on in the off topic about you

INCIDENT: Willy Boly scored the opening goal of the game for Wolves in the 57th minute, appearing to use his hand to turn the ball home from a Joao Moutinho cross. The officials did not see the handball and the goal stood.

DERMOT'S VERDICT: Goal should have been disallowed.

DERMOT SAYS: The only time this was spotted on Saturday was on the replay. When it went in, I've thought 'what a good header'. But when the replay is shown, it's gone in off his arm. It's impossible for referee Martin Atkinson to see because of where he is when the ball comes across. I did feel for the assistant because he's looking at Matt Doherty to see if there's an offside. He can't be clear in Boly's headed that ball and when you look at the replays, it's gone in off his arm.

You could argue it is within the laws of the game because in the offside law, it shows a diagram of a player level with another player and his arm is ahead. It says you can't give offside because you can only give it as offside if he can score with that part of the body. So that infers that you cannot score with your hand.

INCIDENT: Manchester City had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Martin Atkinson as Ruben Neves tripped David Silva in the area.

DERMOT'S VERDICT: Correct decision.

DERMOT SAYS: My initial reaction was yes, it's clumsy. When I saw a replay of Martin's view, I think Silva actually kicks the Wolves player [Neves] and then trips himself. I think Martin sees the push, and from his angle - which is what I like to see - he clearly kicks Neves.

The first view I've got as a spectator is looking in and my gut reaction was to give a penalty. But when you see it from Martin's angle, it is not a penalty.

That's fucking laughable. The linesman can't be expected to see a handball with an unobstructed view because he was looking for offside?

And it didn't look like a penalty from Martin's angle therefore he can't give it, how did it look from the linesman's angle? Did he not see that Neves barged into the back of Silva? Can he not alert poor Martin and his poor angle? What a load of fucking horseshite.

So, if you seen the push,candidate you believed Atkinson seen the push, why wouldn't any of you give the penalty; surely the push led to Silva clipping his own legs and a push in the box is a penalty anyway?
