Don’t see the argument on the penalty either!

Pedro gets the ball and Saliba makes contact, clear foul.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah it’s pretty clear cut.

The penalty decision was correct one. Anywhere on the pitch it would've been a freekick. The only strange thing about the decision it was first time we see a headbutt penalty. May be a red card was missing 😕
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean calling it a headbutt is hyperbolic because that implies intent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What else would you call it? It's not a clash of heads as that would imply 50/50
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd lean towards clash of heads over headbutt because he has every right to put his head there, he was just a little late, so i think that better describes the situation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So it’s still a foul then?

Put it this way

Balls cleared and an Arsenal player & Brighton player go up for a header. The Arsenal player wins the ball and the Brighton player makes contact with the Arsenal players head.

Foul, yes?

Bit of a stupid thing to say, Liverpool havent even played half the games. So have Arsenal bottled it already and if they go on to win it still bottled it?

Your lead has been bigger though so it would be a far bigger bottle job compared to ours.

5 it's ahead in Jan. So if Arsenal got on to win, they'll get zero credit, because it's a bottlejob, right. Fvckwit.

I've never at any point said it wasn't a foul.

All I've said it that it wasn't a headbutt and there were a couple of more clearcut fouls not given in other areas of the pitch, so ref was slightly inconsistent.

I think it was a pen, just a weird and stupid one.

Obvs each to their own but imo? It's not a pen? It was simply a clash of heads, neither was trying to foul each other and they collided?

I get other fans will see it differently and that is what it is

So poor that from the Brighton keeper.

Why are Scousers so angry for?

Can't see anyone other than the Scousers winning the league.

Arsenal should be worried about City

In your opinion? Yes I just think it's two players going for the ball and their heads collided? It's an opinion call and it could have gone either way, Me? I just don't think it's a pen but the ref is did so that's the final call

It was a late challenge by saliba the ball was knicked away from him and he caught the player instead. No diff to if its foot on foot and the same happens a player wins the ball first and the other kicks his foot its a pen.

Its unfortunate for Saliba but in the box if you're making a challenge make sure you win the ball first. As i said Taylor gave himself plenty of time to think if he could overturn it before blowing for the pen. Rightly so, he couldnt and had to give it.

Two players go for the ball on the ground and one wins it and the other makes contact with the player, it’s a foul.

Watching the replays on tv now it’s a clear pen for me.

It's an interesting one. Onana a couple of times last season came charging out to punch the ball away and caught the opposition player in the head. Everyone was pretty unanimous in their views that it was a penalty.

I don't really see that foul as any different. Makes an attempt for the ball, doesn't get, catches the player with a bit of force. Pen all day imo.

Exactly, if you make a challenge for the ball in your penalty box, don't get it and get the oppo players most the time its a penalty isnt it?

I agree. A heatbutt is something I consider intentional, an act of violence or aggression. He just mistimed his challenge, gave the ref a decision to make.

Yeah in all honesty it's such light contact that in different circumstances it wouldn't send the opposition down, but because he's not getting the ball anyway and in the area he's obviously gonna go down and rightly so.

No saka, no party.
