    Think that was a penalty for Man City tbh.

    If not for the arm that was on target and possibly troubling the keeper.

    Yep. Decisions like that have people criticise VAR, but it’s nothing to do with VAR, really. It’s all about the handball law. It needs sorted because what else is Rose to do there? Ferdinand was spot on.

    Don’t jump with your hands will outstretched trying to make your body bigger with your arms. When they’ve been well warned there’s not many excuses for me.

    He was bringing his arm down when the ball struck it. Nothing else he could have done. It’s completely unnatural to go down like that with your arms by your side or behind your back.

    VAR decisions will be correct to the current laws of the game. If you think a decision is "wrong" then it's the laws of the game you should challenge, not VAR.
    It was a stonewall penalty imo and the referee /VAR has applied the laws. Its like a save.

    Could have stayed on his feet and stuck a leg out to block it but went to ground making himself a bigger target to block the shot imo.

    Think it was correct.

    Kane is *. Tbh he probably didn’t need to make that challenge on Delph. Was never getting there.

    A lot of things you do on a football pitch is unnatural. If you jump arms outstretched and it hits off them it’s a handball for me.

    Yes.

    Hmm think it was ridiculously harsh.

    The law needs sorted. Getting to the stage where every player is expected to run about with their arms behind their back in the box.

    Is Kane going off really that bad? I think City will struggle with Lucas.

    He doesn’t jump, he slides in to block literally nowhere else he could have put his hand.. watch it at full speed..

    Sterling doesn’t even claim.

    Dele Alli is the most over rated player on earth. Absolute * tonight and he is often pretty average when I watch Spurs. So slow.

    Said since I seen him breakthrough at Athletic that Laporte would be world class, he is definitely near or there abouts.

    Please * not an all England final, this is brutal.

    I'd stick Madden on if it wasn't that I have City on for a win.

    But the decision is correct with the current laws of the game. Maybe they need changing but you can't blame the referee or VAR for that.
