The other player pulled him, if he hadn’t he wouldn’t have handled it…

I love MCarthy at the moment

Macca having a worldy
Absolutely. He was clearly yanked back as he tried to break, the toon player pulling him back caused his shoulder to drop. Foul on Boufal.

Defo red and defo penalty, they were both our own faults totally.
McCarthy is seriously and I mean this having the game of his career, fucking 3 Worldies here.
Tbf, we’ve had a pretty good run with VAR this year

We’ve survived a VAR nightmare this half, let’s hope that that will gee them up for the second half…
I would argue it’s already evened itself out.
And that’s where VAR can improve. Looking at the whole of the situation, not just point of impact, like when Boufal was pulled around

Fair
Fuck that, be honest, no natural movement did that and how can a shoulder push forward like that when being pushed? It can’t, he did it did thinking he could get away, instinctive but stupid.
He got pulled, it made him twist and drop his shoulder into the ball, I maintain if he wasn’t being pulled his shoulder would have dropped nor his arm raise…
On a plus note.
That Irish Red Ale is superb. Almost London Pride ish.
On another plus note, it’s 2:30am here and we haven’t conceded yet

Commentator said that VAR looked at whether SaintMaximin pulled Boufal or not and judged that he hadn’t. They must have been looking elsewhere if that is the case…

I maintain you’ve a fucked body if you do that.
He dipped his shoulder to pushed the ball, no pull and momentum makes you do that, it was instinctive and a lack of discipline.
