Never a pen but I guess you have to just accept the refs decision and move on. Surely Eddie Howe agrees.

PSG for all the stardom are a pretty poor team.

If Newcastles bench wasn’t full of GKs and 16 year olds they’d of got the win.

PSG and their ultras made to look like right mugs over this fixture.

Shocking decision. But love the absurdity/hilarity of the reaction to this decision by BT commentary team vs Sky and Gary Neville during the Newcastle Arsenal.

I'd never heard the word stooping used with such authoritive and nuanced technicality.

I hate the Champions League handball rule.

The only way var can review this and believe theres anything in it shows this sports rigged. Impossible that 4 unbias professionals and ref believe this is a penalty. Ceferin and his buddy at P$G are laughing

Atleast moving forward, the toon know to all chop their arms off before kick off to stop this from happening

Woeful decision ffs

It’s not even worth being annoyed at these bullshit calls. It’s all a fucking lottery and you either win or lose

You have to say that is objectively deeply deeply funny.

Corruption??

Hit the elbow in the penalty area, counts as a foul. If it was a tackle, then PSG would be rewarded the penalty. Correct me if I'm wrong.

VAR=... various Arabic royalties?

I think a lot of us have no idea what the laws are since the commentators have no clue and say things like oh body first never a pen when that might not be in the laws at all.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team!

UEFA handball rules are horrible.

PSG has UEFA in their pockets, shaking my head....

Horrendous call. When will clubs start fielding amputees to combat this issue?

And commentator was saying this is one of the best refs in the world, dude's a fucking knobhead for that terrible decision. UEFA wasn't going to let the scumbag NAK leave sad.

Football is just gradually eroding.

It's a low scoring game. One goal makes a massive difference and it's just becoming so often that difference is nothing to do with skill, all to do with decisions.

I dunno why the football authorities want to make it that way.

Can’t wrap my brain around who wants to be a defender in todays game, looks like a shit job

Booed the hello out of Messi now that he is gonna they have to rob Newcastle lmao

That mbappe ref talk at half time really worked. I need mbappe to talk to my bosses regarding giving me a raise

Can't wait for the Worldnews update, SA invades Qatar

The check finally cleared I suppose. 🙄

in what bloody universe is that a penalty?

If he didn't handball it there'd be no punishment. It's not fair on clubs who don't handball in their area, regardless of mitigating circumstances.

As long as others are treated the same way in future Newcastle should be punished.

There is no question about it Newcastle were robbed.

But by god it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving team😂

Horrible call indeed. That was totally unintentional. I can only guess the referees discussed that the "arm was extended away from the body" but that is certainly not an "unnatural position". So I don't get what the rule even is anymore.

and this is why the handball rule is fucked. this ref gave a pen, while something similar will happen in another match and another ref won't give a pen. Doesn't matter what the actual rule is, comes down to the level of delusion that the ref has within him

Awful decision by the ref there. The ball clearly touches the body first and then it touches the arm.

lmao at these sportwashing teams fucking each other and calling for justice lol

Oilcastle United owners haven't got the hang of the bribes yet. It'll come don't worry lads.

Best case of karma I have ever seen.

Although, unlike the team Newcastle cheated to get three points, they still got one tonight.

LOL anything to cheat a win

Let me just put it this way, if you replaced Newcastle with Inter...even I would be livid at seeing this call.

What an injustice. Absolutely the wrong call. The defender is pivoting and pushing off so naturally his arms gonna go up for counterbalance. Anyone who's ran fucking knows that, except for the ref.

Soft call

lol this sub is just full of Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City, Barcelona & Real Madrid fans who can’t take a loss. All teams get fucked by VAR eventually, today it was Arsenals turn. Stop your fucking whinging.

Ohh nyoo, Newcastle got screwed by VAR?

You know it’s a terrible call when you feel righteous anger on behalf of a team you hate

That is truly one of the worst calls I’ve seen

Don't think I've ever seen such agreement on a decision in a thread tbh

Marciniak z ty debilu.

Rule mentions, if the arm is in an unnatural position. This rule is so dumb, So running like a normal human is unnatural, But gluuing your Arms to you body so the ball doesn't Hit the arms and when it hits it's not a pen, is a natural position

Genius

He wasn't even going to give it in the first place.

That’s a terrible call. Was it initially called a handball or was this an overturned non-call through VAR? If it was VAR making the call then just even more proof refs will find the way to rig a game.

I think UEFA prefer Qatar oil :)

Karma for Arsenal. What goes around comes around.

Match fixing

So now no player apart from Mbappe at PSG can score goals when points are most needed

Sweet karma ☺️
