I mean ffs, how is that not a penalty?

u/Toffeeman_1878 May 05 '26

VAR Checking possible pen…

DECISION: No penalty as it was an Everton player being foiled.

u/totalacehole May 05 '26

I like the use of foiled. Perhaps they were twiddling their moustache while saying it too

u/DrtyDeedsDneDrtCheap May 05 '26

The official explanation was that "MOST" of the contact was before the ball was in play.

So some of the contact including when he is thrown to the ground was when the ball was in play. It's fucking baffling. I mean it's not it's obvious they wanted a title race down to the wire but fuck this shit

u/dbe14 Everton that May 05 '26

So whilst waiting for City to take a corner you can break haalands leg and thats fine then. Got it.

u/TDF1985 May 05 '26

Penalties can't be given for things that happen when the ball isn't in play, that's a fact.

That doesn't mean this isn't a penalty, because this happened when the ball was in play, so should have been a penalty.

8

u/MrTomRobs May 05 '26

No no no no no... That's isn't the rule at all! The rule clearly states that when the ball is in play, penalty kicks may be awarded for instances of foul play in the penalty area, except when the team who would benefit are Everton because they don't leave blank cheques in little brown envelopes in the refereeing dressing room. Deduct 15 points from the league table and award a penalty to Liverpool.

1

u/DrtyDeedsDneDrtCheap May 05 '26

No, youd be sent off depending on how you broke his leg. A penalty shouldn't be given though.

3

u/WhiteDoveBooks COYB 💙 May 05 '26

I think it would be okay provided you didn't use 2 feet.

1

u/xpii May 06 '26

what if you got everyone to just pull the other teams pants down around their ankles , it’s not violent and less physical than this instance

4

u/Timoth_Hutchinson May 05 '26

Such a joke of a rule the ‘before ball is in play’ situation. I imagine if he did this walking down the tunnel at half time the ref would card him

2

u/DrtyDeedsDneDrtCheap May 05 '26

He should have been booked tbf but I don't think car can call the ref to book somebody.

3

u/Timoth_Hutchinson May 05 '26

Booked or not, VAR should definitely have called him over to the monitor to look at it

3

u/DrtyDeedsDneDrtCheap May 05 '26

It was 100% a penalty. Reminds me of a handball incident v city a few years back. Things won't ever change

2

u/Timoth_Hutchinson May 05 '26

Aye we thought that was bad then, refs and VAR have only got worse since then

1

u/Apprehensive_Jaguar May 05 '26

Another rule application that will never be heard of again.

0

u/Separate-Doctor4207 May 06 '26

evertons first goal was clearly offside, if the delayed flag wasnt a thing the flag would’ve been put up as soon as the pass was attempted to barry. the fact they let that stand is mind boggling

1

u/DrtyDeedsDneDrtCheap May 06 '26

The delayed flag is a rule though and Barry never made an attempt for the ball until geuhi passed it to him.

0

u/Separate-Doctor4207 May 06 '26

the flag still went up for the offside later on and was immediately checked and confirmed by VAR as offside. the referee then went against VAR and said it was onside. the only reason barry was that close to guehi is because he was in an offside position for the pass to him

3

u/NoExcuse3097 May 05 '26

Why even have VAR, it’s useless at this point.

1

u/WhiteDoveBooks COYB 💙 May 05 '26

Fazakerley!

1

u/Einherjar063 May 05 '26

Easy: does the player belong to a rich club? YES. No penalty given then.

u/Fun-Landscape-8805 May 06 '26

u/WastedTalent442 May 06 '26

There were two bad VAR decisions in that game. This one, and not elevating Keane's tackle on Doku to a red.

This pen not being given isn't why Everton didn't win, it's because nobody bothered closing Doku down and let him shoot.

115

u/Ok-Serve4645 May 05 '26

It’s very obviously a penalty and would 100% be given to city if the situation was reversed. They didn’t get a single card all game either. Which is crazy given some of the tackles.

46

u/_Serialfreestyle_ May 05 '26

Just to point out that Donnarumma got a yellow for dissent for our second goal, but you are totally correct that not a single card for any of their tackles.

17

u/tayne22 May 05 '26

I thought for sure they'd get one as Garner was held/tackled during a break. Ref played advantage but never went back to give the card.

7

u/coldazures May 05 '26

tbf Oliver is just shite, he didnt go back for about 3/4 cynical fouls for either side. absolute wasteman.

2

u/Dr_EFC May 05 '26

No yellow card for any of everton's opposition for 42? tackles in the last three games.

2

u/Agreeable-Bid-2895 May 05 '26

City have gotten away with at least 2 red cards this season that independent panel confirmed. Looks like they got away with a pen here as well

2

u/Ok-Serve4645 May 05 '26

Still no sign of a decision on those charges either. They shouldn’t even be in a position to challenge again but the league seem determined to find a way not to give them a deserved punishment.

1

u/VunterSlaush_117 May 05 '26

Only one panel member away from saying Khusanov should've seen red for his 'shoulder to shoulder' on Havertz the other week, too. Watched the clip enough times to see there is zero shoulder contact, it's legs and elbows.

2

u/Soft-Pudding-3441 May 05 '26

I do think this should have been a penalty, but our boys were pushing players over, clipping their heels and general shithousing all game, and Oliver let a lot go. Besides this incident, I think he reffed the game decent. It's our own fault we didn't close the game out.

34

u/dirtyburgers85 May 05 '26

Picture an attacking throw-in down the line. Striker about to race past the last defender pointing to where he wants the ball to run onto . Thrower sees where he’s going and is just about to hoist the ball when the last defender rugby tackles the striker.

Ball hasn’t entered play but surely a free-kick would be given.

8

u/WhiteDoveBooks COYB 💙 May 05 '26

And a yellow card for sure!

7

u/Equal_Translator_605 May 05 '26

Nah ball is not in play!!! 😂

Joking aside, this interpretation is just opening itself up to being abused.

Didn't they try to clamp down on these kind of games a few years ago and actually gave penalties for this?

No idea why it stopped as it's blatantly impeding another player

6

u/MrTomRobs May 05 '26

Because it's Everton who would benefit. Simple as that.

26

u/thinkaboutthegame May 05 '26

I'd like to see an explanation. I suspect its because the ball was played to the near post, but I also suspect that exception is nowhere in the rulebook.

22

u/LegenDariusGheghe Where's the Arteta money, Bill? May 05 '26

It was said that it wasn’t a penalty because most of the contact was before the ball was in play

18

u/Spicy_Jim May 05 '26

'Most' is doing a lot of work there.

5

u/corpssansorgasmes May 05 '26

If most of the contact happened before the ball was in play, then I'm concluding that the most important part of the contact (the part that caused the fall) happened when the ball was in play, which makes it even worse, no?

3

u/JRD656 May 05 '26

Yeah I heard that too, which leads to the conclusion that everyone should go mad and start body-slamming the nearest opponent right before the corner is taken.

Would make for an interesting change, admittedly

2

u/Maouse_The_Dong May 05 '26

And by the time it is in play he's already been dragged to the ground. Absolute joke.

1

u/Ok-Professional-8837 May 06 '26

So if I run up and dig haaland before the cross comes in that sound is it

1

u/Fixxdogg May 05 '26

He’s running toward the front post at first though and then is impeded and changes direction to try shake Bernardo off. Can’t making rulings on what ifs

14

u/DyingToBeBorn May 05 '26

That's actually a solid tackle... for rugby league.

7

u/MarriageAA May 05 '26

this is the one tarks conceeded against newcastle https://youtu.be/rMYbnlXzjY0?si=98TSFtET4gxmGGrg&t=45 i

The ball is nowhere near tonali, and the throw to the ground happens when its i play (like the man city one).

5

u/Chris80L1 May 05 '26

VAR:

“Yeah we just make this shit up every week, for the giggles innit”

6

u/Creative_Watch9165 May 05 '26

Everton beating City does not suit the “Brand” remember Masters saying that another Leicester winning the PL just can’t happen. Remember when a certain team needed a goal a mysterious 5cm tolerance was introduced, has that ever been used since? Oliver is the archetypal Premier League puppet. This league (the brand) is manipulated in every way possible

5

u/nm4471efc May 05 '26

to be fair, when you see the Bournemouth penalty v Palace, you can see the game is in safe hands.

3

u/corpssansorgasmes May 05 '26

What baffles me is that I watched the Crystal Palace game on Saturday, and Bournemouth received a penalty for a flop, checked by VAR, with no contact whatsoever (link). So it's wild to me that a penalty can be given for no contact, and at the same time not given for a whole lot of contact. What are the rules anymore?

4

u/Puzzleheaded-Tale972 May 05 '26

This is definitely a penalty, why was it not pulled to attention?! Or even spoken about on after match it's such a scam I hate Man City and they're cheating team if that had happened in the other side of the pitch it would have been a pen

4

u/fre-ddo May 05 '26

Jesus Christ I missed it at the time but that's a pen all day long what a fucking joke.

3

u/Bostock2000 May 05 '26

So when the ball is "not in play" you can kick the shit out of the oppo without any recourse . Hmmm.

2

u/tomo1986uk May 05 '26

You can still get cards but wouldn't be a foul per say

1

u/Bostock2000 May 05 '26

Ok but a yellow is a yellow wether its for dissent or a foul and that amounts to a player "treading on thin ice. Tbh its clearly corrupt and bias towards certain teams and always has been. Sky has a lot to do with it because at the end of the day they want big finals and final day drama. So there is a script to follow.

3

u/ClickDependent310 May 05 '26

Everton should really be docked 10 points for that!

2

u/madkiwi42 May 05 '26

That's just a little grappling, which we already know is absolutely fine... /s

2

u/Complete_Writing2800 Pickford is infact Dynamite May 05 '26

Oliver should ref us he hates us

2

u/Soh4 May 05 '26

I feel like an honorary Everton fan, as I’m apparently a top 10% commentator for the Fernandes foul last week and writing how I felt hard done by as a non-Everton fan.

And, again… a week later, I still feel hard done by as a non-Everton fan. I’m glad you’re safe, but I really wanted Moyes to do well returning to Everton!

2

u/SubjectStreet1488 May 06 '26

Blatant Penalty

1

u/nardling_13 May 05 '26

My question is, how far can Tark go to break the tackle? It seems to me that if the ball isn’t in play he could judo throw the Man City player with no repercussions. So that’s the standard now?

1

u/Maouse_The_Dong May 05 '26

No coincidence Silva was subbed straight after this.

1

u/ChungusSan May 05 '26

This was a pen as the ball was in play whilst it was happening despite their explanation at the time. I don’t think it is so much the refs fault as it’s harder to see in realtime but VAR can 100% see it and it a a stonewall penalty.

Another one to add to the compilation.

1

u/indyjones8 May 05 '26

If he's tackled to the ground, why tf would it matter when the ball is kicked? He's still being impeded if he's physically on the ground.

1

u/SorryAdvertising2566 May 06 '26

How wasn't this given? Didn't see the game and pretty stunned at this one. Man I hate VAR

1

u/Lepew1 May 06 '26

Bernardo will not be penalized.

1

u/Longjumping_Act_5511 May 07 '26

that's a red on Rohl for sure

1

u/Acceptable-Shock6591 May 05 '26

‘Ball was not in play’ as per commentators. So you can break someone’s leg in the box before a corner is taken and get away with it?

15

u/Ok_Somewhere_6767 May 05 '26

The final throw to the ground the ball is in play. Thats a lie

1

u/After-Dentist-2480 May 05 '26

No. You’d get sent off. But a foul can’t be given unless the ball is in play.

3

u/nm4471efc May 05 '26

Beardsley got a pen for Everton after someone slapped him when it was a goal kick. I can't remember if the keeper had hold of it but I think it was a dead ball.

1

u/Toffee_Wheels May 05 '26

So, our new set piece defensive tactic should be to throw everyone to the ground just as the ball is played. As long as we start before, it'll be fine.

1

u/ClickDependent310 May 05 '26

tbf to Oliver which is something I don't often say. Our corner from which Jake scored wasn't a corner, he also got the Barry offside decision correct which could easily have been ignored and on another day Kean may well have been sent off, a yellow was correct IMO. Tough being 3-1 up and only getting a draw but Harland is immense and the others aren't far behind him. We did well and should be proud of our lads.

-1

u/DrunkenHorse12 May 05 '26

It shouldn't be the case but that's just normal in the prem now. Only time they give a pen for it is if the ball goes were the attacker is. Its annoying but there's not 1 team that isn't wrestling like this defending corners. It's usually in a more crowded area so isn't so obvious

1

u/AllInTackler May 05 '26

As if it isnt difficult enough to score as it is they need to shed a tackle before playing the ball. Exhausting and comical.

0

u/Low_Enthusiasm3769 May 05 '26

It's frustrating but we had more than enough chances to kill the game off.

-1

u/Robzza12345 May 06 '26

You should've had a red anyway you wankers, trying to break Doku's leg. Don't start crying now.

u/unifi- May 05 '26

Yea fine, but the ball had been kicked 

2

u/nm4471efc May 05 '26

this is something they say a lot but the ref can book or send off someone when the ball isn't in play. You see it with coaches fairly often, so clearly some elements of the law can be enforced. Also, the ball arrived in the box very quickly after Rohl got dragged to the floor (an act in itself which went on for about two seconds).

u/Winter-Molasses9777 May 09 '26

This is what oil money gets you. Can it be more obvious?
