Is Stuart Attwell feeling okay? Penalty confirmed within 30 seconds of the penalty being awarded!

However, unlike Stuart, that is purely simulation for me by Gordon

Seems bizarre they managed to confirm the penalty so quick when every replay seems to suggest simulation

That's what I thought on all the replays as well. But in the last replay it shows Ederson got pulled/tripped) Gordon on top of his foot where his shoe laces are.
 
Around 14th min I thought there was and advantage played on a DOGSO however the result was nowhere near an OGSO. Did anyone else notice it? The foul was on Gordon about 5 yards outside the area almost directly in front I think.

I'll grant you that the fall was dramatic, but every replay I saw did show contact. To be completely honest (and I'm not a Newcastle fan or a City detractor), this is one where I felt video replay "confirmed" the decision (i.e. the video showed with a high degree of certainty that the onfield call was correct).

Also thought the later play near the City goal area was the right call. Yes, a little contact, but nothing rising to the level of a foul for me in that instance.
 
This is why I love the subjectivity of refereeing

Until I see a replay that outright confirms there was contact, I am still in the dive camp.

Even if there is minimal contact, Gordon has gone looking for it and has scored 10s for simulation

But absolutely right for VAR to not re-referee the situation, we don’t want to go back to 6 minute VAR Decisions
 
It's a dive and called it immediately.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, var rewards cheaters. Empower them to give the right decisions and the game will be much better for it
 
I'm not really seeing anything other than penalty here, Ederson's body lands right in front of Gordon's left foot, there's absolutely no way he could avoid the contact. Absolute clear penalty for me.

Agreed it’s a penalty. If Jarred hadn’t given it he would be getting pelters.

Sometimes, we don’t give these PGMOL officials a chance, & we’re on their side 😂

In all honesty (Toon fan here) I've lost count of the number of penalties Gordon has been able to "win" with over-exagerrated falls/reactions to challenges so I (sort of) feel your pain. ;)
I'll caveat that with the fact that I've not yet seen the incident but the endorsement of the decision by learned neutrals (unlike yourself) on here is enough for me at this point.
I may (after watching the match highlights later) comment further ...

This is a classic Harry Kane/Mo Salah special. Initiated the contacted and went down with the theatrical dive.

Ederson should have known better for the quality keeper he is.

Watch it again, he really didn't initiate the contact. Gordon's foot was on the ground, Ederson landed immediately in front of it, what was Gordon supposed to do? Seems that the only people in the game that have issues with this are referees, the commentators and pundits all said it was a penalty, and even Pep isn't complaining.
