AVL v TOT

[captainwinsor]

Surprised no one is discussing the Kane penalty. Did I miss something? It looked like the keeper was there first and Kane dropped his leg down to trip over him. The ref didn’t think it was a penalty but then VAR gets involved and all of a sudden it’s overturned.

I agree it's very hard to understand. I don't think it's a pen. It emphatically is not a clear and obvious error.

i thought this was a clear act of simulation as soon as a saw it. kane is clearly dropping to initiate contact with Martinez, which he succeeds in doing and then goes down. cheating rewarded yet again

But he is the England Captain, so he can do no wrong....

yes, it wasn't a penalty, as Kane initiated the contact.

kane gets away with so much!

those backing in fouls where he upends a player already in the air, incredibly dangerous (think he actually got a pen for this once as well)
he's committed some really poor tackles in the past (easy reds) and only got yellow
not to mention these dives

The ref gives a thumbs up, presumably to the AR and points for a corner. Where was the clear and obvious error?

well corner is definitely wrong as keeper doesn't touch it

Could be. But that doesn’t make it reviewable As CK/GK is not a reviewable error. (Though I suspect it will be someday after a wrongly awarded CK results in a high profile goal.)

oh absolutely, not suggesting that's what it was reviewed.

IMO the only clear and obvious error in the play is the award of a corner (I mean aside from not recognising the dive). if the referee says to VAR that he thinks its not a pen because it's a fair tackle and the balls gone out for a corner then that is 100% wrong and maybe why we ended up where we are

I just watched it again. It sure looks to me as if it touches his left arm when its on the ground but regardless, it’s a dive for me
