Marseille vs Athletic Bilbao

[Mooseybaby]

Marseille vs Athletic Bilbao - Europa League.

Thoughts on the Bilbao penalty decision chaps?

Watched the game live. Referee originally awarded a corner despite furious protests from Bilbao players. According to the commentary, referee was persuaded to change his mind and award a penalty by the goal line AAR, cue furious complaints from Marseille players, which carried on after the half time whistle.

Deliberate handball? Never in a month of Sunday's for me!

Fast forward to 4m 50s for penalty incident...

No handball for me. Had it hit his other hand (left hand) I would have given handball and a pen and I think the position of his other hand could have influenced the poor decision. Much easier with the benefit of replay.

No handball, but on the first live real time viewing I thought it looked like one.
