1. The ball hit the city player's hand but it was not a handball. the rules are clear:

"Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.

It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.

So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby."

Ball clearly ricochets of Lovren onto Silva's arm. That is not a handball by the rules.

Then in the same passage of play, the ball is played onto Arnold's outstretched arm. here is what the rules have to say about that:

"If the ball hits a player who has made their body "unnaturally bigger" then a foul will be awarded."

by having his hand outstretched, he certainly made his body bigger. the ref has defended this by saying he didn't think it was intentional, but the intention is not the appropriate test. unnatural positioning is, and going by that, that was a clear penalty.

2. I didn' t see the second one but by narration, it should have been a penalty.
So you would have ignored the fact that it hit Silva's hand and given a penalty for Trent's

Wonderful

Alright, have an awesome day

at the embloden
Should a referee use his or her discretion in penalising infractions in a match or follow the letters of the law as prescribed by the governing body?
It was because of difficult decisions that VAR was introduced

But in a match, the referee is totally in charge of a match. And yes, he can use his discretion. That's why a referee can penalize a striker for diving, even when there was a contact

If Sterling had pinned the ball on his leg, raised it up and placed it on a defender's arm, would you as a referee give a penalty? The answer is no.

as a Chelsea fan, I supported Liverpool to win but the ref and VAR officials were shit. You have to be consistent with decision making like it is done in other league and according to the rules. It could happen to anybody. It happened to us against Watford. Even though we won, I was angry with the ref
The only mistake I see on Oliver was that he should have called a foul against Silva.

The second one to me was okay.

Mane played the ball intentionally to his hands as e saw him stretched out his hand pointing at his player since you came up with that useless idea.......
And where was his hand?

Where was Trent's hand, and where was Sissoko's hand?

Judge without emotions for once. Please undecided

I watched portions of the match. I think the article in the OP is referring to one of the incidents....that's the one I saw and I am talking about
Lets reason as neutrals

For the first one, the ball hit a City's player hand first, and then a Liverpool's player hand, all in the box. If you were a referee, what foul would you call?

For the second one, Sterling was close to a defender, and deliberately played it on his hand. I quite agree that it could pass as a penalty, but then, if it was given, we would see 5 similar cases in one match. I feel the referee used his discretion and ignored it

So may I hear your views on both?

this is not about var rules. Hand ball rules, offside rules, goal kick rules and drop kick rules are set and were changed by FIFA before the beginning of this season . It was clear that Arnold hands left his body and made his body bigger
Okay, I have heard

As for me, I saw 3 penalty cases in that match. 2 were hand balls while the other was the pushing of sterling within the 18 yard box near the corner line
I think the referee was to lenient with the cards on Liverpool though

FYI I don't care about any team in EPL..if I see a wrong call by the ref I'll talk.. and you saying Sterling did it on purpose means you started watching ball last week because that's not an excuse..... there's no rule on that and it has happened a million times and it was given as PK...
Can you show me how many times this season, this type of case occurred, and they gave a penalty?

Show me please.

I'm a man Utd fan here so Ivan speak as a complete neutral.

A penalty is a penalty. If it means giving 5 penalties a game then they should change the rules not refuse to apply them. That was a penalty to me, and I believe it would have been called as such in many other games.

I don't know about conspiracy theories though.
There were two cases that had penalty controversies

Which one are you referring to?

His hands should be at his back.... The PK that was given to Liverpool against Spurs then shouldn't be a PK because the player was pointing to his player to Mark a player... I'm sure you didn't watch that match...
I just gave you the rule to read

Was his hand in its natural position? Yes or No?

I don't type with emotions. Sorry

Last time I checked I didn't create this thread so talk with sense.... Even when that goal was cancelled I felt bad for Liverpool and EPL VAR operators are SHIT....
You felt bad for them right?
You didn't think they were being favoured?

But now, you think they are being assisted Abi?

Learn to analyze a match without being emotional.

I'll still say it again and again. If Oliver had given Sterling that penalty, then we will be seeing that stunt in every single match, again and again

Sterling did it on purpose. The distance was very close and there's no way it wouldn't hit anyone's hand. Oliver used his discretion. Simple

that is a clear penalty. 1. The hand is not in a natural position( veltman hand ball against Chelsea. 2.the hand made Arnold body bigger
VAR rules in EPL and UEFA are different

And I ask you again, where was Arnold's hand supposed to be? Just tell me where he should have kept it, and I'll agree it's a penalty

The funny thing about this incident is before the end of this season, same thing will happen to Liverpool and their fans perspective will change...till it happens to your club you'll know that second handball was a clear PK....VAR is USELESS

if it hit Silva hands then the right decision would have been to return the ball for a handball against mancity. The rules are clear but English ref love to behave the way it suit them
That's the mistake Oliver made, to me

He should have blown a foul against City, instead of a play-on: like an advantage for Liverpool

That can never be a penalty, even in Nigerian league sef
