Bring on Sunday
Just watched BT Sport Referee watch and says it's a penalty. As the law is supposedly written (whatever the **** it is at the moment) they reckon it's a handball. This is from a former ref as well.
Personally think Kimpembe made the decision for referee, he sticks his arm out and looks away from the ball. Doesn't take any responsibility.
Ahh well who gives a **** anyway, Neymar can go back to banging his sister and feeling his mums ****.mm.
Alright guys after much discussion and reenaccments i still dont think theres much he could do to move his arm away unless he removed it. Now if it hit the other hand yes its a pen but try jumping like the PSG defender did and the arm naturally comes down. Similar to the otamendi decision for me. Never a pen.
See my reply above. I largely agree on your arguments. But the above is why it's nearly always going to be handball
If he doesn't try to block it, it's a goal. If he makes himself big to block it and it knicks his arm, t's a pen. What are defenders supposed to do then? The game is done and the call stays, so no point arguing about it. But it's incredibly unfair to players the way it all works. Even Rio on the BT panel seemed bothered not by the call, but because Kimbape got ****** by the rules, basically.

Defender shouldn't have his movement restricted and be expected to move like a robot while attackers can move whichever they like.
It's not the first time to be honest several teams including United have come back from two goals down in the first leg, however, it is the first time it has been done away from home. Which makes it special. Just goes to prove that this team is getting back into the mindset of never giving up until the whistle goes, if Jose had been in charge that would never happen, he was too cautious even when chasing a game. I don't think many will want to face this team in the next round as they are not just the form team, they are getting back the fear factor of the Fergie years.FIRST TIME EVER IN CL HISTORY A CLUB HAS COME BACK FROM 2-0 SOQN TO WIN. HISTORYYYYYYY, THIS CLUB CREATES HISTORYYYYY.
His arm moves out towards the ball before he's even turned away, it's a stonewall pen. It isn't difficult to jump with your arms tucked in to your chest or held behind your back, so I'm not buying the "there's nothing he could do'' talk either. If you can't tell by the replay, look at the two pictures in this link then try and tell me Kimpembe doesn't know exactly what he's doing.

******* loved Fred last night protecting Rashford against those 3 PSG ***** trying to put him off and kick the peno spot. Wasn’t having non of it lol. Just shoved the 3 of them right out the way great performance last night to boot. Most distance covered, most passes, most tackles and interceptions BEAST!
