The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled the referee and the VAR were correct to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal.
If the goal was disallowed because of the foul. This doesn’t get spoke about 30 seconds after the incident.
It’s far from controversial to say that that’s a foul… because it is one. Sometimes you have to look at how it may of been handled had it gone the other way. I don’t think Newcastle would of said a word had it been a foul.
I think a lot of the outrage on this one was because it just feels more unfair when 3 50/50 calls all go against you.
Also watching the match the initial anger was more around the ball going out. In a lot of people’s minds it wasn’t a goal long before they even saw the possible foul (it was quick and hard to see live).
People are better at moving on to another argument as to why they are still right than admitting they might be wrong. I think that’s why you see so many people 100% confident this is a foul. It allows them to not have to change their mind.
The foul isn’t a 50/50 imo. It’s so obviously a foul that I honestly can’t understand anyone saying otherwise. The ball out of play and the offside are much more 50/50 calls
You see you start with IN YOUR OPINION. You’re biased to start and then the fact that many professionals say different things should perhaps make you realize your opinion is not universally shared.
When multiple neutral professionals say it’s a close call then just maybe your starting position of it’s a clear and obvious foul and there’s no debating it is perhaps maybe flawed?
I know my opinion isn’t universally shared. That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Every time I watch the goal I try to see how it isn’t a foul and I can’t. He used Gabriel’s neck as a springboard
