Neuer literally moves his leg towards Saka, with no intention or possibility of playing the ball, and fouls him. VAR once again proving how pointless it is. I think it's not clear cut. Initial thought was blatant pen. On 2nd viewing, Saka moves his leg for contact. On 3rd viewing, both players have moved their legs, Neuer's defense would be that his is towards the ball, although it's a very clumsy challenge. I think Bayern have got away with one because it was clumsy, but I can understand the point of view for no pen. I'm saying this as someone who was brought up with an Arsenal supporting Dad and taken to Highbury (once) during the Invincibles season, and a relative who has just signed into their academy. I'd have liked it to be a pen and I'd narrowly say it probably should have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for it. Equally first angle, goalie also steps in to him. Pretty sure he could have stayed on his feet and just put it in. https://streamin.me/v/89915d02 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it could well be given, I don't really see how that affects Bayern enough to cry about. It was just a little miscommunication that had no consequence to the gameplay itself Ref was excellent in his general demeanor and control of the game.

nebristolred Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) That Saka penalty shout is a real tricky one, and yet again just shows how hard it is to referee a game. I think you can make a pretty decent case for both shouts in reality, but for me it's not quite a pen. Saka clearly looks for it and although Neuer is a bit daft with his challenge, Saka deliberately leaves a trailing leg way too far out. As 50:50 as it is, I think it's a superb decision from the ref. The easy way out would've been to give it. Edited April 10 by nebristolred 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Leicester and Leeds forums in meltdown. Farke has no plan B, leaving subs too late to change the game, passing along the back far too much, Rodon to Ampadu then to Meslier....rinse and repeat.... Maresca also getting slated and many saying he should go...playing the wrong players, we'll get battered if we go up... Ipswich fans still % positive about McKenna and think he's doing a great job.

Also, for all the talk of us (Ipswich) being fortunate with injuries, Leeds have barely had a big injury all season. All of their best players/spine (Meslier/Rodon/Ampadu/Gray/Kamara/Rutter/Summerville/James/Piroe) have featured in 35+ games out of 42 to date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I am willing to overlook it seems to hit his head, his back arm is raised and the ball was travelling . Yes he should only give it if he's sure, but it's Eltringham. What I like is the defender doesn't move and good old Geoff walks past him to give it. Should be struck off, at least not selected for several weeks . Bet he does us within a month . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
