at this point wolves should just walk off the pitch and demand a replay due to incompetence of the refs
Can someone share a link to a really good slow motion of the first penalty? I have watched it in real time (but not close up) over and over and it looks like it might be a penalty. I could not see conclusively that he got the ball first. I think I need a better replay to understand the controversy.
The refs getting payback for Wolves beating City earlier in the season /s
Wolves robbed again. O’Neil needs to come out and say something
1st penalty given after that one angle conclusively shows that he touched the ball and didn’t step on or trip Cairney. Hilarious stuff
Honest question, what is the relevance to him touching the ball? Romero clearly touched the ball and got sent off against Chelsea…
Is it just the force of Romero’s kick? Because just touching the ball clearly didn’t cancel his foul
Touching the ball is usually the biggest factor in a tackle being fair or foul. In this instance, he touched the ball and made little to no contact with the player. That’s just a clean tackle. Romero caught the player high on the follow-through with his other foot, if I remember correctly. Reckless and forceful is always asking for trouble. Getting a touch on the ball doesn’t give you licence to take everything anymore.
What has changed with Hwang? The kid has become a legit threat in the EPL after subpar and inconsistent club performances in the Bundesliga and EPL the past 3 years.
