Astafjevs Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 7 minutes ago, DJ said: Penalty all the way. Look at his arms. The left one is close to his body, the left one stretched out and moving backwards relative to his body. That is more than a jumping/equilibrium movement. It's an elbow check. And of course it is a foul that leads to a penalty. 'He didn't see the opponent' is no excuse. More replays I watch, more I come round to this. There's a bit of a difference between his raised left arm and raised right arm. Right one does seem to get a bit of extra thrust back. One of those where the player probably knows what he's doing, but never expect it to be given as a penalty. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Difference between the arms isn't really how you balance. Even just looking at it there, the right one for some reason gets thrown back towards Schick, the left one with no player near him doesn't. I think there'll be a load of these not given in the competition, so from a consistency point of view it's ****, but it should be given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haguey Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I suppose the ref has seen it like one of decisions where it might be totally accidental but still a foul as the player was still hurt and impeded. I also think this is probably a foul on most occasions elsewhere on the pitch. And there goes Rio with "intent", intent is irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amazing Dale Watkins Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 From one angle it actually looks like Lovren mistimed his jump and was going to miss most of the ball, so he did this wild swing with the arm to get his head on it. I still think that hitting Schick in the face was accidental, but yeah, I guess it was his own fault and a bit reckless. Changing my verdict to "meh".

I'll never get how some ex pros manage to offer so little insight.

Not some, but like 80% of them. Football isn't a thinking man's game. Most players are just instinctive and have the talent for the game, even the most creative ones. Then don't think about stuff, they just do what they're told and make instinctive passes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Dublin also kills time so that he can't get shown up on the replay if his instinct is wrong.
