       30 hours later I still don’t get how it wasn’t a penalty.
       Clearly moved his hand to the ball. Then again when you see it’s
       David Coote on VAR he might as well have caught it. As usual
       rather than making the right decision just like in Friday at
       Villa park, VAR officials finding every way to say it’s not a
       clear error and back up the on-field referee.
       Other than that thought Chris Kavanagh was excellent and he even
       showed some common sense to not send Saka off. wow! Referees
       have this? A certain colleague earlier in the day could have
       done with some.
       Kavanagh should really get a cup final this year but don’t be
       surprised when it’s Bankes and Coote on EFL and FA.

       Only saw the highlights but on a personal note im happy he
       bounced back from time away and has had some great appointments
       with minimum controversy. Used to like him with his old team of
       dan cook and sian. This new team look just as good together.
       Like to see dan r get a white badge this year with james m

       Both James Mainwaring and Dan Robathan deserve the badge, with
       the former having done a uel group stage game this season
       Constantine Hatzadakis will most likely step down and I think
       Harry Lennard should as well as he doesn’t really get
       appointments and doesn’t seem to get many good ones in the
       league either

       According to Dermot Gallagher, the VAR (Coote) deemed that the
       Arsenal player slipped and as a consequence he made his body
       smaller. Even Gallagher deemed this wasn’t sufficient reasoning
       and it should have been a penalty.
       Is there anything in the LOTG that state a slip negates an
       offence? At no point did Odergaard use his arm to support his
       body.

       Howard Webb supports Gallagher's view that this should have been
       a penalty. To quote in today's Times, "If somebody falls, breaks
       their fall with the arm, it is all pretty natural and that is a
       well-established concept. This is not just Odegaard accidentally
       falling on to the ball. He does slip, his arm does go out, but
       he then pulls his arm back in towards his body which is when the
       ball makes contact with the arm. Whether it is instinctive or
       deliberate, he gets a huge advantage by bringing the arm back
       towards the ball. All the feedback we got was the game expects a
       penalty in this situation".
       I have to say I don't understand the last sentence. 'All the
       feedback we got', but what about his view and feedback to the
       officials? That's surely what's important here. A misquote
       perhaps? I have to say my sympathies are with Kavanagh and Coote
       with this scenario.

       "he gets a huge advantage by bringing the arm back towards the
       ball."
       sounds very logical but totally irrelevant in law.

       I'm pretty sure Webb said something at the end like 'I would
       expect a penalty too' or 'I agree with them' - I think he made
       it clear he felt a penalty should have been awarded but that bit
       hasn't been included in the Times article seemingly.

       Webb always seems to back what the feedback what he gets from
       what the game expects, but he never says who these people are
       that are giving feedback.
       Surely a standard should be set at the begining of the season
       and should remain that until the end of season, not keep
       changing guidance during a season to suit what the so called
       game expects
