I agree they shouldn’t be penalties
But we were all told at the time that it was a clear penalty when City got that one.
So why the total lack of consistency?
If Onanas was a correct decision then this is a 100% certain penalty for handball.
But we were told during Onana’s replay that ‘it’s a pen in todays game’ and I would argue this was more of a pen than that one that was a yard out on a point blank powerful shot
I’d like them to both not be penalties for the good of the game but we were all told Onana gave away a pen so surely there should be consistency
I mean consistency is a whole different story. Just saying for me, not a pen, no matter what soft ones have come before it.
Well you got there first but much like they’re both the same thing and both pens, we both said the same things and are both right
Consistency is what matters most and it matters more than my subjective opinion on what should or should not be given as a penalty. I'd personally rather have barely any of these handball penalties but we've been penalised with them so its only right we expect to get a decision like tonight.
The lack of Consistency this season has made the league look ridiculous. The fact we still haven't had 1 penalty is a complete joke.
We’ve gone beyond the Dyche in the Dyche thread now so we’ll just leave it at a differing opinion.
I know it is said in jest but it is true. Watched the match and that Tony Gayle the co-commentator (ex Fulham) was so biased in decisions, agreed is was handball (pen) but nothing he could do about it therefore not a pen. Consistency is something VAR does not understand. Arm was well outside his body?? as in Pic Thought that was a pen

The law is an ass. I agree it’s harsh as it’s accidental. Just like Michael Keane at Anfield and Onana against City.
If you go to the rules of handball it should be a penalty.
In both of the instances against us the commentators agreed it’s harsh but they are given.
Robinson’s arm is out and the ball hits his hand. Pen.

The club really should be making more of a stink about this inconsistency.
Put pressure on the officials to either give us some or stop giving then against us.

Nah mate.
….he’s giving us a chance, very few managers in the game would achieve this. Doing a terrific job, we need to keep hold of him regardless of what happens.
