Danny Murphy PRAISES Referee For NOT Giving Bayern Munich A Penalty After Gabriel's Handball 👀 

He’s 22 actually.

@@87Michaelhe’s 26 what you on about

Age has nothing to do with it. He didn’t hear the whistle.

I believe the ref got it spot on. Yes, technically it's a penalty offence. But had it given it, there would have been a furore. No advantage was being sought or gained by what Gabriel did, which is the point of the handball rule. It was a genuine mistake and in the spirit of the game, should not have been punished. It's very similar to a goal Arsenal scored in an FA Cup match against a Steve Bruce team (Sheffield Utd?). An Arsenal player took a quick throw-in, when the other team had deliberately put the ball out, from which Arsenal scored. On realizing the genuine mistake, where a goal was given following the letter of the law, Arsenal FC offered the other team a replay, realizing the letter of the law had been followed rather than the spirit of the game.

Yes you are 100% correct

Lacking professional integrity

listen...common sense is what we talking about.....

What are you a United fan? You just come here to cry about arsenal

Tuchel said that's what the ref said to the players. He didn't even say it to tuchel 😂

​@@commanderneyo55what does it have to do with United ? 🤦

Rational sense? Or just because it's the law....What did Gabriel do that was disadvantageous to bayern?...Almost every other rules deals with circumstances where one team was disadvantaged whether directly or indirectly....How was Bayern disadvantaged by what Gabriel did from a goal kick situation?...

Incomparable

Absolutely! Arsenal fans are even moaning that the Saka dive was a penalty. Arsenal fans are becoming so annoying

Completely agreed

Then scream on behalf of Bayern if that will make you feel better. Or maybe they should recall the game and give the penalty so that people like you can sleep better at night

@@batman1980 they've ALWAYS been annoying. the most deluded lot in the league

Doesn’t makes sense to say if it was against Liverpool because then he’d be biased. He’s a neutral in this and that’s the better position to take

​@@MrKeefy1967we must follow the rules or stop playing, are u insane do we cancel goals based on players faking contact where the is none. Tmeither we follow the rules or the arent any rules.

@@zwelethumahlalela8685 Why? Why must we follow the rules blindly like sheep without engaging our brains or our human instincts? I'm not insane, I'm a human. Are you a machine? An automaton? A computer which blindly follows the logic of its programming and questions nothing, applies zero common sense? I'll leave you with this: Referees are trained to interpret the laws not apply them to the letter.

No he's not. Anyone with any sense of sporting integrity wouldn't want to be given a penalty in those circumstances.

We have rules fo a reason, the moment we break them because we feel like it then we are lost. If u go to court for doing something u had no idea was even against the law and the judge k ows for sure u didnt know he still punishes u anyway because ignorance is not a defnce for breaking the rules, Gabriel picked up a ball after a pass from the goalie and that is aganst the rules so it is without a doubt a pen.

@@zwelethumahlalela8685 and a red for deliberate handle in the box. And Raya can’t pick it up cause he just played the ball.

The ref should never be allowed to ref a game again. Totally hopeless.

For the love of the game i agree, but you cant tell the players its a kids mistake, lol. Its the quaterfinals of the CL, so much money and prestige on the line and the rules are there for a reason

And the cb not pick it up and move it back into the 6 to pass it right back to the keeper. Either a red for deliberate handle in the box or a yellow for time wasting.

Yes. This.

@@Cafez27 Well said Sir. I was beginning to think I was the only sane one on here!

​@MrKeefy1967 you're spot, the reason for penalty punishment for an offence for trying to gain undue advantage in the box 18, so if that is not established just like a handball that is not not meant to gain advantage because they are not dangling in the air or trying to block a shot or cross, alot of fans need to understand that there are occasions referees will have to use their discretion in interpreting these decisions

Kane should have been sent off he’s done it before!

Great analogy

😂 nailed it

That's completely different.

exactly...schoolboy error! 😂😂

​@@KevinSheedy10 it was just a littke error. he wasnt ready yet!

And went complaining about his dive to the ref. Saka is world class in diving

He's always on it

Yes

He has some shocking opinions

Semen? Yes, he can’t get enough.

Lol

Arsenal fan. I agree. Saw Elliot do it and win a pen at the weekend.

@@deanyvoys2181well that’s liverpool, let their fans justify it

@@deanyvoys2181 The Elliott pen was totally different, If a defender scythes his leg across the path of an attacking player - making contact then that is a penalty - intent or not.. It's as simple as that. Picking up a ball in the penalty area is handball and therefore a penalty. Saka thrust his leg FORWARD (This is obvious by watching the slo-mo) onto a goalkeeper in a desperate effort to con the ref into blowing for a pen. That it NOT a penalty.

@@fqq4137 ha yeah, I was making a statement rather than justifying. He should have stayed up. But if he got the pen I would have been pleased even whilst thinking this behaviour isn't 'right'. Vardy won tons of pens throwing his trailing legs into defenders. Would like to see it removed from the game ideally

Saka jumped into Neuer, he wasn't in control of his body. He was like a kick boxer that kicked Neuer. If Saka didn't jump half a meter before contact, it's a penalty but he jumped a meter or half before contact.

@@MrKeefy1967Cut and paste in overdrive today

@@bobsocks7575 Agreed! But it is the same answer to all those making the same point, so why not? Apologies if you're having to read it numerous times!

So nuance shouldn't exist in football then? I believe that Only actions that give another team unfairly treatment/ advantage should be penalized...laws? You know it's deem illegal to linger after a funeral in the UK , that's how I would contextualize the Gabriel incident.

@@wavogardylo5780 yeah but every arsenal fan should accept it should have been a penalty

​@@MrKeefy1967 literally the worst argument ever.. it doesnt matter about how it affects the game or what the intentions were its a pen

@@mr-ov5gt according to this guy's logic, arsenal defenders could be allowed to play basketball in the penalty area as long as Bayern don't chase them down lol. I mean, no advantage is being gained, right? 🤣 We can even let backpasses be allowed too if there's no advantage being gained. People living in cloud cuckooland out here...

Those are not in the penalty box let’s stop playing dumb here

@@SouthJerzVillains So your logic is foul outside penalty box shouldn't be awarded or what? Please explain as you seem so intelligent

@@SouthJerzVillains it's the same principle. The fact that an overly technical ruling here would have resulted in a penalty is all the MORE reason to apply common sense.

​@@88Masoncwhat the f does that mean. Did you start watching football yesterday

@@Jac76906 its a response to the original comment using his same logic over who should have lost. Mind your business and you might follow along

So if a striker doesn't hear the whistle for offside, it's okay

and yet, law 5.2 says they do

Neither did I, I don’t think anyone did and are all piping up because Tuchel said it after the game. The commentators didn’t pick up on it.

Yeah i have to say i didn't pick up on it either. At the end of the day, it's not really relevant though. It was a penalty.

@@paulmallon9292 my understanding of it was that the ref didn’t say it was a mistake but he told the Bayern players that he told them to retake. So unless the ref clarifies it no one will really know if it was a mistake on his part or he told Raya/Gabrielle to retake. That’s how it looked in real time, that it was the routine that they usually do Raya gives Gabriel the ball and Gabriel restarts passing it Raya.

@@matthewbarber13 Yeah, if that's true then that's a fair point.

@@paulmallon9292in all honesty I was glad to watch the game without so much VAR interference.

@@MrKeefy1967 nowhere in the handball rule does the word "advantage" feature...so it's ludicrous to suggest that's the "point of the handball rule". if "technically" it's a penalty offence, then "technically"...it should've been given! (btw, perhaps someone should remind Saka of the "Spirit of the game" 😜)

@@shanem19761 It's common sense, something you clearly lack. Common sense trumps the rulebook EVERY time, which is why we have human beings as refs, not robots. A rulebook can not cover every possible eventuality, sometimes the principle of common sense has to be applied. The handball rule was conceived to penalise someone gaining an advantage from the ball hitting their hand, which is why the principle of accidental handball was incorporated - you don't want to penalise someone who wasn't seeking to gain an advantage and didn't gain an advantage. This has been modified over time so that now we have the rule that says even if a handball was accidental, if a forward gains an advantage (ie a goal is scored directly or indirectly) it has to be penalised. Yes, technically it should have been given - 100%. But common sense should always overrule a technicality and we should celebrate this, not pedantically scream "rules are rules and we don't have the common sense to disregard them when necessary".

@@MrKeefy1967 it could be a red as well because it’s a deliberate handle of the ball in the box.

Well to be fair. He didn't complain about Saka penalty appeal. So it is what it is I suppose.
