but that was incredibly harsh of a call...

(I celebrated the VAR call from the Premier League clubs, but now I am not so sure I'm right)

Terrible call. But 19 premier league teams voted for more of these kind of terrible calls so unfortunately this is football now.

It was ridiculously harsh, another case of where the arms are away from the body, it is interpreted as a handball, despite it being perfectly reasonable for the arms to be out.

Well he did flap his hand at the ball and did gain a slight advantage from it. But both calls they’ve been right and carried out in at most half the time of VAR in the prem

Correct by the letter of the law, indeed - but probably on the harsher end of the scale

It is accidental but he gained an advantage from it as the handball takes the ball further away from the defender. Harsh but by the letter of the law the right decision for me.

If that handball had been given in real time by the ref I don’t think I’d have complained too much. I can see it being contentious though.

I think we should start a Tab about VAR decisions in Town games.

Lucky Ipswich v We Wuz Robbed decisions.

It evens out over the season - right?

We need it to be firmly in the Lucky Ipswich column.

I once jokingly wrote a column demanding Snicko should be brought in in football after Dean Gerken, then with Bristol City, had flapped at a long throw which had gone in and the referee had deemed he hadn't touched it, when it looked very much as if he did.

Me neither, looked like he flicked his hand at it as he tried to get it under control.

Squandering a golden generation and a limitless amount of young talent … England hold my beer, Belgium have got this.

Does it really take the ball further away from the defender? The spin changes but the ball doesn't seem to deviate from its trajectory at all.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Is this really how people want the game to be officiated? By a bunch of little geeks with wires and microchips and computers?

Not for me, Clive.

If there's no VAR, I don't think many people are watching that goal back and complaining about a clear & obvious mistake/handball.

Dean Gerken flapping at a ball? Surely not!
