Anyone else think that penalty was VARs on 23:12 - Aug 18 with 261 views | Plums | That's the test they apply i.e. is there enough to overturn the on field decision. In this case, they clearly felt there wasn't. Not sure where a defender is supposed to put their arm in that situation but it clearly hit it. |  |

Anyone else think that penalty was VARs on 23:21 - Aug 18 with 233 views | _clive_baker_ | So it should be IMO. It’s meant to be there to overturn clear & obvious errors, I wouldn’t say that was one. |  | |  |
Anyone else think that penalty was VARs on 23:35 - Aug 18 with 185 views | bournemouthblue | Carragher and Neville are both saying penalty but I do side with Moyes and Tarkowski more Yes it has come from a long way out but isn't his arm in exactly the possession the law deems to be natural? I don't get the leaning down thing, if you're leaning down, you're surely not deliberately bending yourself down to block it with the arm? |  |

Surely "natural position" only applies when the ball is fired at the hand/arm so close that cannot be removed in time (ball to hand), and not for shots where you have time to move your arm or body and not lean your arm into it (hand to ball). |  |

He leant into the ball though not down. I thought it was a pen on 1st view as I thought his movement was to the ball on purpose to block it and regardless of the arm being natural he put his body/arm in the way on position and got it slightly wrong but its the risk you take when you make that movement. Another day hits harm above the sleeve line on the should maybe and its a good block. Agreed it was a 'stay with the original decision' and glad they did as this is how they said they would use VAR. I think ex players are pretty good judge of other players mindset and I think they called it Tarkowski 100% knew the risk and it was a pen despite whatever protests he was trying to fake on camera. |  | |  |
