Should the fact the final whistle went have impacted that decision at the end?

No, handball was before whistle.

I know that, but the Whistle going usually means game over

I'm also surprised that they're allowed restart the game because they've spotted something that happened before the final whistle.

If March consistently starts he could be a nice 5th mid at 5.0

Grabbed a goal but I’m thinking he surely doesn’t get space like he did today against a decent defence

But they need time to review it too, the Whistle went around 5 seconds after the header, I think it would be a different story if play went on for another minute

YES. The game was over. otherwise we can get Ref come back out of th edressing room to check VARS afterwards. Technically a mistake by the Ref

That was a bit crazy at the end, as a United fan, there’s not one of their players I’d be rushing to get into my team. Will keep Greenwood and Fernandes on the watchlist, Fernandes was really poor today, but still has penalties in his favour.
Impressed by Brighton, they deserved a win today, definitely will be keeping an eye on Trossard next week, and Maupay, apart from that moment of madness at the end, he looks a better prospect than I had thought.

where do you draw the line then?

1 min, 2 mins , 10 mins?

final whistle signals the game is over.

I get it, but you would have thought that they would need to confirm the review before the referee blows his whistle. Similar to how they couldn't go back and review it if the referee had accidentally allowed another play to start like a goal kick.

Fair point, probably a mistake by the ref or maybe it was one of those scenarios they didn't account for

I suppose if the ref plays on when the whistle should go because he's wanting on VAR it gives either team a chance to score again and Could cause more issues

Perhaps there was a slight delay in the announcement of the penalty to the ref and his blowing for full-time.

you don't think the game is over when the fulltime whistle blows?

wow

siblers · 26-09-2020 2:45pm

Whether right or wrong, it's 8 points more for Bruno!

Defo sounds like there was, but I'm surprised to see that they're allowed do that. Full time whistle should really mean game is over.

Tbh, I'm probably guilty of opening a wormhole here, because its not really FPL related. Apologies.

Nah I think it's fine to discuss a major talking point in a match especially a very controversial one such as this.
