What's really worrisome is how many people believe ref's mistakes are not worth discussing because PSG played abysmally.

The funny thing: all these people cry slaughter if a ref shits on their team and affects a match' outcome.

Not really what I am saying.

Ref made a mistake. It's bad that refs make mistakes. Video refereeing cannot come soon enough for me. But as long as referees make mistakes, it's part of the game. I get pissed off when my team gets shafted, and enjoy it when the fault is in favour of my team. What is being argued against is that (1) arbitration errors are "always" in favor of Barça (and thus Uefalona, corruption, blablabla), and (2) Barça somehow didn't deserve to win. The latter point is somewhat arbitrary, but in my mind, they put 6 fucking goals past PSG attempting to play Great Wall of China football. Regardless of whether Barça deserved to win, PSG deserves to lose for that horrendous showing.

Just out of curiosity, what would you have said if a video assistant had judged it to be enough contact and upheld the penalty? Still shitty ref bias our outright conspiracy at that point.

PSG also won the first game 4-0. It's not like that game suddenly didn't happen, and 0-4 and 1-6 are hardly that different scorelines. Saying that PSG deserves to lose because they lost 1-6 and they'd still deserve to lose if they only lost 1-5, that doesn't really make sense to me - 1-5 would've been a good enough result for them to advance. And without Suarez diving, they'd only lose 1-5. Doesn't really matter that it was only one of 6 goals when that one goal still ended up being crucial - if this was the arsenal match and the difference was between 2-9 and 2-10, obviously nobody would care about the referee getting it wrong. I guess Suarez diving would be even more indefensible in a way though - at least now I can understand it. ;p

Well like i said, all headlines don't lead with "PSG lost a 4-0 lead to a dodgy 5th goal penalty" xD
Anyway

Is the replay again of penalty 2, which is the only one worth discussing as first one is just nailed on im sure everyone agrees. This one you can argue Suarez probably aint getting the ball if he stays on his feet anyway, there is double contact with his legs and an arm across his body. However i can see the point that all this contact is extremely light and with Suarez not getting the ball (probably) then i can't see that being a good call for a penalty. Can you argue it by the letter of the law is not a penalty? No, you can't do that either. As a footballing opinion on the game played in what it was you can argue it was very very harsh and not worthy to be given.

TL;DR
By letter of law its a pen
100% is double contact, leg clipped and arm across his body
Experienced ref / ex player would cite not enough contact nor is Suarez getting the ball for it to be deemed a penalty

Is my conclusion

it's not worth discussing. It's a clear, blatant as fuck dive. Why on earth is he touching his throat and top of his head during that, pretending that he was punched or grabbed or whatever? There's barely contact. And I am actually normally quite supportive of attacking players falling when there's contact even if they are able to stand, because referees almost never call penalty unless the striker falls. But this is a pure dive, made obvious by his pretending-to-be-hurt-in-places-where-he-wasn't-touched-act. Also made even more obvious by his reputation. Some players are cheaters, Suarez is one of them. And it's sad, because if he wasn't, he'd be just about my favorite player to watch, because he's so amazingly skillful, but now I'm leaning more towards hoping that no team he plays for ever wins anything ever again. (Sadly, I think most top teams have equally unethical players, so I dunno who I can really cheer for that has even the remotest chance of winning. ) I can understand a singular, momentary slip-up, but Suarez is such a consistent cheater that I don't see much difference between him and say, a cyclist caught using EPO.

Hes touching his throat because that is where he was hit by the arm, no idea why he goes for the head. And you said it yourself there is minimal contact, how can this be a bad call, let alone a dive, if there is clear contact. Especially from live play without replays for the referee

edit: just looked at the 2nd/goalline angle again. Look at Suarez right leg, how can you consider that a dive?

Yeah it's only a dive if there is no contact, there is contact period. By letter of law it can be called a penalty, whether you think it shouldn't or not. I think it should probably not have been called as well but it did and there is only really "minimal" contact as excuse or he isn't getting the ball for me.

its a dive because it was soft as fuck. grown ass man dropping like he was shot from that kind of "tackle"? guy would probably fly away during medium strength wind

football is a contact sport. contact does not automatically institute a penalty. the player actually has to be fouled and there was no way suarez was legitimately fouled

Exaggerated the contact for sure no question. I would wish we had a Howard Webb to post his view and if he would have called it, or Collina etc but im sure that all referee's would side with the decision at hand here.

Are you serious.. I understand that fast paced contact is different from slow paced contact, but I've watched this replay literally 20 times now. Like, ok, this might not be up there with there with the Rivaldo's or the Busquets or the Inzaghi's in 'most atrocious dives ever' but it's still absolutely blatant..

By letter of law, mascherano hand is a penalty too and he admits fouling Di Maria at the 86th minutes. And I disagree a small contact shouyld lead to a penalty, it's not basketball.

@Liquid Drone, yeah I wish they would start to punish unsportsmanlike conducts after the game based on video evidence. This shit is spreading on our amateur football fields too. I would also like more intransigence concerning the way players speak to the referee.

A lot of this stuff is easy to do and they somehow refuse to evolve and we know the top executives of the FIFA are all corrupted, it's hard to not think about conspiracy theories. I think it was just a poor performance from the referee but I can understand why so many people are actually believign conspiracy theories.

On the bright side, Silva avoided 7 1 PTSD.

I've watched it 20 times and I just can't see how you can ignore the two separate points of contact.
Of course he exaggerated it and it would have been perfectly okay not to call a penalty, but there is contact, it is not a blatant dive and it's not a horrible call especially without the aid of replay.

For what it's worth, I think it's a well executed dive and I'm not really faulting the referee. But no support towards Suarez.

I think conspiracy theory is pretty naive way to describe things. Nobody (as far as I can tell) is claiming there's some Shakespeare writing plotlines before the season or anything. Meanwhile there's all kinds of foul play happening even in children's tournaments and by any logic it gets potentially worse as more money and prestige gets involved.

It doesn't take some worldwide conspiracy to have harmful corruption that should be discussed and fought whenever possible or necessary. It's best for everyone that we can enjoy the game knowing that it's as clean and fair as humanly possible and appreciate the amazing storylines it produces.

Really bad referee. The second penalty wasn't... Good comeback, but this penalty ruined the joy of the win.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but as much as I loath Aytekin I didn't think he did a bad job yesterday... Up until the 89th minute he did a goob job, caught most fouls, even carded dives (something we barely see nowadays anymore), in a game that was really hard to referee. And yes the 2nd penalty was only in the strictest sense of the rules a penalty but it was honestly really hard to see for him. I actually think if yesterday would have happened with other referees we might have seen more penalties for Barca, no cards for diving and 2+ PSG players sent off.

Clear penalty imo. Hand to the face while running is enough to bring you down.
