Looked at the schedule...
Crystanbul is loading lads
Great draw from Chelsea against the last spot on the table which helps them advance to the 9th position.
I thought it was penalty as well. Can you share vid once available showing otherwise?
Damn…cant even see the contact
Look, it's very simple, and I think you (a sane person) would get why:
The replay includes two parts: 1) AWB's action, 2) what happens after it
1) AWB's action comprises only the sliding of the leg, which takes x number of seconds.
If during that sliding from t=0 to t=x, his sliding leg touches any part of Elliot's body W/O making contact with the ball, then it's a pen
2) If, after the sliding is completed (t=x+ some milliseconds), Elliot continues his run ON any part of AWB's body, that is not an action initiated by AWB
This is exactly what happens in our case, as the vid above shows: after AWB's action ends (leg reaches its end point and lands on the ground) Elliot continues his run, and steps on the body of AWB lying on the ground
Personally I could not care less that people like Serghei don't understand the logic
but the fact that some refs these days (thankfully not all) have come to believe that 2) is something of which the onus is on the defender who completed his action, and not on the attacker who simply bumps into the defender is beyond me
They should correct it ASAP with new directives
No, it's not.
You have made this point again in other cases.
You distort the essence of the violation in any foul, which lies on who initiates the contact.
Every other player on the pitch is potentially an obstacle. What you write makes 0 sense
And if there are refs that interpret it this way (which some do), new directives should be given ASAP
2) If, after the sliding is completed (t=x+ some milliseconds), Elliot continues his run ON any part of AWB's body, that is not an action initiated by AWB
This is exactly what happens in our case, as the vid above shows: after AWB's action ends (leg reaches its end point and lands on the ground) Elliot continues his run, and steps on the body of AWB lying on the ground
This part is where you get it wrong. Let's say you are a defender, you make a tackle, don't get the ball, but initially don't get contact with the player either.
But then the attacker trips over your feet that are in his way, and your tackle impedes his ability to follow the ball. According to the rules this is also a penalty for tripping.
This is actually funny but works for almost every manager.
Is this the worst piece of commentary ever? Stop reading them stats and focus on this brilliant dribble you mug!

Works for ETH and Xavi too for instance.
