Two decisions this game week where Keepers have been protected now…Leno and Onana.
The Spurs keeper too.

Which is why I wasn't surprised that this wasn't given. Usually isn't against goalkeepers. Dawson had already headed the ball so it didn't impact Wolves. We have definitely seen keepers straight up punch attackers and nothing given. Onana at least didn't do that but rather gave a forceful hug.That has only ever been given once is history and that was ederson against arsenal last season. Itl never be given again
Exactly that. A different player to who he clattered as well.The only thing playing in his favour is that the challenge happened after the Wolves player had already headed it.

It probably should though. I’d be wanting a penalty for it and I was surprised they didn’t give it.And a keeper clattering a player who isn't even involved with the ball never gets given.
This.Keepers clattering attackers after the ball has gone has been given as a penalty once (Nketiah vs City last year) and pretty much never otherwise.
It doesn't make any sense at all, but those are very rarely pens.
I didn't see him do any of those things. Thanks for explaining why it's not a penalty.Direct free kick
A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
- charges
- jumps at
- kicks or attempts to kick
- pushes
- strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)
- tackles or challenges
- trips or attempts to trip
Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off
A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences:
- a handball offence (except for the goalkeeper within their penalty area)
- holds an opponent
- impedes an opponent with contact
- bites or spits at someone on the team lists or a match official
- throws an object at the ball, opponent or match official, or makes contact with the ball with a held object
We didn't get a decision our way after the media's shitfit over Bruno/Rashford against City last season.
We won't get a decision all season now because of this.

He just jumps up to try to catch it, he's not jumping at or challenging anyone. Some guy just happened to get in the way, can't blame Onana for that...you should try and see it then. I am sure there are clips online already.
a whole week to rant now, before the inevitable soft decision against Tottenham on SundayWe didn't get a decision our way after the media's shitfit over Bruno/Rashford against City last season.

It's a wwe chop. it is a challenge that is both reckless and carelessHe just jumps up to try to catch it, he's not jumping at or challenging anyone. Some guy just happened to get in the way, can't blame Onana for that...
I thought ETH was suppose to be the solution . I am hoping it is just fatigue because we did play a lot in pre season....
Loads of time De Gea got flattened and we conceded as no foul would be given. Thankfully its the other way now.If any other player does what Onana did it'd be a pen no question and possibly a red card for violent conduct. Keepers are so protected its unreal.
It will be forgotten by Saturday. Should have been given but it saved my acca so it's fineYeah that's my worry. It'll be brought up all season now.

Okay good point. However, just translate the incident into what an outfielders job does involve. It'd be like a defender charging towards a contested loose ball, sliding in, not getting the ball and catching the man. That's a textbook foul and, depending on the aggression of the slide tackle, a yellow or red card.Well yeah, but an outfield players job doesn't involve using their hands to try and catch crosses and keep goals out.
Really? I thought the Wolves players were staying down injured constantly in the first half but there was only 2 mins added on. I was sure it'd be 8 or more.The new laws concerning time wasting and players staying down faking injuries…really worked well tonight.
Thought the games flowed a lot more and generally the players got back on their feet pretty quickly.
Also general respect towards the refs was good.
