Pep Guardiola was not happy at full-time, taking issue with Dean Henderson it seems... Henderson was not punished after he appeared to handle the ball outside his area in the first half, with the goalkeeper saving Omar Marmoush's penalty just over 10 minutes later. #FACupFinal

The penalty decision should have been overturned, clear touch of the ball by the defender before contact with the attacker. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but makes it even in reffing mistakes.

Not really, because the hand ball came before the penalty. It would have been a long time to play with 10 men.

They reviewed it as a red card offence and decided that Henderson did NOT deny an obvious goal scoring chance. They cannot instruct the referee to, retrospectively, issue a yellow card so the handball went unpunished. The only argument is whether it Was an obvious goal scoring opportunity

Why did the goalkeeper deliberately, cynically commit handball, if he didn't think it was goalscoring opportunity? There was no other reason for him to do it. VAR bottled it because it was a cup final. At the very least, VAR should have sent the referee to the monitor to review it himself.

It can be a goal scoring chance without it being a clear goal scoring opportunity. If even one of the requirements for DOGSO is missing then you don't have it.

It was a very clear goalscoring opportunity, which is why the goalkeeper deliberately handled it. It was the most obvious red card offence,

You don't have direction towards goal for the red card.

VAR said no. If he wants that overturning then Palace should have their second goal given back to them.

Stop saying "appeared to". He did handle it and you're not going to get sued for saying something that is objectively true.

Viscount Pontypandy @viscountpontypandy.bsky.social

Henderson handled the ball outside the box & should have been sent off. That he wasn’t is down to the MATCH OFFICIALS. What did Guardiola expect Henderson to do, tell the referee to send him off? What would he expect Ortega to do in the same situation? Guardiola really is an embarrassment at times!
