RE: That was delicious
We had a penalty that I believe was rightly ruled out because there was very little contact. However, it is rather strange that it was ruled out because many other penalties are given for that same situation.
Do you really have to contradict yourself? Their is nothing like "a rightly ruled out penalty." Was there contact? No. Havertz should've been booked for diving!
Some would argue that he was the last line and should have been sent off.
Those 'some' clearly knows nothing about officiating rules then.
Celebrate your win, don't dabble wrongly into officiating decisions out of emotion.

All I'm saying is that how many others have you seen get booked in that same situation that Havertz was in? Shouldn't officiating be consistent?
Officiating will never be consistent because referees are human beings operating under different conditions. Immediately Havertz hit the deck I concluded it was a penalty. After further reviews, it was glaring no contact was made. What's the penalty for a player who went to ground in the box without contact? Yellow card for simulation.
I remember telling the guy sitting next to me that if Ashley Young was in that position, he will stretch out his leg to tangle with that of Bissaka. Truth is Havertz expected a tackle, and he hit the deck hoping the tackle will come. He should've been carded for simulation but the referee was still smarting from having to overturn his wrong decision that he forgot about the right process.
