For what it’s worth, I disagree with him about our penalty, he admits the player catches Jesus and didn’t get the ball so I’m not sure what his argument is

I think the Gabriel incident was a penalty, arms were in an unnatural position.
They were both incidents which could have gone the other way. I must admit when I saw the penalty incident the first time I wasn't sure why it was given, but from the right angle it's pretty clearly a foul. So while I wouldn't have been surprised had it not given, I think it was the right decision. I kinda feel the same about the one which wasn't given. I hate all this shit about the ball just hitting people's hands or arms and a penalty being given. People use their arms to balance, defenders shouldn't have to have their arms behind their back for fear of conceding penalties. So while you definitely see ones like that given, I don't think they should be. It seemed pretty clear ball to hand and while those are increasingly given I really don't think they should be.
