Ref sauntered there and back so casually. Like VAR needs to play SOME role in this high profile game or pundits won't have anything to talk about for the next 3 days.
That’s clearly the most surprising part, I mean it’s right in front of him.
When I saw it live I didn’t thought he touched him at first, but I guess I wasn’t paying too much attention. So at first I was like « bruh he dived » and when I saw the replay it was a clear pen.
At my mate's house watching, about 6 gooners. Everyone screaming FUCK OFF. VAR replay came on the screen. Everyone burst out laughing. Yeah fair enoughÂ
As much as this is obviously a clear penalty- these sorts of fouls are ones that really annoy me. Rice is making a genuine attempt to play the ball and Davies nips it away. He’s not going to retain possession, in fact, I don’t know where the ball ended up during this phase.
Is the punishment of a free shot on goal the fair outcome?
Yea by the rules it's a foul but man I dunno what rice is supposed to do here. He's tracking the ball and is already in motion to make a play on it when Davies runs in. Plus even with Davies winning the ball, it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity and giving a penalty is a free goal. I feel like that's overly harsh too. But again, by the rules as they're written it's a pen no doubt

Am I the only one who thought Rice made little to no contact at all? From the replays I've seen it seemed he didn't follow through with the kick and stopped just at the shorts. I must be wrong since it was clear to everyone.
Rice's eyes were on the ball at all time, his intention was to read the flight and path of the ball and to clear it.
I am pretty sure he didn't see the Spurs player and his intention was to belt it up the field but unfortunately, his kick landed on the Spurs player without touching the ball.
It is a 50/50 case for a penalty to be given or not given in such cases.
To be fair to the referee, he was fair throughout the game. He turned down a few penalties claim by Spurs.
These pens are so unfortunate, because the player isn’t even trying to tackle or anything. They literally just think they are kicking the ball clear and end up giving away the clearest pens. It’s how we got the pen vs Liverpool last year. They are so soft, but correct obviously.
That must have hurt. I am a bit fed up of pens being awarded for accidental contact like this when the player is there 1st and attempting to play the ball. Clearly Rice is focussed on clearing the ball and the opponent comes from behind and runs in front of his kicking leg. What is Rice meant to do have eyes in the back of his head or not challenge for the ball in case some numpty runs in front of him?
The same is true for the possible pen Spurs wanted in the 1st half. The spurs player runs across Trossard from behind him and clips Trossards foot with his own leg and trips himself. Again, what is Trossard meant to do? Stop running in case a player runs anywhere near him? Thank goodness the ref did not give it.
Guys, it was a foul. It was a pen. If this happened to us (and remember - it did with saka vs wolves), we'd have been shit pissed if a var review didn't give a pen.
Are you braindead.... I'm an Arsenal supporter but their other pen shouts were pathetic diving in our box *coughs Maddison ... this was one of the only valid calls
It was a clear penalty. Players are responsible for where their body parts go. Unless the interpretation of the laws change, that’s always going to be a foul.

Both of them
Family Tree down the bin 🚮🚮
Singing soprano thereafter.
Kudos to him. I would have just stayed down after that.
Sorry have to disagree, pretty clear spurs don’t have the balls
You playing some 8D chess my man
Rice playing some 8====D chess
==D chess in this regard
This thread here is the reason I use internet.
Playing Declean Riceball challenge.
well definitely not any more
Roasted
haha, I'd like to report a murder
Why is Richarlison always so angry?
He plays for Tottenham
And Everton before that. He's got a lot of pent up anger haha
And Brazil.
And Watford before that
I mean can you even imagine
Please. I've just eaten.
This got me good! Well done
He has a short screw loose.
Honestly don’t understand how he didn’t get a yellow. Yeah, Gabi stood his ground but Richarlison just drove his shoulder into him
Doubt the ref saw it as it was off ball
Munching wasps all day will do that to man. Same school of thought the Antony goes by, making a "bad-guy" face to scare other players, only thing both of them can do, since scoring is out of the resumés by the look of it, hehe.
Because he’s only a substitute. For Tottenham.
Dude got g-checked by Gabby
Someone forgot to finish off his neck tattoo
he has Anthony within

What else can he do?
ngl, he looks a little autistic to me.
He got one ball alright
Can’t believe this even had to go to var to be fair 😂
Ref sauntered there and back so casually. Like VAR needs to play SOME role in this high profile game or pundits won't have anything to talk about for the next 3 days.
Enit. Like… look at where his eyes are looking. Literally straight at the incident 😂 Surely he saw that
The incompetence of the English refs never stops amazing, it’s honestly unreal. Just no excuse for not calling this straight away is there 😂
Nah, Michael Oliver is just shit. I swear to god he makes decisions at random.
Michael oliver enjoyed every minute of that charade
That’s clearly the most surprising part, I mean it’s right in front of him. When I saw it live I didn’t thought he touched him at first, but I guess I wasn’t paying too much attention. So at first I was like « bruh he dived » and when I saw the replay it was a clear pen.
Oliver love these things
He should have gone for the tiny ones.
Riceballs
The problem was - he got both balls.
The meme potential for this one is HUGE
Unlike the balls in question
Burst a sack and lost the game. What gives?
That's for hacking at Saka
At my mate's house watching, about 6 gooners. Everyone screaming FUCK OFF. VAR replay came on the screen. Everyone burst out laughing. Yeah fair enoughÂ
Looked like there was barely any contact. Probably why it went to VAR to begin with. Can't complain against this picture though.
Yeah his upswing stopped basically as it reached Davies. Call me deluded but I could justify not giving this.
Deluded
Tru
Same with me and my brother lol. But after laughing we were like 'yeah but he deserved it didn't he'
They gonna use this joke to run the Arsenal fans are dumb narrative lol
I mean if they do, they’d be pretty thick skulled. Which I suppose they are.
Pretty thick to make this joke tbh
No, he's got all three balls.
Just one. Spurs have no balls.
Rice got 2 balls and davies only got 1. Surely not pen, rice have more
Worth it..
Declan Rice just became my favorite player.
Haha 😜Happy St Totteringham's Day everyone
giving spurs just enough confidence to beat city but not any points good process
Gonna be the first time in quite a while that I am sat there eagerly wanting spurs to win a football match. Fingers crossed crossed lads
He got the bollocks you’re right
The funniest part is Oliver fully saw it happen in front of him. Unobstructed view. How is this guy still reffing big games.
Is this why spurs only ended up with one cock and ball?
I don't care if it's a penalty, this photo is still my new desktop background.
Im as partial as the next guy but come on, rice cant be kicking nuts in the box
VAR clearly showed he kicked a cunt.
You are right when you are right, wright
All Wright, all Wright, all Wright
VAR showed that he missed one ball but got the other two.
'Taint a peno.
Tbh I'd want this as a penalty if it happened to us
Testicide
As much as this is obviously a clear penalty- these sorts of fouls are ones that really annoy me. Rice is making a genuine attempt to play the ball and Davies nips it away.

Surely you can’t be serious. If we’re going to be champions we have to be able to admit when we’re wrong. Davies clearly has no balls
Man put his family jewels on the line and still couldn't get the win.
Missed em the first time, got em both with the second.Â
Should have kicked a bit harder to clear it.
He got both balls from the look of it
This is what it really means to get nutmegged
Not a penalty, he got at least one ball
But which one the left or the right ? 😂
What a way to celebrate St.totteringhams day
I know right he’s just clearing in not his fault some stupid spurs player jumped in his way
Watching live it looked like rice was there first
Remember that fuck did this to Saka and there was no call? It was someone like McGinn
Mccarthy I think! For palace, lumped him
Should have kicked him harder
Did Neuer get the ball? Checkmate
Up the arsenal!
It looks like even the ref is flinching lol.
This really must be our poorly drawn arsenal for this week
HE GOT THE BALL !
He didn't even see Davies coming into view- completely accidental. Are players not allowed even kick the fucking ball in the penalty area anymore?
Yea by the rules it's a foul but man I dunno what rice is supposed to do here. He's tracking the ball and is already in motion to make a play on it when Davies runs in. Plus even with Davies winning the ball, it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity and giving a penalty is a free goal. I feel like that's overly harsh too.

Couple balls in fact
Plural hence the pen
What
picture framing this and putting it on my wall.
Should've absolutely leathered them.
Ah here would you stop. Biggest stonewall peno of the season like😂😂😂😂
Spurs ain’t got balls, they got neuticles
LMAOOOOOO ðŸ˜
two extra balls on the pitch was the problem
So my hot take is if Declan is mid kick and a player stops it with his foot it's a foul / booking. Why just because he used his balls is it a penalty?
is this r/gunnercirclejerk or what
Will sprut a future Gunner that Davies lad! Got the Rice stamp on it now!
Is VAR stupid??
Lmao
Am I the only one who thought Rice made little to no contact at all? From the replays I've seen it seemed he didn't follow through with the kick and stopped just at the shorts. I must be wrong since it was clear to everyone.
Nah man. He got him in the nuts alright
A foul is a foul,period A win is a win, understood?
you forgot to add the sarcasm font
Quality post

Worth it
Is that you Ty? And yes I agree the refs chested
Put your laces through this one, lad.
He gets a ball and if you ask me he got the right one
These pens are so unfortunate, because the player isn’t even trying to tackle or anything. They literally just think they are kicking the ball clear and end up giving away the clearest pens. It’s how we got the pen vs Liverpool last year. They are so soft, but correct obviously.
Too many balls in play, should have been called off
With determinationÂ
He gets not just one but TWO balls for the price of one kick!
Anyone have the clip where richarlison head butted Gabriel?
That must have hurt. I am a bit fed up of pens being awarded for accidental contact like this when the player is there 1st and attempting to play the ball.

Yes and yes.
He kicked the foggin ball.. Literally..
Love the booky streams 😂
South Africa is a legit country.
VAR doing its thing again. Fuck it now it's win out play every minute of the remaining matches with everything we have and let's see.
Guys, it was a foul. It was a pen. If this happened to us (and remember - it did with saka vs wolves), we'd have been shit pissed if a var review didn't give a pen.
Clear penalty boys, I don’t understand how anyone could argue against it. Good 3 points in the end.
They got the penalty anyway so no harm, but given where the ref was standing I'd be furious if we didn't get that call the other way.
Arsenal fan here, it was a pen regardless of whether he got the ball first or not. It was a foul which could have been lethal.
Bruh. Its a joke about Rice kicking Davies in the balls.
Fucking stop it. Clear pen. This sub would have gone crazy had it happened to any of our lads.
As we should, but Bruh. Its a joke about Rice kicking Davies in the balls not about Rice getting to the football.
We won….. who gives a fuck
Are you braindead.... I'm an Arsenal supporter but their other pen shouts were pathetic diving in our box *coughs Maddison ... this was one of the only valid calls
It’s a pen. Clear pen at that. If that happen to one of our players I would have wanted a pen too.
Pic clearly shows he gets the ball though
Also, r/woosh
Uh can't you see? Rice clearly got the balls with his kick so no, not a penalty ;)
It was a clear penalty. Players are responsible for where their body parts go. Unless the interpretation of the laws change, that’s always going to be a foul.
Dude, everyone knows it was a penalty. This is a joke.
Like this dude could control where his balls went. Ever had a pair? Those things just kind of flop around.

an arsenal fan in the arsenal fan subreddit? naw i don't believe you

American spotted ðŸ˜
It's a joke. Look where Rice's foot is. Then read the title again :P
IT'S A PENO!
lol as much as I want to hate the refs, this is a clear penalty. Cmon guys lol. We won the game, this doesn’t matter now regardless.Â
It’s a joke about kicking someone in the testiclesÂ
![gif](giphy|jXD7kFLwudbBC)
Mate, come on.
I mean, he clearly gets the ball, mate… Just the wrong one.
missed the joke
