Well, he did cross himself three times, so I see what you mean.KWP really enjoyed his goal, he's definitely got that inner spirit to be successful, he just exudes it.

My main question is over the timing or importance. They've decided that the feint is more important than the encroachment, even though that was the first offence. If they stop the video before Son alters his run there are several players in the box. Should that equal a retake regardless? If they stop the video when he strikes the ball, after the feint, there are even more players in the box. So they ignore that completely, chalk off the goal and book the taker. It feels wrong to do that.
But it was the Ref who blew up in this instance - so his decision stands.
I think.
I'm so confused.

Illegal feinting trumps everything. It doesn't matter if the penalty was scored or missed or if there was encroachment by one or both teams. The outcome is the same. A caution to the kick taker and an indirect free kick to the other team.
Then you have Jenas and Chris Foy disagreeing after the game over what constitutes an illegal feint, one from a player's perspective and the other from a referee. Can of worms, this.
Can anyone explain bringing on dembele for 30 mins on a freezing cold night. Quite baffling for me. He’s clearly now a key player, he can’t need minutes. Along with Kane Eriksen he’s irreplaceable in the run in. Why on Earth with his injury record would you risk him. I think we were 4-1 up when he came on made absolutely no sense at all.
Exactly that’s the worry. Don’t trust Dier at CB and verts injuries makes me worriedToby’s injured.
I wish I could be of help on this. It's an extremely vaguely written area in the laws. I've heard from enough experienced referees that this is supposed to be judged as an illegal feint.
My comment was focusing on the restart though. Once the referee rules Son feinted illegally, the correct restart is an IDFK to Rochdale. It doesn't matter about the previous encroachment. So the referee corrected restarted the game, but we can argue about whether it was actually an illegal feint.
The law says the feint has to happen at the end of the run up for it to be illegal
I agree the first half was more pantomime than football. But the early goal helped and in the end the snow might have helped us? All in all not a fantastic performance. Rochdale could easily gone in at half time 2-1 up. I think the two early goals knocked the stuffing out of them in the second half and they pretty much gave up. I actually surprised we made any subs, and the one I thought we would make, getting Lamela off before a second yellow brought us down to 10 men never happened. Can’t wait to see player ratings! I would have to say VAR apart Rochdale matched this team of seasoned professionals rather well and should be proud of that.Var

The most entertaining and awful football match I have ever seen
I think the bottom line is we’ve all seen those stutter stop penalties before and had no problems so unless it came in this year I thought the trickery was legal. Dont Sanchez and auguro always do it?Yes, but Son stopped about one step away from the ball. This is arguably close enough to attempt to get the goalkeeper to begin his dive. That's why the referee ruled the way he did. IMO what Son did should be illegal and I think FIFA wants it to be illegal, but the laws of the game are not explicitly clear that what he did was illegal. It needs to be cleared up.
