    Watched the replay now. Two points: 1) Robbem would have COMFORTABLY got to the ball for a simple

    tap in.

    2) Robben could COMFORTABLY have stayed on his feet.

    But you do agree that there was contact? If so, a red and a penalty was the correct decision.

    I have no complaints at all.

    But he couldn't have done both imo, if he had stayed on his feet

    he would never have got to the ball in time

    I don't believe there is any mention of 'contact' in the laws of the game.

    It IS a physical contact sport, after all.

    Nod Robben goes into Chesney as much as Chesney into Robben

    and he doesn't have control of the ball

    He has more control over it than Chesney though. That's crucial.

    I don't think you've much time left to change the ref's mind here,p

    Bayern will be taking the penalty any minute now

    Yes, Schezezney was just a bystander. It was a penalty, it was a red card. I'm not really sure why

    anyone is arguing otherwise, tbh.
