    It definitely does not qualify as clear and obvious. And I think the ref doesn't give it because it just looks weird. It doesn't look like a normal penalty incident.

    Ref might also have been swayed by the fact that Salah had flung himself to the ground 30 seconds earlier. Haven't seen many calls for a yellow card

    If you are going to give the penalty I think you have to give the lad another go and let him kick him far harder than that

    another part of law 12 that the referees never seem to enforce.

    prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands

    They did eventually get a booking for it.

    I've seen Raya run past four opponents and sling the ball into a two against two. You just cannot allow that to happen. All you have to do is get in the way, arms outstretched in the 'it weren't me, ref' pose. Worth the booking

    which you could only do once per match...

    You'd get away with at least one. Then when you get booked, someone else takes over.

    Just watched it again. Absolutely not a penalty, for me. Watch the angle of Doku's body on contact. He is turning away, withdrawing the foot. Minimal contact, and he is entitled to play the ball.

    Excellent refereeing

    wasn't forceful, but still reckless imo.

    you cannot make a challenge with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent. Even if the Bindipping **** did make a meal of it.

    I'm happy that it wasn't given, btw.
