IT is a shocker that could cost Newcastle a place in the Champions League last 16.<\/p>\n
And it is so bad that Uefa\u2019s refereeing chief Roberto Rosetti should come out and provide answers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Newcastle looked set for a famous win at the Parc des Princes until the penalty to Paris Saint-Germain was awarded in the 97th minute for a handball against Tino Livramento.<\/p>\n
Szymon Marciniak has taken charge of World Cup and Champions League finals and an official of that calibre has to have the confidence to stick with his original decision.<\/p>\n
Uefa\u2019s own guidelines state \u201cno handball offence should be called on a player if the ball has previously deflected from his own body and, in particular, when the ball does not go towards goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Did both the VAR and Marciniak, who checked his decision on a pitchside monitor, miss the deflection off Tino Livramento\u2019s chest?<\/p>\n
It was similar to an earlier incident where the ball glanced off Lewis Miley\u2019s leg onto his arm when no penalty was awarded.<\/p>\n Also Livramento was in close proximity to Ousmane Dembele for the PSG forward\u2019s original cross which came at pace, his arm was in a natural position and it was not a deliberate act.<\/p>\n It is just a really poor intervention from VAR and a shocking decision from an elite referee.\u00a0<\/p>\n Until that point, the Polish official was having a good game.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Newcastle had taken the lead in the first half after Alexander Isak poked home a spilt Miguel Almiron shot by Gianluigi Donnarumma.<\/p>\n However, with the late equaliser, the Magpies now sit fourth in Group F, two points behind PSG.<\/p>\n Manager Eddie Howe has since slammed the decision as "not right".<\/p>\n In his post-match press conference, he said: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t the right decision in my opinion.<\/p>\n "There are so many things to take into account at that moment, the speed first.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a ricochet that when it is slowed down looks completely different to the live event.<\/p>\n "The ball hits his chest first, comes up and hits his hand.<\/p>\n "But his hand is not in an unnatural position, it is down by his side but he is in a running motion.<\/p>\n "I feel it is a poor decision and it\u2019s hugely frustrating for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>LAUR BLIMEY <\/span><\/p>\n
