00:00 Yeah, I don't know how clear my explanation is going to be, but look, I've now had a chance to look at it.
00:06 I think it's a penalty kick, and I'll give you my reasons for it, because I don't want you to think that it's in any way me just having a biased thought.
00:14 I think nowadays, if you had two hands above your head now, I think they would be in an unnatural position.
00:20 And if you think the reason for his hands being there was because it was a free kick, well if it was a free kick, the referee never restarted the game with a free kick.
00:28 If it was because the player kicked it onto his own arms, then technically he made a really poor clearance then which kicked it onto his arm.
00:36 So for all those three points, I can't see why the referee didn't choose to give a penalty kick.
00:41 On the other side of that, I would say if it was given against me, I would think it was very harsh.
