nope lol

The positive is, that you are reflecting and can see that there were errors in your performance. I would be more worried if you came on here thinking you had a really good game, but couldn't understand where you went wrong. Try not to beat yourself up to much about it. As said already, we've ALL...

So annoying that The Premier League seem to be doing exactly what they want, instead of adhering to IFAB

There were a couple of other defenders that raised their arms to say it was a push. That's what I dislike about VAR, though. I miss the days when you can celebrate your team scoring without any fear of it being overturned

My initial thought was that it was a foul (barge). Surely Craig Pawson must have seen it (as it's where the ball is being played) so he must have thought it was ok at the time. Was it a "Clear and Obvious" error ? who knows (that's sooo subjective). But I suppose sending him to the screen to...

One of the journalists said today that the refs have to state which club they support at the outset, then PGMOL select geographically. ie if he supported Birmingham, he wouldn't be able to ref Villa...however, he could ref West Brom as that's not their nearest rivals.

Clattenburgs appointment leaves a really bad taste in the mouth. From the minute he took the job, they were always going to use him to undermine referee decisions. It stinks.

So, in a nutshell. Managers are blaming referees for getting decisions wrong, when in fact, they don't even know the LOTG ! The pundits should be backing PGMOL in these matters, not adding fuel to the fire.

It there is a playground or youth games within earshot I tend to ask them before the match to keep the bad language down, and i've always had a positive response from the players (tbh it could be their kids playing over there)

Re Harry Kane alleged elbow, Hackett also said Kane swung his arm. He didn't. He seemed to position it to protect himself. There was no swing as such. He also said Kane was looking for Gabiel. Not necessarily. Top level players also have a glance over their shoulder to see where their team mates...

I bet, next time Gabriel isn't sure he kicks it back ! ;)

The biggest problem with all this, goes back to the players playacting again. Was he looking to stop them game because it was a head injury, but then realised the defender was just acting ? (BTW playacting for head injuries seems to becoming quite common...and it's a really distasteful thing to do)

Exactly. Society has brought a lot of them up to be horrible and disrespectful. Added to that, the professional game openly encourages backchat, verbal abuse of refs, cheating etc. The FA keep doing the surveys, but they know what the issues are and are too spineless to do anything about it.

Why don't the winning team just play with less players (much more sporting) ?

I don't see what's unsporting about it ! They're playing within the law. The defenders needed to react and block the shot
