Hadn’t seen this so was so confused when I opened RefChat and saw a thread for this match. Assumed we were just pre empting some poor VAR calls tonight 😂 On an actual note, Gillett is quite interesting to give it to, only because I swear he was the guy mic’d up in the A League that time

I’m not sure he missed it, but I’ll sympathise with my fellow official and hope he did. Of course, there is also the possibility I misheard 😂 For those of you into gossip, the player in question is actually the son of a famous celebrity chef. Not naming names, don’t want The Sun to get hold of...

Entirely off topic and I apologise to OP but I’ve been on this forum since 2020, seen you plenty of times, and I’ve only just clicked that socal means Southern California

I was playing in a uni game yesterday, when we won a corner, but the ref awarded it as a goal kick to the opposite. I couldn’t tell, I thought it was our ball but I was much further away than the ref, and we’d had a lot of 50-50 stuff go against us. However, it doesn’t excuse what our striker...

I actually think it is after seeing replay from different angle. Not sure if it’s C and O tho, but poor from Oliver to give goal kick. Caicedo could have had a second yellow there for me

Handball shout for Chelsea, not for me, but more surprising how Oliver gave a dead ball, clearly a corner. Just got back in from Huddersfield basically being relegated, no idea if anything else has happened in this match so far

Martinez booked during penalty shootout after being booked in normal time. Cue the pandemonium when he isn’t sent off

Are you a Bristol fan? Only asking cos you're from Bristol and despite saying its not a pen your last 2 posts seem to be suggesting it could be

100th minute (not personally sure why so much injury time was played) and then this decision occurs. Pen or not for you guys?

Supporting LGBT is in no way political. Basic human rights like that aren’t political. You can get into more specific aspects (I won’t argue those with you, mainly because I’m a member of the LGBT community and I don’t think the discussion is needed on this forum) but that’s unrelated to Rainbow...

Yeh you’re not wrong, but as someone who is normally a stickler for the laws I’m ashamed to say I think I think in this exact situation I could be a hypocrite. Age group, end of game, and the score, would probably depend on the situation I think. It sounds like the player is hacked down in...

As soon as I saw the headline, expected it to be Oliver that was the ref. Was gobsmacked that not only was he not the ref, he was the VAR that got overruled!

Another Huddersfield thread on here, we’ve become popular all of a sudden!

Exactly my thoughts on the decision. First goal is completely fine. The pen is in my opinion a pen, but certainly not a clear and obvious one, not enough force. Also a foul from Liverpool on Haaland in the build up to the corner the potential pen came from that wasn’t given, so it’s swings...

This post and the comments cause me genuine pain
