There is potentially a disciplinary issue too here both for the individual and the club.

It's worse than we thought, Donohue and Antrobus completely forgot to check whether Fernandez had committed an offside offence. They only checked for a touch by him in case it made Haaland offside. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cv4g5rp56p55o There is also discussion of the...

The behaviour described is not acceptable, especially towards a U18. I would suggest submitting an extraordinary misconduct report on the Referee Portal, and copy it into an email to your County FA's RDO and Safeguarding Officer. Also the league should have a safeguarding officer. In your...

Because they awarded the later (wrong) offside offence, Haaland's, they have implicitly made a no offside decision against Fernandez. This is part of the APP so automatically reviewable once it has been determined that Haaland was factually not offside. The VAR and ref should communicate about...

On the face of it Jones is caught out in a bad position but we don't have the context for that from the clip. I agree it is close proximity but don't think the arm position so high is justifiable and looks deliberate!

Am I right in thinking we have no indication yet as to whether the on-field officials gave an explanation regarding Fernandez's interference, either on their own initiative or being asked by the VAR? If they did then this feels like a subjective situation, that Webb very recently said should be...

Well that was quicker than I expected for the 'minimal VAR intervention' line to get torn up.

The on field team should have explained why they didn't penalise Enzo. I am guessing they didn't think he did enough to impact the opponents, and VAR though it wasn't clear cut enough to recommend an on field review.

Interesting, a rare case of clubs wanting harsher punishments than refs.

Two VAR interventions in this match. Referee Chris Graham, AR1 Chris Rae, AR2 Colin Drummond, 4th Josh Hay, VAR Andrew Dallas, AVAR Calum Scott. 2:24 - handball penalty incident, neither Graham or Drummond have a good angle for it. 3:36 - Serious Foul Play lunge, wonder why Graham and Hay...

At 2:40 - missed second caution, which both managers agreed should have been sanctioned. Olivia Nicolson goes straight to her pocket and then seems to change her mind after realising the offender has already been cautioned.

The WSL is investigating a breach of competition rules after Crystal Palace were allowed a fourth substitution opportunity in their 1-0 win against Everton yesterday. The match officials involved will reportedly not be appointed in the next round of fixtures...

@RefereeFM have you explained you are an RA member just at a different local RA?

It definitely should have been awarded on-field, and was a clear and obvious error not to.

Why is VAR not interested? Don't see any foul in there and Vincic blew after the ball went in the goal.
