This will make a big difference, Arsenal along with many clubs run the clock down at the end of the match. 45 seconds for throw ins and goal kicks. Simon Hooper should be cautioning for delaying the restart, albeit he added 7 mins plus an extra 2.5 mins, but the fans want to get home 🙈 Law 15...

You do have two players fouling him, shirt pull and arm across the neck which wasn’t a football action but deliberately impeding (self declaration ex GK!) Also Declan Rice was lucky, why was he defending like that, asking for trouble.

This is on the referee’s deciding to interpret something that is simply not there. HW needs to revisit his referee’s interpretation of contact with the hair.

These UEFA penalties though change games & determine who wins which is wrong if a ball is blasted at you, historic hand ball law was a hand ball had to be deliberate, why move the dial so much?

First penalty - clear 100%, foolish challenge Second penalty - because it comes off his knee, I would like this not to be given as a UEFA or Scottish penalty. Third penalty - Soft erring on not a penalty, but VAR should not be getting involved.. What handball interpretation are we expecting in...

Not clear, but close to being behind the ball, so an interesting extra consideration!

In the same vein, my game player called opponent ginger c—-. I went yellow, thoughts?

Barca believe it should be a penalty & also a second YC. Is it a YC in law?

Referee Michael Oliver, VAR Jarred Gillett. MO cutting the grass to be very decisive, ‘not a penalty’, gave JG an issue in recommending a review. Would agree penalty kick should have been awarded.

Probably not a surprise, the Spanish Referees Technical Committee conclude VAR was wrong to intervene on the Red card. https://www.goal.com/en/news/atletico-madrid-responds-to-the-technical-committee-s-admission-of-the-referee-s-error-in-the-barcelona-match/bltcecacbb1f9c00ae0#

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvge47evx0no Once you look at the stoppages in the West Ham game, you can see the 11 minutes was justifiable. Three minutes for treatment to Adama Traore and Joe Rodon Two minutes while the physios came on for Pablo and Jaka Bijol Three minutes for...

A yellow card for me, looked like a scissor tackle from one angle but not from the other angle. Most referees would have evened up the teams with a second yellow card to Oxford’s Spencer in 2H SPA. Manager immediately subbed him. ;)

Busy VAR here, should he/she be leaving referee to do his job? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxeL11SVt23BxDtV3J1LCUzN-bkdS9KPxR?si=ZKJObCS5LDuX7ate https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxoYpXMzPXQHn8DAZ1Pvitt4dwkSkLA5wz?si=DEdfgMp4FUiIF2yC

Watch the real time replay & see the pace of the run, a still picture makes lining look so easy! It was a brilliant finish, and I think the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacking team.

Me thinks same as the micro shin pads, don’t going looking for issues, if jewellery is covered then that’s fine.
