Eze was standing by the side of the pitch, he knew he was coming off, the officials knew he was coming off, but due to the 4th having issues with the board because of a triple sub, why didn't Eze just go off? It's not a major thing, I know, but just irks me sometimes that he just stood there...

Just seen this... Yellow only?

Anyone else notice that Mikel Arteta literally stands and shouts next to opponents taking throws when around his technical area. Even tried to get in the way of one of them.

Don't get this... The subs knew who was coming off.... Why not just make it easier and go off. Wasting time is why. Just go off. Would do that if they were losing. Unless there is a rule I'm unaware of that you must wait until the board goes up/announcer announces it.

Not much difference between the one given yesterday and one not given in the Liverpool one just now, other than the palace player raised his arms across his body blocking a shot whilst the Bournemouth one caught him unaware with a huge deflection.

In this case, I wholeheartedly agree. I have to laugh, Jared Gillett, when officiating his last Aussie game, was mic'd up and released to the public and said on a decision if he should go and look at it to sell it more. Could have suggested it yesterday. On field has made a decision that is...

I hate that type of unsportsmanship

Great refereeing from the young Swedish ref. Right at the end, I actually think he got it right. Saka, for me, moved his leg in to the keeper to initiate contact from him as he is coming out. But I feel the keeper stops just in time and Saka had to improvise to get the penalty.

I know freeze frames don't do much, but is there any chance another angle was looked at for this (underlined) player playing the player blocking the keeper inside from the header?

I've always thought if you're bringing something back that happened earlier, the clock should be rolled back. You've potentially lost time playing on, and on, before stopping. However, in this situation, I do honestly believe he would have blown up within seconds anyway and only continued as VAR...

Ball was still in play for about 30 seconds. Think he actually delayed blowing for half time purely on the basis that MO was reviewing. Think he actually stopped play with the ball outside the area, with Brentford in possession. Think he restarted with a dropped ball to the keeper and then...

I will admit, I feared as he was called over that one would be given, especially with MO in VAR. it is extremely rare that VAR calls get overruled by on field pitch once called over, and even rarer that someone rules over MO.

Michael Oliver gets Madley to stop the game just seconds before half time to view the monitor for a potential penalty. Fantastic bit of refereeing there by Madley in not giving it in my opinion, not just because I'm a Bee, but in general. Can see why VAR have asked him to go over to look but...

Not really note any issues with the refereeing, and hopefully won't... My gripe in this match is the match summariser. Don't know her name, her experience etc, just a background thing at my counter at work. One thing I picked up on was a comment she made around the 25th minute mark or so...

I wonder, in the Burnley v Brentford game recently, whether Toney would have got a penalty for foul by keeper, if it was a foul that is, on review but didn't look because Ajer scored moments later. 1:40 onwards. Clip suggests two different phases, but the cut between the two is merely seconds...
