Number of defenders was always a criteria for DOGSO. Where are the new laws/guidelines on DOGSO.

That still doesn’t show the direction the ball is travelling and having a person to pass to isn’t a criteria for DOGSO. Direction of travel was taking him wider.

Honestly, different challenges, but I do find the woman’s pathway less confrontational.

Sorry, but it either is DOGSO or isn’t DOGSO. If one of the criteria isn’t met then it isn’t DOGSO.

Really? Direction of play met? No cover? Can’t see it as SFP either, but that’s not what was given anyway.

Seriously…..how can they justify DOGSO on that last red cards Does anyone think it was a red card offence? Surely it’s an error and VAR should overturn it?

I diverted to my general view of VAR. ;)

I don’t disagree. Is that a benefit or a hindrance of VAR? I feel referees at that level don’t make the big calls anymore and rely on VAR to make the call. The result is only clear cut decisions being made. That maybe a good thing or it maybe a bad thing. Who knows? ;)

Had the ref called a penalty it wouldn’t have been overturned. Thats my opinion of it.

both penalty calls correct although had he given second one, I don’t feel var would have reversed it as an obvious error. However, my main question is who blows for half time before the corner is taken? If you give the corner, you let it play, otherwise blow before people setup for the corner.

So even though I’m desperate for city to drop points, as a referee, I was so pleased to see the Bournemouth player booked for sarcastically applauding the referee. Booked for dissent. Premier league players get away with far too much with “language” to referee.

Looked red to me. Even though it wasn’t with a lot of force.

I saw this video and I wonder if it’s correct in law. Ref calls a penalty, then speaks to his AR and they change the decision. Is this correct in law? Looking at video it’s difficult to tell, but I suspect the correct decision was made in not awarding the penalty...

Had a feisty match today. First goal the home coach storms onto the pitch to confront me about not calling a foul. He was shouting at me. I sent off the coach there and then. I believe I’m correct in law although he believes it’s only a yellow. I’m obviously filing the red card, but should...

Forgot to add clip.
