    Match Official Mic'd up

    All well and good that maybe common sense comes into it but we all know common sense does not apply to the laws and the fact pointing may be a natural position as part of the game is no doubt not covered in the laws otherwise defenders can now justify there arms being away from their body just...

    Match Official Mic'd up

    Like I said, also the fact the referee has said there may of been some contact and the pictures back up that view means the referee probably did see it in some capacity. It's just not a howler though and as others have said, it could of gone either way. On a different note, the red card...

    Match Official Mic'd up

    Because Oliver says there might be some contact but not enough for a penalty. I would say this is probably more of a penalty than not but its not a clear and obvious error so no overturn.

    Match Official Mic'd up

    The issue here though Oliver describes what he saw and it sort of matches up with the pictures the VAR is seeing, Oliver acknowledges there may of been contact but not enough for a penalty. I think Webb sums it up perfectly, if the referee gave the pen on field, it would not be overturned. I...

    Sunny Singh Gill - Palace Vs Luton

    Only if you(not saying you personally but in general) have doubts about his integrity? I mean no doubt people will think that but most people won't surely.

    Freiburg v West Ham

    There was talk that the referee may of been indicating the West Ham player fouled the Freiburg defender which causes the arm to be in that position when the ball hits. I got to say I can't see a foul there personally. Dale Johnson says a defender kicking the ball onto his own outstretched arm...

    Roma v Brighton

    I can't wait until this comes to the PL and then the graphic shows someones ear is offside! There was one Serie A game this season who uses the SAOT and it showed a player stud/heel offside despite the striker having his back to goal, imagine if something like that happens in the prem, there...

    Roma v Brighton

    Cringing a bit at the post match discussion on Romas 3rd goal suggesting the VAR has drew the line wrong and the goal should of been disallowed. Steve Sidwell even saying we are hoping too see a red line as I'm assuming that would make the technology more believable and nothing to with it...

    Carabao Final - CHE V LIV

    Let's remember, in the first season of VAR when referees were not using monitors, you had people saying the referee was being undermined and that someone else was just making the key decisions for him. I'm comfortable with the referees going over to the screen, they do have the power to reject...

    Carabao Final - CHE V LIV

    I have to say, former referees really don't help themselves with their reputation for contradicting themselves. Mike Dean initially saying he thinks the goal will be rewarded but soon changed his mind when the referee was at the screen. I think the sarcastic tone Carragher spoke to him says it...

    VAR call to screen

    Oliver was sent to the screen last season for a pen he awarded to overturned but he rejected the review and most pundits I think backed him up on that. I don't believe referees are afraid of their senior counterparts but I think the issue at the weekend was Oliver had a clear view of the...

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    It's the theory we had since VAR has come in that some referees seemingly go for the safe yellow because it probably would be seen less of an embarrassing error than if they went red first then downgrade to a yellow(I don't think we have seen that happen once yet this season and it has not...

    Sheffield Utd Vs Brighton

    I always say the same opinion that SG1 referees weakness is identifying SFP on the field of play and VAR has exposed that but I will give Attwell the benefit of the doubt as I don't think he had the best view. I do hope though the yellow came out because of advise from one of his assistants and...

    BRE LIV

    Doesn't mean thats the right way to go about it though. Mind you whenever I see David Coote on VAR, going from his personality on the field, he really looks like a person that wouldn't have the nerve to say someone more senior than him he may of made a mistake. I thought it was a clear pen which...

    Manchester City v Everton

    Intent is irrelevant though, I think the surprising thing was Ederson didn't made much out of it and maybe if he did, the outcome could of been different.
