Difficult decision as it’s almost like 2 offences occurring at the same time. Had it been me, I think it would have been a defensive free kick for dangerous play but I can see why handball would also be given.

It baffles me. He has no technique, he can’t control a ball and he can hardly move. He’s literally a lump. Perfect for Wycombe though I suppose with their style of play

If you’ve made a tackle which has made a man standing still do a front flip, it’s excessive force. Nothing less

Brilliant game by the ref I thought. Wycombe are a big physical side and he managed it well on a side note, Akinfenwa is not a footballer

Ok, sorry. The defender DID mistime his challenge, so is the responsibility solely on the attacker?

But if the defender has mistimed a challenge, is the responsibility solely on the attacker? The downward motion you’re talking about as well is a player attempting to put his foot on the ground. It’s not a stamp or excessive force. if I go up for a header and you stick your leg underneath me...

I think there’s to much focus on the studs to shin here, something which isn’t a red card on it’s own. Yes, that happened but it didn’t endanger the safety of an opponent. You could actually argue that the defenders clumsy challenge put themselves in that scenario.

I wasn’t suggesting it’s not a red because people aren’t expecting it. I was asked why I thought match control would be gone, and my reason was it’s not a red, nobody expected a red, so going with a red would be wrong and lose match control. You’ve twisted my words there. My point was that it’s...

We all make mistakes but VAR can’t possibly look at that an not overturn it. It’s just wrong, no other way of looking at it

Because absolutely nobody is expecting that whatsoever and it would be completely unwarranted. Ok he’s caught him on the shin but it’s not SFP. You pull a red out there and the United players lose their heads

If you go red for that your match control is out the window.

100% simulation. Did VAR not overturn that?

No pen for me. Neville says he can see why Moss gave it but to me it seems clear than Fernandes has essentially jumped into the defender and landed on his leg

I’m a Middlesbrough fan so I may be accidentally biased but I do agree, I couldn’t believe that they came to the conclusion that it was a genuine attempt to play the ball. The referee in my eyes had a very poor game. There Millwall player throwing an elbow at Djed Spence In the line of the...

Can see where you’re coming from, but it would be harsh to punish a boot to the face when the face is at shin level and the other player has slipped and is falling away from them, not even looking at them. I agree that SFP can be an accident, but had he not slipped it simply wouldn’t have...
