    Arsenal v Atletico

    Simone has been just as bad. Would have been worse if the scoreline was the other way round.

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    The ball changes it's trajectory and Sesko's fingers move. Not sure what else you need? It's a horrendous mistake by VAR. If you watch the after match 'analysis' they are all joking about it. Even Keane was in on the jokes!

    Man City v Arsenal

    Interesting here some are saying it should be a red card, but with the United Hair pull it shouldn't have been one? There was probably less force in Gabriel's head movement than the hair pull. I guess it shows everyone has varying opinions and why VAR is always under scrutiny! Disclaimer: I...

    Atletico Vs Barcelona

    I have a feeling the player was offside hence no action taken.

    Don't give Arteta ideas!

    Man United Vs Leeds - Hair Pulling

    Wouldn't any type of hair pull be under 'excessive force'? It's not a footballing action and therefore any force behind pulling hair would be deemed excessive?

    Man United Vs Leeds - Hair Pulling

    I really am unsure what the debate is about? First action - normal and a footballing action jumping for the ball. Second movement - yanks the hair. Sorry, but I can't see anything other than a red. If, however, it was all one action and chance involved, I could see why it's could be debatable.

    Chelsea vs Newcastle

    I think it's really unprofessional. Tell them to go away, if they don't, caution them all. Its intimidation from the Chelsea players.

    ARS vs CHE

    Just out of interest, why didn't you show all the Chelsea holding offenses the other end? The biggest issue I saw in the match was the appalling lack of understanding what advantage is. The ref stopped three(!) Arsenal counter attacks when they outnumbered Chelsea defenders, but the ref stopped...

    Arsenal in CL

    Was anyone surprised at the lack of red for DOGSO for Calafori yesterday? VAR gave penalty and once that happened surely it's a red for DOGSO? He wasn't playing the ball, he was pulling the shirt, so the 'double jeopardy rule' doesn't come into play. Was Kepa's positioning enough to put doubt...

    Arsenal vs Man Utd

    If you watch it again, you could say he punches him in the chest first, while competing for the ball. Don't mind that, bit of benefit of doubt. But the punch in the head, when the ball was out of play, not playable for either player, there is simply no justification for it.

    Arsenal vs Man Utd

    Had Maguire's arm been beside him or close, it would make sense, but it was outstretched and away from his body. From IFAB website for examples for law 12 : An attacker (Team A) attempts to pass the ball. A defender (Team B) makes a slide tackle to block the pass. The ball touches the right...

    Arsenal vs Man Utd

    Was Maguire falling over? Or was he throwing his body on the line and making himself a lot bigger to stop a goal?

    Arsenal vs Man Utd

    Everton player got sent off for a little friendly slap round the face. Martinez punched Jesus in the back of the head. Something you get disqualified for in boxing. I can guarantee ref watch will say there wasn't enough 'force'. The Maguire handball is the one I don't get. Flung himself in...
