Seriously. Lee Dixon is just the worst, closely followed by Danny and Murphy."Can't the linesman just run on the pitch and kick it off"![]()

I suspect there will be a divide amongst those who have officiated at senior level and those who have not. I also recognised it to be a a penalty.Only me shouting for a penalty then. Clear penalty for me. Anywhere else, no ball, that high, studs on top of foot, foul + caution .
imagine giving that pen on a sunday morning.
For me no penalty.
Wasn't VVD protesting the Goal Kick decision? That was a pretty poor oneThe grabbing on that Dutch freekick there was obsessive on Simon. I get it would be a big penalty to give. But he was the rear post runner and they just held him to the ground. VVD rightfully furious at the decision and getting himself in the book.
I think him and Simon's are fuming about the grabbing. Maybe compounded by the goalkick.Wasn't VVD protesting the Goal Kick decision? That was a pretty poor one
Can't complain... Couple of contested decisions for ball out of play.I hope he has a good game. There's already been far too much chat in the media about him and would be great for him to silence the doubters.
Iām intrigued as to what whoever was in the England dugout was cautioned for, as the obvious thing would be delaying the restart, but it was a Dutch throwā¦
But Iām not too bothered![]()

And that is the problem for me. Don't really have a problem if the decision was penalty or play on, but I genuinely don't see how it can have been judged as a clear and obvious error to have not given it. Not complaining obviously, but it feels very inconsistent with other incidents in UEFA games.This penalty has split the forum!!
I honestly thought "they'd be SCREAMING for that in my Sunday league".
Thought it was a member of TA staff! I was too busy jumping round the living roomIt was a substitute, so it's a caution regardless![]()
Same thought here. Idiot defending. Pen YC justified.The more I watch it the more I'm satisfied the VAR was right to intervene. Think this photo sums it up for me:

If you're going in studs first like that, get none of the ball and make contact with the opponent, it should absolutely be a foul every time.
Is the phrase "clear and obvious" just an English/FA/Premier League thing? Or is it applied to UEFA/FIFA too?
