That actually makes me laugh. Rarely do we see refs play beyond the minimum mentioned. Unless they've rounded up, I find it funny how the time added is, almost, always dead on the minute advertised (unless something serious happens like yesterday he played an extra 2 minutes). Rarely, very...

This little compilation by Wolves on Facebook... The corner that took an age. Then Gabriel going down. You can see the frustration of the Arsenal player after the physio called on knowing the player will have to go off for a short time. Yet looked absolutely fine. Also, their commentator got...

Could/should Jesus have been sent off at the end? Plenty of time wasting and, in my opinion, not a lot done about it. Clearly some time was added and that obviously hurt Arsenal. In the last 5-10 minutes alone, whilst 2-1, Arsenal had a corner that a Wolves player took the ball to the corner...

Refereeing aside. I think this could be viewed as cheating by the player. Without confirmation of another whistle or anything else those are suggesting was wrong, the player was hoping the keeper would make a move and slot the ball easily home to score a goal. The keeper didn't move. The...

Like Suarez in the World Cup?

If im not mistaken the offside photo still doing the rounds show the full back playing him on. But in real time I imagine the full back moving up in attempt to play offside and as its a quick decision, the assistant probably got the split second "when ball was played" part wrong. We've all done...

Assistant should have seen that better. But even Chris Kavanagh should have known that was inside. It was so blatantly obvious to see.

I just find certain laws frustrating when it comes to reds and yellows (and sometimes no cards!). This has been given as a red. Can support it. But I can definitely support a yellow. But when I see the likes of a handball stopping a literal goal only being a yellow (the difference being the...

And now a red for the keeper. Was it DOGSO? Yes. The keeper is removed from goal, but direction and distance, the ball speed going from the forward meaning chance of keeping possession... harsh.

Arguments to keep VAR eh... Offside goal. Penalty maybe for Hall (Newcastle).. What about Dignes foul that got him a yellow? Ok.. on that foul by Digne. TV image showed a cut where a shin pad should/would be. But was I seeing things when he managed to BEND the shin pad as if it was foam...

What offence you referring too as you started with the Foden one and ended with the hair pull. For the hair pull, the only angle ive seen isn't conclusive. Literally looks like it could be either the shirt or the hair. For the tackle, I thought red at the time and im sticking with it. He was...

This is my point. This could have actually been avoided before matchday. As mentioned earlier by Chas, EFL rules stipulate they have to communicate 7 days in advance. Both teams have access to what colours each team "could" wear. So how hard is it for a couple of professional clubs to not...

So after a little digging... Sheffield United first keeper kit is the yellow one. Understandable as they're the home side. Middlesbroughs second keeper kit is also the yellow one. But wait... their second kit. What about their first keeper kit? Cant see this clashing with either Sheffield...

So basically the league allowed it.

How hard is it for the home team to also have a change of colour? Its much easier, if mistakes are made, for the home team to obtain a change. Even if its just the shorts. May look odd but surely one of them wearing, say, black shorts is better than than both wearing entirely yellow.

Thought the law states that players, including keepers, must wear something different to differentiate themselves from each other. I appreciate the law says game continues if they cant change colours, but at this level communication is surely better than the local parks..

Was it theatrical? Does that matter anyway?

Can I ask, what is the difference between the pull by the Liverpool player, that got the goal ruled out and him sent off, and the one by Trippier on Lewis-Potter in the Newcastle v Brentford game?

Surely by playing advantage this reduces the red to a yellow.

But hes given it for DOGSO.... but he scored.
