I appreciate this is a screenshot from a social media post so I dont know the authenticity of the quote but if true, Tarky has a lot to learn still.. He mentions referees inexperience and not knowing the players. Do I assume then that new, young players, should not be allowed to play with the...

Is this the same Martinelli that felt a brush of contact and fell in the area, staying down (game stopped when Saka went down with head injury in own defending half with Liverpool in possession outside the area), holding his leg when literally no contact was made near the leg? When he is a saint...

May explain why you see a lot of referees issuing cards to players whilst on stretchers etc. One thing id add outwith all of this.. It was mentioned as "their" AR rather than the AR on some of them. If this was local leagues, with CARs, id be very wary of taking advice from them in...

So after seeing some replies, here was my take on the two incidents and after a night of sleep without emotion from the time. I personally thought it was a foul, and would be a clear DOGSO. A lot of soft fouls, much softer than this wouldve been, given throughout the match so was surprised...

Not after an argument or anything but just want an opinion on this. A foul was not awarded on the night. Nor VAR intervention. Im asking for two incidents here. The first is the incident with Thiago. The second is the penalty incident with Gray. Both in this same clip. VAR did look, but left...

I forgot about that. I di think Cucurella made a meal of it though (was it enough of a push to fall back like he did to hit the ground or was that more for effect?) but nevertheless, an easy yellow.

Thought that too. They got the decision correct in the end and thats important.

Glad to see Atwell caution both Rogers and James for that corner kick shenanigans... But next time, let it go and just give the free kick or penalty.

Ouch by Hackney. How the ref, standing a few yards away completely in view, only saw this as yellow is beyond me..

Found this.. Must admit took me several watches to see handball. https://streamin.link/v/929b12fa Should be a penalty. Law, again, says the player is only offside when impacting the defender (when not playing the ball). How does the defender know he is 100% in an offside position? Its...

I agree, more thinking that the powers that be dont want their poster boys looked at wrong (thats not implying bias, just that these are the ones bringing money in to the league by means of clicks on posts etc which is creating more for sponsorships and, there you have it, sponsorships soar)...

Have to say, not his biggest fan (but that's because until recent years his foul detection has been quite poor I feel, remember a blatant elbow to face in his early EFL days where the player fouled actually got a broken eye socket yet he got penalised!) but I felt Atwell had a good game last...

We have that ability only because someone filmed it and uploaded. The ref doesn't and deemed it a foul. The first question we should be asking ourselves in this instance is "is it in or outside the area?". We all know referees have one look at things, especially at this level. I, personally...

Chris Moore, former EFL player and now manager of Hanwell Town has criticised the referee with saying "how can they compete when this happens". The penalty (assume it was a penalty, one was scored in the game) looks to me to be outside the area but he only has one look. But where was assistant...

One other card potentially missed, though apparently checked, was Richarlison after scoring.. he literally had his hands around his opponents neck.

This could be an interesting thread. Love to know how either R or AR on that side failed to detect that being a red without needing VAR. How has Romero not been given a straight red (despite it being a 2nd yellow) for a blatant kick out). Bentancur, would you be considering more than a...

The interview i have seen looks like its in the press room, video supplied by Niche Sport Media. Ashamed to say it was posted to TikTok (i am not a member on there but can see the post).

Im not saying its truth. Just saying what he has claimed.

Keith Andrews has said in his press conference that officials explained to him the player did not see red because of distance to goal. Apparently he was too far from goal.

Oh definitely. Not helped himself.
