I know the handball penalty incident has been discussed a touch in the City Wolves thread but I think it's warrants it's own thread as seemingly going by what Dale Johnson is saying, possibly the VAR has misinterpreted the law that led to the referee misinterpreted it aswell although perhaps the...

I got to say the decision not to disallow Bournemouth's first goal for a handball has totally baffled me as the ball clearly strikes the goalscorers arm and lead directly to the goal. The VAR had a good look at it but did not intervene but surely in law it has to be disallowed? I'm not too...

Not sure if it's me or not but I can't help but feel this programme is losing a bit of a feel on what it should be about. It feels like the vast majority of the time they are showing obviously correct interventions(like Palace v Brighton) to back up Howard Webb's belief VAR is a good thing and...

I'm all for having a threshold for handball but Sunderland really should of had a penalty for handball against Keane, the hands well away from the body, looks unnatural too me, should be at least reviewed but perhaps Salisbury being cautious after what happened last time he was on VAR...

Great game to watch and I thought Tony Harrington refereed the game pretty well. I know there is some controversy with Grimsby's second goal and the 3rd goal which was disallowed for offside but the first one would of been very difficult too see for the on field ref and the offside is subjective...

Thoughts on the DOGSO red card? Incident starts around 4:05. There is an argument the referee should show him an yellow because it's a pre season game but surely the referee needs to apply the laws and if he thinks it's a DOGSO then he has to go red regardless if it's a friendly or not.

Well it's finally happened, a referee(Darren England) rejecting an review at the monitor for a potential handball. I have to say I can understand initially why the VAR sent him there with the arm out and therefore the ball being blocked from coming into the box but the more I have seen it, it...

Thoughts on the potential SFP by the Wolves player? For me, it looks a clear red card too me with the foot rolling over the ball and the foot fully planted on the leg. Really thought VAR would get involved but apparently he didn't get involved because it was "accidental". As far as I'm aware...

Seems like they schedule this show randomly(thought they would let the upcoming round occur and show it during the international break) but in anycase the clips that have been shown tonight includes: The Everton overturned penalty against Man united. Newcastle handball penalty Vs Forest via...

Arsenal v Bayern all over again with a defender deliberately picking the ball up from the keeper and because the ball was 'live', the referee gives the penalty unlike in the Arsenal game. One big difference here though was in the Arsenal incident, Gabriel was on the edge of the 6 yard box and I...

Thought I start a thread to highlight about the "Refs call" terminology and the potential flaws that comes with it. In the Man united Spurs game, the red card to Fernandes was not overturned because despite the VAR seeing the challenge wasn't with the studs, he just went with the "refs call"...

Is the high bar for penalties against handball so high now we will barely see one because how on earth Wolves did not get a penalty for handball is beyond me, arm couldn't be more outstretched, proximity clearly not a factor and the arm moves towards the ball. Forest also have an appeal for a...

Controversial ending to the game with the handball and potential red card for Joelinton. This is the bit I don't like when referees don't get sent to the screen because it's "factual", its like those penalties decisions where a tackle may or may not of occured in the box and it's not 100%...

What are people's thoughts of Michael Oliver rejecting to overturn Arsenal's winning goal for handball. If I'm an Everton fan, I be unhappy that the referee rejected the review because he does control it with his arm and there is a lean forward towards the ball aswell but I wonder if Michael...

Cringing a bit at the post match discussion on Romas 3rd goal suggesting the VAR has drew the line wrong and the goal should of been disallowed. Steve Sidwell even saying we are hoping too see a red line as I'm assuming that would make the technology more believable and nothing to with it...

Just seen a clip of the red card for Ben Mee and my goodness that is not a clear and obvious error by David Coote surely? He was literally a yard or two away with the best view yet he get sent to the screen looking at an angle further away and decides it's a red. It looked more reckless than...

Surprised there is no thread on this given the supposed controversy over some of the decisions. The TNT commentators were not happy Young got a second yellow card(probably because for the neutural it was going to make the game even more just an attack Vs defence type of game) but for me it was...

I got to say, how did the VAR not recommended a review for handball for the first goal. The same VAR who recommended a review for a dubious handball in Forest Burnley game yet a clear one in this case was not reviewed. Any logical explanations?

Right decision to book Guimaraes or should it of been upgraded to a red? It does look one of those where it feels it should be a red but the referee having a very good view and seeing it only as a yellow probably puts the VAR in a difficult position as no doubt he gave yellow because of the...

Thoughts on the red card via VAR? Seems to be dividing opinion although I do think the right decision was made as Allen's tackle did have briefly 2 feet off the ground, no attempt to play the ball and the potential for a severe injury was there. What is getting people though is Pawson was...
