    Liverpool vs Everton

    Not surprising considering it's Tierney on VAR who never seems to like to overturn decisions when they are subjective. Sadly Sam Barrott follows the trend of modern day Premier League referees of not issuing a direct red card on the field straight away.

    Mark Clatternburg Overlap Interview

    Sadly which former referee out there that has done media has actually enhanced the reputation of referees? Probably only Howard Webb I can think of who seems to be able to handle the media but even he gets mocked(wrongly in my view) since he became the head of the PGMOL. Issue is, referees...

    Match officials mic'd up

    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...

    Man U v Arsenal wall controversy

    What is even more bizarre is Sky got Dermot Gallagher to measure 10 yards on the studio floor and he got it right much to everyone's delight in the studio yet there was a clear marker on the floor right where Dermot stopped! I mean honestly, embarrassing from everyone involved.

    Crystal Palace vs Millwall

    A ridiculas number really, people moan about player burnout but what about referees with the running around, training, travelling etc. As I said in my previous post, at least PGMOL has got somewhat a bigger pool of SG1 refs and games are being distributed more evenly than in the past but...

    Crystal Palace vs Millwall

    Great yet another thread being taken over by Greame's and Rustyrefs bickering :rolleyes: There is no doubt MO is having a tough time at the moment, so much so I'm getting an increasing feeling he may retire at the end of the season because why put himself through that scrutiny and he has...

    Crystal Palace vs Millwall

    Maybe it will sound like I'm making excuses for him but could the sun in his eyes be a factor how he did not see the incident fully? Somehow the linesman missed it aswell so I do have some sympathy. However this is what VAR is for, to clear up the clear and obvious errors such as this one. I...

    AFC Bournemouth vs Wolves

    I heard conflicting reports that the technology has failed but when I hear that, I assume failed mechanically or did it just 'fail' in respect it could not make a decision because of the amount of players involved? Either way, I think this incident could lead to it not being introduced in the...

    Crystal Palace vs Millwall

    He must not of seen the contact with the studs on the head and unless we were right in Michael Olivers position then we will never know if he saw that or not, giving it would seem he gave no sanction would suggest he just didn't see it but maybe the linesman could of. I think in fairness to...

    Crystal Palace vs Millwall

    I wonder if Oliver even thought there was contact to the head as he played on because surely he would of stopped play if he thought there was contact. Would of been interesting if VAR would of intervened if palace scored which they almost did.

    Man Utd vs Ipswich

    Tbf to Darren England, he probably was unsighted but what did surprise me was how many replays he had to look at to finally make a decision and then we had further slight delay where he was looking for the player to explain why he was going to send him off before actually sending him off, surely...

    Man Utd vs Ipswich

    And even then, it took Darren England a good while at the screen to perhaps be fully convinced that it's SFP. I actually thought coupled with him taking a while at the screen and then looking for the player to talk to him before doing the VAR signal to give a red, he was going to give a yellow...

    Getafe Vs Real Betis

    I think red card also but what's the difference between this and Lewis Skelly's red card? I suspect most refs in the PL would give yellow in all honesty.

    Everton vs Man Utd

    Dale Johnson wrote in his review that the referee thought Maguire fouled Young possibly by a pull on the shirt so when the VAR checked that and didn't see Maguire commit a foul, he had to recommend an on field review because the pictures showed in his opinion Maguire did not make a foul...

    Bournemouth vs Wolves

    I think the first season of VAR, there was quite a high amount of yellow cards on field upgraded to a red via VAR which either gives the theory referees were playing it safe(as downgrading a red to a yellow would probably look more of an error) or the threshold for SFP was exposed via VAR...

    Everton vs Man Utd

    Well if you think the intervention meant the on field decision was correct then surely it's yes it was right for VAR to intervene. Maybe Madley thought Young was tripped and if he said that on the comms then that is a clear and obvious error, I won't hold my breath on that though because going...

    Bournemouth vs Wolves

    Seems quite rare these days for a referee to produce a straight red card for SFP but of course when a referee does make a "brave" decision(Michael Oliver), he gets hammered by everyone so in one way I don't blame them for going a safe yellow first and then see if VAR gets involved. In fairness...

    Arsenal v West Ham

    Out of interest, is this a DOGSO because of the keepers positioning or should it be classed as a DOGSO even if the keeper was in his 18 yard box? I mean the other defender was nowhere near and the attacker would be through on goal.

    Everton vs Man Utd

    I think you can argue in this case Young just chucked himself and try and take advantage of the slight(or fleeting as PGMOL like to use) shirt pull whereas Jota there was virtually no contact with the defender and it was all instagated by Jota so trying to deceive the referee. It's certainly...

    Bournemouth vs Wolves

    Well the MOTD pundits perhaps unsurprisingly disagree with this being a red card and in fairness to Shearer I do see his point that the point of contact from the Bournemouth player is caused because hia foot slipped from contact with the ball. I'm in two minds with this because contact was high...
