As One has said this could easily be a police incident and especially since you have already reported it to the appropriate football authorities, you still have time to go the police. I think you did the right thing by carrying on with you afternoon game. In my view, with anything adverse...

Definitely with deliberate play v deflection & comms discussion, though it is so difficult to tell one way or the other despite some on here spending time looking at the incident on different formats/screens, though on the whole I agree with Russell Jones that it is a deliberate play because...

And for the purposes of this incident without the use of VAR, surely we have to say that the AR was not incorrect to advise & the Referee was not incorrect to support/make the decision.

All I can say is very well done & I was also watching live but dipping in and out. However, it was especially not easy to detect even with replays they showed because they only featured on the cross into Dack. The same commentator was harsh on other decisions throughout the game with almost the...

How on earth you spotted that at the time is a question I would ask, but since you did, great spot.

I’ve watched it a few times now and can definitely see where you are coming from. So rather than being unfocused as I initially thought, the AR was fully attuned.

I think that is exactly what could have happened, though there was enough happening in this game from their point of view in terms of tight active/non offsides for them to undertake their main role.

Allegedly it was one word, but could have been repeated on more than one occasion.

Looks like he had something on his mind with what had occurred because as soon as the player played the ball into the box he raised his flag without being aligned with the 2nd rear most defender. It has to be a lack of concentration/focus, but costly.

In the same game, there was a penalty awarded to Gillingham for handball. It is reasonable to say that from the replays it is doubtful it was a handball, but there is also an angle sky provided which was almost from behind the Referee who saw the arm of the defender raised at the time of impact...

In this case the offending spectator (I don’t really want to call him a supporter because he is not what a true supporter should be) appears to have been from the Away club who were winning at the time, so perhaps in this case it’s also a wake up call. There are conflicting reports as to whether...

That is definitely a learning point that can be taken from the incident. Nothing is straightforward anymore, what may have been the norm is now no longer. More clear detailed information is needed these days, but still succinct.

Good point, though I haven’t heard the audible either.

I understand that the PL KMI Panel have ruled that the goal should have been allowed to stand but that VAR was correct not to intervene.

To be clear, I’m not saying that this decision is line of sight since we all now know it isn’t - I’m talking about the exact second of impact from the AR’s perspective, though it looks like we disagree on this point. My view is also that the AR in question is one of our best.

In events from all the camera angles line of sight was not overall the case (but I still agree with Rusty Refs comments that it can’t be said for sure that the goalkeeper’s view wasn’t hampered), but was not clearly wrong from what he identified from his position - he stated what he identified...

I completely disagree with your first sentence, but agree with your last sentence. From his aligned position imho it is more than reasonable for the AR to have said line of sight (in whatever way he said/mentioned it).

Absolutely agree with everything you have said, though I would say that ‘almost’ an unwinnable battle is unwinnable.

In the good old days it was the norm and then some used to change at half time, though more so at grass roots.
