Somehow cups are always seeing fewer cards, but generally, I think he's got the game well under control and isn't falling for some speculative attackers going down by a gust of wind

That'd be an answer to the question we've been dealing with on here all week

Maybe he just blew the whistle on the initial tackle? Can't imagine why he'd bring it back otherwise. I'm going with howler too, if you've waited that long to see if an advantage is there, you don't blow the whistle after that pass

Brilliant game by the officials but the talking point will be the missed advantage in the final minutes. I don't think it was for an offside, so that's a painful miss

Odds on Vicario mistiming one of those and joining the other two in the dressing room, leaving Hojbjerg as the stand in keeper for the draw?

Now both Romero and Udogie are gone, some might say some while after they initially should have. Not sure what's gotten into Spurs' players but Chelsea - Spurs always seems to be feisty

Couple of KMIs then, what maximum is Oliver looking at? Suppose there could have been four reds in that first half and it wouldn't have been completely out of place. Wonderful to watch, though.

Would you count the parry with the hands as controlled possession on a regular pitch and punish the keeper for handling it a second time? Think it's fair to think about those in the same measures, just ignore the parries for two-touch until guidance from those above comes down upsetting the game...

I really thought that in real time, it's a more obvious foul. They're neven sending that to the screen if Rodri wasn't going to be in the area where the ball came. Think it's a clear pen and for me it's C&O, but once again those standards are more fickle than the weather

So what do we make of this one? Most boots to face are rather clear, but I'm not so sure here. Would be an excellent one for the 'mitigating factor' discussion. https://streamin.me/v/97a1ebd9 To be fair, I can see why the red was given, it just feels the other player is *also* incredibly late...

I'd never argue with Peter on matter of law, who would. I know you're right. However we can alternatively artue that no player is cautioned according to any procedure as long as flash cards are accepted. Laws haven't kept up with the game at all.

I know I've done this and I've often been lucky that the situation was easy, but there have been times where I had no idea where the player was when the deflection or pass was made. I'm just lucky I'm not on TV, just so easy to switch off as an assistant

I think that for the Gordon one, Brooks allowed the free kick to be taken from the new position and got a good ball to Salah from there. Didn't therefore delay the restart but should probably have been.

Oh my bad, was thinking she was the original taker as she'd been taking the corners from that side before

And the corner taker that would have been carded was Siena as well, she got lucky on both DRP situations

The guidance is there, just not within my reach atm. It's absolutely possible. https://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/video-assistant-referee-var-protocol/#procedures quick seadch here says that the referee can give any sanction wherever appropriate. However, as mentioned before, it would entail...

He absolutely can. If he'd been called over and thought, well, Casemiro's being reckless here, then the result would have been a City free kick and a Casemiro yellow. It would have resulted in either Tierney or the VAR receiving a lower grade as it can't both be C&O SFP and just a yellow on...

With the Casemiro foul, a couple of missed corners and throw ins and the PK decision, the team hasn't had the best of starts.

Found the more interesting case to be that Antony wasn't sent off. It's at the very least a doubly-whammy for reckless + AAA and very probably a red for violent conduct/SFP on the tackle. How both Antony and Dunk ended up being booked is beyond me, either Antony is off or you do not punish Dunk...

I'm positive the Bayern pen shouldn't have been one because it deflected off a Akanji (edit) and the arm is in as reasonable a spot as can be expected. Upamecano one I can understand and apart from that, I think Turpin showed excellent consistency throughout. That man could lay down in an ice...
