Fair enough, I don't particularly recall being able to clearly hear what he was saying, and the PSG captain's actions were confusing as well though, so I maintain that it was at least somewhat unclear. Doesn't change the fact commentators should know how it's supposed to work mind.

I think it's pretty clear from watching that at least some of the confusion was caused by the PSG captain specifically pointing at his preferred end after the first toss. Whether he misunderstood and thought he had won the toss and was choosing, was just confirming what the ref had said, or the...

Yeah, I have no issue with someone who would argue that it's dissent by action or that it's delaying the restart by forcing the ball to be fetched and replaced for the kick to occur again. But I agree that mandatory caution feels incorrect, particularly for someone who genuinely thinks they've...

I've said before that the classic list of cautionable offences is so incredibly out of date as to be almost irrelevant to today's game. Entering/leaving the FOP without permission has already been combined, but delaying and failing to respect the distance at a restart should be combined too...

Respectfully, that sounds like a slightly roundabout way of saying you were shouting at the benches from a bit of a distance? I think perhaps that's what's caused this to get a little more heated than it needed to? You didn't make a point of specifically "going over", so it probably didn't...

I mean, if the TV company can do it generate their referee-bashing screenshot to rile up social media, it's not beyond the possibility that if VAR were empowered to disallow goals for this reason they would have access to the same tech. I've certainly seen similar applied before to display the...

Yeah, only time I've had to use that drop down is dissent from a player as he's stepping off the pitch to be substituted.

Ah FFS, someone reset the sign....

The one advantage of interacting with managers is that you can just leave, and they can't follow! I always feel that if you're feeling a need to go over and calm them down, that conversation almost automatically ends with "and if I have to come back over again, it will be with a card in hand"...

It's been a while since I used REFSIX (due to my watch dying more than preference), but my recollection is that there's nothing stopping you "loading" the game up on your watch well in advance of kick off. Appreciate it doesn't necessarily solve your issues, but if you're intending to use...

There was also a lot of pushing and shoving afterwards, and while I don't know how relevant it is, the on-screen graphic that showed while the check was underway showed clips from the handbags rather than replays of the challenge. My assumption when I watched a replay of this entire section was...

That's true, and definitely good advice. But this wall is almost level with the penalty spot, so we can reasonably assume that's not the logic being applied here, much more likely he's just over paced. Honestly, my main takeaway here is surprise that this is on TV. I saw some references to a...

I'm inclined to say it feel less sensible than the "traditional" place. The convention is only to penalise encroachment if it is obvious and impactful, so not having a perfect side-on view in the traditional position shouldn't matter. And on the edge of the PA is a much worse position for...

Why should I move on from it? Is the official RefChat policy that I'm not allowed to criticise poor SG1 official decisions, or attempt to identify patterns in those poor decisions? Am I not entitled to feel a little vindicated that the pattern of poor form I identified months ago (not at the...

Doesn't make it a glamour tie?

Are they on this forum? For now, I'm comfortable saying that I think my eyes are serving me better than anyone on here who's eyes are failing to see the obvious pattern. They all have dozens of conflicting interests, not least the fact it benefits them if MO is able to work his way out of this...

Eyes?

In fairness, I assumed you would have been able to realise what I was implying without me needing to spell it out. You only need to go back a season on here to find me praising him above AT (and by extension, the rest of SG 1). But his excellent record doesn't preclude him being rubbish this...

That's not the statement I was referring to

Look out, apparently you need to be careful with statements like that! But I completely agree, another huge error in the run of poor form we're seeing from him.
