Abrahams goal... Disallowed for ball out of play. Lots of Villa fans moaning about how far back VAR can go, some complaining that if VAR knew it was out of play why didnt they tell the ref before the goal (the goal was about 30 seconds later). Some even saying that as Kelleher saved the...

Ok, ive used the wrong word (criteria instead of consideration). It was late in the day and beig honest, id had a really crap day. But my point still remains. His touch took him away from goal with a defender now back on the line. His next touch would have likely been more of a control touch...

Direction of play surely takes away one of the criteria for dogso.

But its always the refs fault for being conned rather than the players for even trying it. No one will slag him off million times on X or FB but will happily do it to the ref.

It may be that there genuinely are no fixtures. If there are some, then maybe ask the question of why you've not got one yet and hope to get one ASAP.

Trying to break down what was written (I agree with Rusty by the way, done that job helping someone whilst they were unable to do the role for a season)... They mention a foul by the keeper. They added that he was not last man by saying two covering defenders. This is, to me, irrelevant unless...

Putting this slightly back on topic.. Even Clattenburg is now getting in on the action... Already have Dermot on Sky... Now waiting on Graham Poll to wade in.

Seems to be getting up everyone's backsides with weekly opinions that create good content for some wannabes. Every week, he has to have a say on a decision that some fans dont like. And 99% of the time his opinion goes against the match officials giving more scope for fans to ridicule referees...

Ref should've abandoned it. Plenty of yellows for leaving field of play without permission. Keeper, already on a yellow, approaches the kicker and another player approaches ref before he gets to take it, both delaying. Send them off. Theyve already delayed the kick by 11 minutes.. The...

Ref should've calmed down action behind him when watching var.. Morocco given a penalty that I think should always be given but you never see it in England (see my post just yesterday) but will be viewed as soft... Now Senegal should be banned by fifa for their actions from all football for a...

Getting fed up watching games where referees during corner (and even throws now) routines continue to stop the process to remind the same few players each game, each week, to stop what theyre doing. If its a defender fouling, let it restart and give a penalty. If its an attacker, give the...

I appreciate this is a screenshot from a social media post so I dont know the authenticity of the quote but if true, Tarky has a lot to learn still.. He mentions referees inexperience and not knowing the players. Do I assume then that new, young players, should not be allowed to play with the...

Is this the same Martinelli that felt a brush of contact and fell in the area, staying down (game stopped when Saka went down with head injury in own defending half with Liverpool in possession outside the area), holding his leg when literally no contact was made near the leg? When he is a saint...

May explain why you see a lot of referees issuing cards to players whilst on stretchers etc. One thing id add outwith all of this.. It was mentioned as "their" AR rather than the AR on some of them. If this was local leagues, with CARs, id be very wary of taking advice from them in...

So after seeing some replies, here was my take on the two incidents and after a night of sleep without emotion from the time. I personally thought it was a foul, and would be a clear DOGSO. A lot of soft fouls, much softer than this wouldve been, given throughout the match so was surprised...

Not after an argument or anything but just want an opinion on this. A foul was not awarded on the night. Nor VAR intervention. Im asking for two incidents here. The first is the incident with Thiago. The second is the penalty incident with Gray. Both in this same clip. VAR did look, but left...

I forgot about that. I di think Cucurella made a meal of it though (was it enough of a push to fall back like he did to hit the ground or was that more for effect?) but nevertheless, an easy yellow.

Thought that too. They got the decision correct in the end and thats important.

Glad to see Atwell caution both Rogers and James for that corner kick shenanigans... But next time, let it go and just give the free kick or penalty.

Ouch by Hackney. How the ref, standing a few yards away completely in view, only saw this as yellow is beyond me..
