    West Ham v Arsenal

    So you missed the manhandle by Rice in background. Todibo also being wrestled away from Raya. There was something at the front post too. All on WHU and all before any contact with Raya.

    West Ham v Arsenal

    What led to the WHU player being on the floor here? Was it a foul by or for WHU? Right at the beginning of the highlight.

    West Ham v Arsenal

    Dont think he was shown that replay though. Here is an angle just before this happened, like a second or so... The Arsenal player is literally bear hugging Todibo from properly challenging for it that could in part be a cause for the next incident of arm across/shirt tug as he was now off...

    West Ham v Arsenal

    I thought that too (angle). Its going to be the case that there is zero point in corners as anytime a keeper is challenged its a foul. That happens on attackers and nothing is given. Plenty of examples (such as in the very same incident of Rice with arms around the WHU player) where holding and...

    Player Behaviour Initiatives

    Think it could work but players should have the freedom to move it 10 yards in their direction of choice, or up to 10 yards of their direction of choice. It got abused as teams would clearly attempt to get ball moved forward if it meant being on edge of area and harder for some kickers who...

    And for all the time wasting, adds "30 seconds"...

    Arsenal v Atletico

    Ive only watched the last 10 minutes as watched Dunfermline v Arbroath... How is Arteta being allowed to basically have his technical area up by the corner flag? Twice in added time he has stood with the thrower along with all 7 subs interrupting the throwers.

    Everton v Manchester City

    When you read socials (and sometimes on here) youd think everyone knows more than Collina!

    Everton v Manchester City

    The goal is a weird one for me. Personally id like to see this as offside as he has gained an advantage being there with the initial intended pass clearly for Barry. However, law says otherwise. Barry never made an obvious move for the ball and Guehi, unchallenged at this point, turns and...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    As has been mentioned, VAR have limited access to cameras compared to Sky, for some reason. It could be that Sky hadn't released that feed to them. It could be that the operators, despite being a few years in now, haven't been fully trained on what buttons to press to get various differing...

    Smart watch and rain

    Depends on the smart watch.. But, personally, when weather is not that good I tend to use a wrist sweatband over the watch. My other watch keeps me updated with time at a glance.

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Sorry, personal attack? All I said was that you ignored the rest of the post (to cherry pick your response) ignoring the rest of post which included the word DOUBT a few times. Its an amazing word you should look up. If you are a referee (your caption suggests not as you say you're an armchair...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Well done at missing the rest of the post. You're too tunnel visioned on this. No point debating.

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    No, you cant. The ball was already going in that direction. It has its own momentum and spin. There is enough doubt that VAR should not intervene. There is that word again... DOUBT. I'm not saying he didnt handle it. But then im not saying he did. I am saying there is doubt and if you have...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    Im sorry, you cant be 100% on that. The argument in the post "you can see his hand move". His hand was moving already. Its not flinched. No fingers have move out of place. Its not 100%. I know Liverpool fans won't like it. But you need to be 100% certain to overrule that and those sitting in...

    ManU v Liverpool - handball VAR decision

    I actually don't see an obvious move. Its similar to someone arguing about Hibs goal (not sure if it was given or not, just a FB group). In that game, because of the angle I'm more inclined to think he did play with his hand, but not this one. There is obvious doubt which is what you have to...

    Back after a year break

    Having taken a year out for a few reasons including losing love of reffing, I stepped back on the field for my first game today. Unfit (I know i am, lack of exercise of any kind will do that), I spent the last few days/week walking out and about to try and get some sort of exercise in. On to...

    Wolves v Sunderland - Hair Pulling

    That is what most look like. The DCL one recently, the Brentford one against Fulham. Camera stills make it look like a tug but it could very much be a trick of the camera/eye making it look that way. Both not given. Yesterdays one very similar but this time given. The one by Martinez on DCL...

    Wolves v Sunderland - Hair Pulling

    But they've made a rod for their own back by giving red for any impression of a hair tug. The one earlier this season, on Cucurella I think, was so obvious I fully understood it. Then a couple went unpunished and no one thought anything of it. Now it seems to be every challenge. I wouldn't be...
