The first is extremely tight. Slowed down to 0.4 seconds to be able to stop it much more closer to release, and i agree the left back may appear to play on. But its a quick split second decision by the assistant and its one that if it went to VAR it would probably take 3-4 minutes. I do wonder...

If you watched it, you must agree it was a very entertaining match. Far better than the bore draw Arsenal seemingly put up. Thought refereeing was very good, maybe a 9.5/10. Reasons being, he took no crap from benches (Kompany booked for protesting), keeping them in check. No moaning after by...

I agree a lot with this. However we also have the issue that fouls we give (or even dont give) that are not given (given) in pro games theyre complaining that it was a foul yesterday on MOTD.

Usually, not always.

Offside call in 2nd half against Forest. Early flag with attacker through on goal. Very debatable. I thought for close calls flag stays down. Ive seen some absolute obvious ones get delayed yet some mm decisions flagged. Wish they'd do one or the other. What do you think..

Maybe they should look at the micro pads... Proper pads would have prevented this.

Still don't like it. Its a horrible shirt.

I do hate the players for clubs like Madrid and Barcelona who try anything to get free kicks, holding parts of bodies no contact occurred, staying down trying to force ref to card... Anyway. There was a foul by Valverde, cautioned, yet i didn't even think it was a foul. Vini Jr pulls his...

Aston Villa was a previous season too

Seeing a clip on social about a goal kick between the teams so not sure if in last night's CL game or the game at weekend. The same as others, keeper stops ball, passes to team mate (who has a cheeky look up at attackers), stops ball with hand, passes back to keeper. Are you giving handball...

MO does that a lot hence previous comments about not overulling him.

Arriving late happened to me once before. A game at Camberley Town, I was AR. Pre match was asked to arrive at 1345. The ground was about 45 minutes away. But I hate leaving it short. Wasnt aware of roadworks or anything. Left home at 1230, grabbed a coffee from Costa en route. Got on to M25...

Agree with that but sometimes I wonder if mindsets change with length of time left etc. If 6 mins added, going into 6th minute, are you just clearing it and/or taking it to corner etc or with 11 mins added in the 6th are you playing football of some kind due to knowing the opponents are in no...

Im not sold on red. I've not seen the previous 18 or so minutes so dont know the temperature of the game (commentator, in one video seen, said something like he needs to get control of the game). Its reckless. Definitely. Serious foul play? No quite sure. Only good thing i like about it was...

Just like half the Hammers did at the ground. Difference being is you could to back and watch, they couldn't.

But isn't it VAR that fans have an issue with? As in, they think theyre missing loads of stuff within VAR and not helping the ref.

I understand that, but its the same people who run both.

Reason wasn't abandoned was explained (to the fa) as a safety aspect.

Yet fans want European refs as they're supposedly better

As said, was very much last minute of the entire game. It was felt safer for the AR to get the players back on the pitch, get them away from AR so he can "escape" safely during the distraction of restarting. It was felt that if abandoned at that point it would have put the AR in more danger...
