Are they still used in stadiums in Brazil? Think i recall hearing about personnel entering the VAR room in a game. Edit.. found it...

Judging by Flashscore, they were all off the pitch. But cant imagine all of them were.

What is your most red cards in a single game? Think mine stands at 5, where 3 of them were second yellows (and 2 literal leg breaks, straight reds, and 2 of the 2nd yellows coming from the 2nd leg break melee). Dont think ive hit 6. But could anyone beat 23? This is what happened in Brazil last...

Had to happen eventually.. Munster fans pull the plug on VAR screen just before half time so the ref couldn't see a potential penalty against them. So they made the decision in Cologne (where the Germans hold their VAR rooms). Silly thing is, surely if VAR have called them to the screen its...

Pep got, probably rightfully, carded for what I assume was dissent following non awarded of a free kick in the middle of the pitch. But around the 80th minute of so, Lewis Hall feels he got fouled on the touch line and screams at the ref, throws both hands in disgust on the ground and does not...

I recall a video of a youth game somewhere around the world where I think the ref restarted play and a kid (may have been thr keeper!) ran entire length of pitch to score. Now, I dont recall it touching another player before he ran off with it and scoring but everyone was on the sidelines.

Issue with that is... whats the restart? Is the restart with the team who are currently getting instructions? So you wait. As the poster said above, when at low lever/grassroots, the tactical part may seem funny as its just very basic stuff. But in the professional game, so many things go...

Seems to me that this injury trick occurred in at least 3 matches tonight. Leeds v Sunderland Port Vale v Bristol City Rotherham v Mansfield Then you've got players going down with head injuries in penalty areas that actually dont have head injuries but force game to be stopped AND they...

I think they should have also looked at "head" injuries. I put it in quotes as plenty of players across all levels go down in the area, defensively, claiming head injury when they've not even been touched near the head (just look at Maguire, although not in the area). Personally, any player...

I agree. I wouldn't want to see it. But as someone watching, whether a fan or not, I want to see consistency in the same match on decisions, and that includes silly things like throws.

I appreciate that. But he must have known, with seconds to go, its going straight up the other end. Also, why are then Brentford throw ins always having to be taken in exact spot whilst opponents in same game get off.. thats my bug bear when it comes to restart inconsistencies.

Just seen the extended highlight of the handball goal on Facebook. Throw in given that leads to the actual attack. I get its a "defensive" one and teams should be able to defend better from that far out but my complaint is that ever since (I think it was Arsenal, may have been Man Utd)...

Sounds to me you, personally, had a good game. I remember when Sin Bins came in on trial. Seemingly in a small number of leagues but one of those was the league I was doing when living in England. I thought, at first, it was a good idea. There were players who fully deserved it and got them...

It looks like he headed the ball on the bridge of his nose. That surely hurts.

Can I point out that during those 5 minutes of VAR there were TWO checks going on. One for the handball, cleared within 3 minutes and a further minute or 2 on the melee that saw a substituted player for Brentford and a player, on the pitch i believe, for Burnley cautioned. They were checking for...

So like the ball in keepers hands then.

I appreciate his head might be turned compared to his body to see incident but his camera shows no foul. Just sees Gabriel already falling dramatically.

I know of some summer tournaments where they want ARs on semi and finals for whatever reason. Sorry, but if you're getting decisions wrong on this size pitch you should not be near a final.

Players leaving the field and taking their time really does annoy me. Some go to thank the officials, some stand and applaud the entire stadium, even if they're away team. They can thank them all at the end of the game.
