Arguments to keep VAR eh... Offside goal. Penalty maybe for Hall (Newcastle).. What about Dignes foul that got him a yellow? Ok.. on that foul by Digne. TV image showed a cut where a shin pad should/would be. But was I seeing things when he managed to BEND the shin pad as if it was foam...

What offence you referring too as you started with the Foden one and ended with the hair pull. For the hair pull, the only angle ive seen isn't conclusive. Literally looks like it could be either the shirt or the hair. For the tackle, I thought red at the time and im sticking with it. He was...

This is my point. This could have actually been avoided before matchday. As mentioned earlier by Chas, EFL rules stipulate they have to communicate 7 days in advance. Both teams have access to what colours each team "could" wear. So how hard is it for a couple of professional clubs to not...

So after a little digging... Sheffield United first keeper kit is the yellow one. Understandable as they're the home side. Middlesbroughs second keeper kit is also the yellow one. But wait... their second kit. What about their first keeper kit? Cant see this clashing with either Sheffield...

So basically the league allowed it.

How hard is it for the home team to also have a change of colour? Its much easier, if mistakes are made, for the home team to obtain a change. Even if its just the shorts. May look odd but surely one of them wearing, say, black shorts is better than than both wearing entirely yellow.

Thought the law states that players, including keepers, must wear something different to differentiate themselves from each other. I appreciate the law says game continues if they cant change colours, but at this level communication is surely better than the local parks..

Was it theatrical? Does that matter anyway?

Can I ask, what is the difference between the pull by the Liverpool player, that got the goal ruled out and him sent off, and the one by Trippier on Lewis-Potter in the Newcastle v Brentford game?

Surely by playing advantage this reduces the red to a yellow.

But hes given it for DOGSO.... but he scored.

This could have effect on the table. Man City lose out on a goal towards GD. Brentford actually would've gone 6th with Liverpool conceding to be fair. Liverpool have a player sent off that has no material impact on the game whatsoever compared to the goal Man City could've benefitted from...

Same. Just give the goal. Its what football expects.

So I said penalty straight away for the Newcastle penalty. Didn't see how minimal the touch actually was but it was still a foul. But no card, whatsoever? Surprised Kayode didn't get a yellow.

This one, as i did say I have seen not given and can argue that response too, but then you could argue it was out, he moved it towards the body whilst also straightening (strengthening) the arm to expect contact. But surely if given its a red. And here is the first one.

Yes, again, I know its Brentford and I dont want to cause issues but im genuinely curious about 2 pen shouts. First, few minutes gone, Trippier clearly pulls Lewis-Potter back (even see the shirt leave the body/arm) yet not given and VAR didnt see as C&O. This would have been a red card if...

Just watched highlights of the Charlton game against QPR and the QPR player attempting to win a penalty late on. Clear simulation. No penalty. But no card. Id rather refs went back to cautioning these and get the very rare one wrong (as i believe they dont caution as they're not 100% sure or...

You say that far back, but it was just 19 seconds from incident to goal and about 10 touches.

But youve got the benefit of this replay and side on view. When youre in the centre and effectively behind play, even if curving your run, you dont have this viewpoint and only one look at it. VAR would likely bail you out in the PL. But without VAR, youve got to go on gut. And my initial...

I was thinking about the Haaland incident where he was "bundled" before the ball was played in. Refs constantly stop corners being taken to speak to players about this sort of thing happening and do nothing about it when balls played in. Yet nothing was done about this before ball played in...
