Quite disappointed with the time wasting again. Martinez to get a caution for time wasting only in the 84th minute is rather disturbing to be quite honest. Is it part of the game? Yes, but to do it for the majority of a match and only get punished for it 6 mins from time is not on. Also to...

Unfortunately at Arsenal tickets are being bought by bots and getting sold for 10x the price or more, so CCTV probably won't do much in this case, unless a season ticket holder did it, then fair enough. Arsenal have a major issue with companies buying membership and bugging out ticketmaster to...

Having said that, VAR had one incident to review yesterday and they forgot to do the actual review.... They are sitting down at a computer with no pressure of players/managers arguing with them. No crowd influence. No physical exhaustion from running around. I can't imagine looking at an event...

Jogged about 10 yards and was still about 10 yards from the ref when he got his cards out.

Correct. All players stopped so it's quite different. Offside goal, everyone is playing to the whistle. Ref would have probably seen the shirt pull and given that. Very soft though.

Seen that. Not sure how you can forget to do your one job when you are called to do it. The second offside looks offside to the eye, so he thought, na no need to draw lines? Another VAR decision he has got massively wrong. Punishment? Probably 1 week off and back to making mistakes. Strange...

Yes because during the majority of extra time, Toney, Mee and Raya were on the floor. Then eventually Toney was subbed.

That's odd? 3 players went towards him and he booked the furthest one away? Was there anymore to it than that?

Offside for the block as it's stops Gabriel closing down the attacker. As you've mentioned, the goal itself looks very offside, haven't seen any lines yet though, camera angles can be deceptive. I would Love to know the score the ref gets for this match. His officiating was fine, but the time...

3 clips for VAR training. I'm going DOGSO, Fabinho red - text book definition and Robertson was extremely lucky. Only seen one replay, but that was a ridiculous tackle

How Fernandes stayed on the pitch was the biggest mystery imo. A frustrated tackle where he raked the guys leg high up the leg was nothing short of disgraceful. That was malicious. No attempt to play the ball and most certainly endangered his opponent.

So how about when goals are disallowed when: a corner has been cleared, a player on edge of the area shoots, goes in, a player on the floor/player to the side of the keeper is in an offside position and it is disallowed. In reality, the goalkeeper had no chance of saving it but complained, and...

The ball is at his feet for most of the journey. He is in possession of the ball. He also looks to play the ball until Bruno stops him. This would fit under the follow offences: clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action...

This picture (below) is doing the rounds from the Mirror correspondent. Commentator said they didn't have the angles which doesn't surprise me. Another VAR mess up. I suppose we will have to wait for 4 months for them to come out and admit it like the 6 they got wrong in the prem? It would...

I'm not trying to act dumb here, but I do not understand this. There was no offence as he wasn't offside. So they should have checked the offside and then gone, right he is onside, is it a foul, yes, award penalty. Otherwise goals would be ruled out for the same reason? Goal goes in, offside...

But the foul took place before the offside flag was raised. So surely it would have gone, penalty VAR check, then back to confirm if it was onside or not. If not, what is the point of VAR?

I don't understand how Wolves weren't given a penalty first half. VAR said it was onside (according to commentators) Saliba mistimed he tackle and wipes out wolves player. Referee says no foul. VAR didn't get involved in a very clear and obvious mistake? Which is really odd. Match resumed...

What was disappointing with this phase of play is the lino had a great view of it and didn't communicate the foul to the referee. The angle on the replay a few seconds later showed it was a foul and showed a very similar view of the lino as it was the touchline cam man angle. Ref's yellow for...

Felt the ref did a fairly good job today. Got to praise refs when they do it well! :) Klopp is the master at ignoring everything, squaring up to officials and even escapes bans! No chance Arteta will get told off for giving instructions to players.

I agree with the falling part, but he can't do much with his hand as that would be his natural position at that time. The player brushes the glove to make sure contact is made, which by pundit standards is 'clever'. But in reality, that doesn't make anyone fall over like he did. Player...
