Anderson had that reaction he was expecting a yellow card to come out so clearly he must of at least sworn to the ref but how severe it was or whether he was implying the ref was bias might of what made it a red card. I thought the first Forest pen was a nailed on pen, clear foot contact...

Would be better if they do the review show in such a way that they can show more incidents? We really don't need on every show Owen explaining who is speaking and when the ref is speaking, we also don't fully need Owen faffing around on the touchscreen either.

To be fair to Keith Hackett 3 former PL referees thought it was a red card(Dean, Gallagher and Foy) so Webb is clearly in the minority here even among former colleagues. I do understand what he says however when this perhaps should remain as refs call whichever way it goes as it does feel more...

My issue is however, say in the scenario a referee issues a second yellow for simulation but there was contact but perhaps not enough for a penalty(given the higher threshold), would you not want the VAR to intervene on that basis? We will never know if the VAR intervened here because the ref...

I'm not a fan of using this glancing blow as an excuse not to penalise as serious foul play/potentially endangering the opponent. We can't be encouraging knee high challenges with a straight leg and because it may of only graze the knee means it's not dangerous.

However VAR supposedly can't overrule on yellow cards so the VAR can only judge whether they think the ref made a clear and obvious error in not awarding a penalty. For me, I'm happy with an intervention on this, even if it's not fully in protocol because the ref has made a clear and obvious...

Well if we want consistency then I'll link to the mic'd up clip of Chelsea Spurs where a Tottenham player had a goal disallowed as there was a glancing contact on the knee which the on field ref was going to go red card for but the VAR told him to consider it reckless which was then backed up by...

I hope Dale is wrong but I suspect he's not because we all know from past experience that Howard Webb only cares about the stakeholders/people in the game over the laws of the game so it would not surprise me in the slightest if he instructed his VAR if anything similar occurs then stick with...

Agreed and for them to get rid of this 5cm tolerance line also and accept offside is offside even if it's just by a nose. The fact the PL/PGMO claimed this is the best tech in the world is proving to be a bit embarrassing to be honest. I also need to point out Dale Johnson's comments that the...

It's ridiculous that they have not seemingly sorted out the SAOT in crowded situations, this issue happened last season at Bournemouth and almost a year later it still exists. However it must be pointed out this is a good VAR intervention because it's correct in law and I will have no doubt...

I think Moyes is perhaps trying too see it as I do in that is a small tug like that really violent conduct and warrants a 3 match ban or is it just more unsportsmanlike? Nevertheless the fact he says it's accidental and the VAR should be embarrassed for telling the ref to come to the screen is...

The red card is spot on in law but i would like too see it changed when the pull is minimal and for it to be a yellow for petulance/unsportsmanlike like conduct. If the hair pull occured when players are running or it's a proper aggressive tug then red all day as that can be classed as violent...

Or as Dale Johnson says, the TV broadcast point of contact when they think the ball has been kicked and the VAR's version can potentially not match up leading to potential situations like this where one frame rate could make the difference between looking offside and being level. Blame the...

I got to say the decision not to disallow Bournemouth's first goal for a handball has totally baffled me as the ball clearly strikes the goalscorers arm and lead directly to the goal. The VAR had a good look at it but did not intervene but surely in law it has to be disallowed? I'm not too...

I actually think Neville made a valid point that because of Van Dijk size then the challenge may not look as severe but regardless it's a red card type of a challenge that should not occur in the game. The Gordon one was covered by Sky as a comparison and that had alot more speed and force(how...

It's another classic case of finding an excuse not to send a player off it feels(VAR seemingly not recommending a review as it did not follow through) and for the vast majority of SG1 refs, detecting SFP on the field is still a real issue and it has been ever since VAR came in. Nothing will...

Are they bad decisions though or are they actually correct decisions in terms of how UEFA expect officials to penalise these situations? I think it was Anthony Taylor who says when he's officiating in Europe he does it differently than he does in the Premier League and it's clearly obvious UEFA...

I think that is what causing the controversy here, yes the review maybe backed up via the guidelines but is it a clear and obvious error. I do think the Spurs defender created more of an offense and the only reason he was in a "headlock" was his own doing really. I be okay with this decision...

I thought Burn constantly had his hands up in the air to show he's not holding the defender but it does look a little bit on the soft side especially for a VAR intervention. It's one of those where if the ref gives it onfield it won't be overturned but if nothing is given then it will stay that...

But the PL have been boasting this is the best technology out there so surely you have to trust your own equipment which they have tested for quite a long time. For me, the lack of clarity in some of these images is what confusing people. I personally would prefer the UEFA/FIFA way of coming...
