I hope not because if he does, then it will just create more unwanted headlines, you be hoping for the refs sake he has an uneventful game.

Well time will tell on that one for sure but he can have all the best movement and fitness but it's the decision making that most people will judge him on and if he's making errors on TV games especially then it will be picked up for sure. I will caveat that virtually most PL referees are much...

I disagree, I think people are just looking at his age and think he's got potential but he has made some notable errors this season which if it happened in a big top of the table clash would be even more noteworthy. For me the referees to replace Taylor/Oliver are Brooks and Kavanagh with the...

I was on about the clip Sky have posted from the programme involving Chelsea v Spurs with Spurs goal ruled out because of a foul in the build up. Having listening to it again, I think Pawson wanted it in full speed and different angles because of the sanction only, not because he may of...

I actually thought the dialogue between Pawson and Gillett was really interesting in that Gillett was very good at recognising the foul right away and Pawson initially seemed to be needing convincing and then when he was convinced it was a foul, he straight away thought it was SFP but Gillett...

True but the counter argument is so many different people use reckless to describe a red card challenge and you can understand why so my point was is the use of reckless to describe a yellow card challenge too strong of a word and should be used to describe a red card challenge? I do cringe...

Nice too see a referee going red without the need for VAR and most importantly getting the decision right. As for the media keep saying reckless when describing red card challenges then the fact so many different people do it may mean maybe the word reckless should be removed from the laws when...

Let's be honest now, do you expect a PL official to sanction this as SFP? I have my doubts and I have even less doubts VAR in the PL would of intervened. This looks like one of those where referees know why this is a red but former players and fans think a red is harsh.

Looks the classic case of the SPL having a much lower threshold for SFP but then when you do that then you can have instances like this when it feels a red is so harsh.

If he did, this would be one of those where you will hear football does not expect too see a red card here. Pawson was at the screen for such a long time I actually thought he was going to stick with his original decision but there was talk maybe he was there to debate whether to yellow or red...

Sam was very quick to blow and get the yellow card out, I really doubt he thought right in that moment, I better not give red incase it ruins the game. He is just sadly another example where he failed to spot SFP on the field without the aid of VAR. It's ashame because he did recognise just...

Of course but you got to sell it even more otherwise it could of ended up being brushed under the carpet. Clearly Mourinho wants out of there as he claims to hate Turkish football and clearly he is testing the patience of the Fenerbahce hirachy.

I don't even buy into managing the event scenario, I think what we are seeing is SG1 referees who joined the group from 2018/2019 are not brave enough and the threshold in the PL of SFP was exposed by the introduction of VAR in the first season or two. I remember saying there has been far too...

Of course referees description could play a part and I think when the referee is pretty close and gives a decision it can feel hard as a VAR to intervene but the evidence is all there for a red card, the leg buckles, that tells you how much force there was in the challenge. As a neutral...

Not surprising considering it's Tierney on VAR who never seems to like to overturn decisions when they are subjective. Sadly Sam Barrott follows the trend of modern day Premier League referees of not issuing a direct red card on the field straight away.

Sadly which former referee out there that has done media has actually enhanced the reputation of referees? Probably only Howard Webb I can think of who seems to be able to handle the media but even he gets mocked(wrongly in my view) since he became the head of the PGMOL. Issue is, referees...

Seems like they schedule this show randomly(thought they would let the upcoming round occur and show it during the international break) but in anycase the clips that have been shown tonight includes: The Everton overturned penalty against Man united. Newcastle handball penalty Vs Forest via...

What is even more bizarre is Sky got Dermot Gallagher to measure 10 yards on the studio floor and he got it right much to everyone's delight in the studio yet there was a clear marker on the floor right where Dermot stopped! I mean honestly, embarrassing from everyone involved.

A ridiculas number really, people moan about player burnout but what about referees with the running around, training, travelling etc. As I said in my previous post, at least PGMOL has got somewhat a bigger pool of SG1 refs and games are being distributed more evenly than in the past but...

Great yet another thread being taken over by Greame's and Rustyrefs bickering :rolleyes: There is no doubt MO is having a tough time at the moment, so much so I'm getting an increasing feeling he may retire at the end of the season because why put himself through that scrutiny and he has...
