We can debate whether or not Casemiros Red was a clear and obvious error but I have a different question. United confirmed today that they wouldn’t appeal the red card. Do appeals still exist in the Prem? I thought I’d read somewhere that after the introduction of VAR, red cards could no longer...

Another Manchester United thread. Should United have had a penalty? Should Casemiro be off? The fun doesn’t stop

I agree with you, it’s something I was guilty of before coming to this forum and improving my law knowledge. At grassroots I used to blow when they made a play for the ball in a loose sense when I started. Now I delay the whistle until one of the criteria is met, and whilst a qualified ref...

Is “what the game expects” tho more relating to a subjective nature. Here it is objectively a fact he hasn’t interfered with play. No referee on here should be disagreeing with that. The subjective element comes more from whether he’s interfered with an opponent, and most of those points can be...

He doesn’t touch a ball played or touched by a teammate therefore he cannot be interfering with play. Does he interfere with an opponent is a different question?

Luckily none of the appeals were fouls. I will say the lack of punishment on Malacia for PI was odd. I turned to my friend at the game and said I thought Malacia had about 6 fouls on Mahrez with no warning. Law is stupid and all that, but surely delaying the flag isn’t important here as he...

Phenomenal decision by Attwell, from my position in the stands seemed like he called it live on the field without VAR. It seems the majority of people arguing against it are trying to find loopholes due to the fact that common sense says it’s offside. You can argue the stupidity of the law all...

Only on in the pub on a small screen so missed any replays and can’t find it on Twitter, people not happy with it though. What was the Wolves third goal ruled out for?

Right decision for Salahs goal but a lot of people on Twitter upset. Does feel like a silly one but it’s certainly not the first one we’ve seen like this and I doubt it’ll be the last

Yeh I agree. I’m fine with either decision here but I lean towards pen, which I called real time. Think VAR probably backs whatever ref gives here it’s one of those but for me it was a pen

Everything being blown for so far. One just given I’m fine with but 1 or 2 already that seem like very soft free kicks. Guessing that’s approach we’re getting early on

Don't think I've ever agreed with Walton before but he was brilliant here “what else is the keeper meant to do” and he answers “well maybe win the ball” fantastic answer

Thoughts on the first half penalty? ITV not happy with it at HT but I'm in agreement with the ref (and in agreement with Peter Walton for once)

Yeh disgraceful post match

Fantastic call live

Unbelievably brave decision in a World Cup. Not clear and obvious though

Really don’t see how this post is relevant to the question posted

Just what was needed, a controversial decision for the controversial hosts in a controversial World Cup within 2 minutes 😂 But yeh right call. Took me a while to see it but yeh a great offside call. Seen a few people bringing out the whole “but defender was there” and “when did law change” on...

Heavy touch past keeper, keeper brings him down, covering defender had actually got to the ball by the time I blew, which helped sell the decision imo. Had it been a more controlled touch so it was clear attacker would’ve got there instantly had he not been fouled (especially because as Rusty...

I agree with you on every other point btw, a red card is the right option. I would get absolutely no enjoyment from showing a red card for DOGSO to a 13 year old in the last minute of the game but the law is the law. However I don’t necessarily agree with this point. In my experience of...
