Straight red card shown! No doubt, horrific foul in my opinion. Great call by referee. Surely no one can have any complaints over Dan James getting his marching orders there

You were informed incorrectly. A club ref has all the responsibility of an official ref. This includes a sin bin. A sin bin is a type of disciplinary action, of course you have the ability to utilise this. If a player commits dissent towards the referee then he is sin binned. As for parents, do...

I think the stats have shown this is definitely a factor, it’s very hard to argue against it. I feel it’s a conscious decision or even a directive but at the very least, refs are not giving red cards they would normally. Unconscious decision I will allow to be argued but I can’t see any other...

When it comes to OFFINABUS, there is opinion of course and I respect that. But a 16 year old screaming **** off at you. I’m struggling to see anyway that isn’t a red. Again, I come from an area where “industrial language” is normal language. Every 16 year old knows if they shout **** off to a...

Yeh I’ve Googled it seems like an alright concept. Not a thing that exists in my county though.

Last season only 2 red cards were overturned, so of the 18 (16 correct, 2 incorrect) red cards shown by the ref, 88.89% were deemed to not be clear and obvious errors. This is a good percentage I’m not arguing about whether Var is good or not, I’m stating that in my opinion, referees have...

Respect stewards at U12s? In 11 years of playing, spectating, coaching and refereeing junior football, I have never seen or heard of this

Last season, there were 33 straight red cards awarded in the Prem. VAR awarded 17 of those. Over 50% of red cards were originally given yellow or nothing by referees. All of these were deemed clear and obvious errors. If a Premier League referee has a less than 50% success rate without...

100%. I refuse to believe SG1 officials are this poor at making on field decisions. Not just this one, this can be put down to isolated incident, but all season this has been the case. Either it’s VAR re-refereeing or PL officials are at an appalling standard

The referee gets sent to the screen, and to very little surprise it’s overturned to a red. Raphinha is pushing the line here. Been booked for dissent and is still trying to get into the refs face. His own teammates are trying to hold him back. I’m expecting him to lose his head soon

25th minute - Are we showing a red to Ayling?

Well I for one am very excited to hear the thoughts of this game from a certain member…

Anyone watching the BT Sport commentary now, it’s hilarious. Steve McManaman is almost in tears about this ref at times. Can’t say I agree with all the refs calls but the commentary reaction to it is hilarious. This isn’t exclusive to City, Robbie Savage and co are the same when United are...

And a penalty has been awarded. It’s gonna get interesting now No doubts it’s a pen

Which part? Also we finally get a yellow. Lightning quick pulling out of the card by the referee there

As much as I’m cheering for Madrid tonight, what does Casemiro have to do to get booked. I can only guess he’s avoided yellow there for it being SPA, but it’s a shirt pull and a trip from behind, certainly can be classed as reckless. Also there was no advantage really, I think City would have...

Yeh it’s a clear foul on a player in the penalty area. I do need to check the IFAB law where it says that if the player gets a shot away there’s no foul because I didn’t see it last time I looked! If that happens anyway outside penalty area, e.g. a player gets clattered after taking a heavy...

Yeh a nice feisty start for the game. Will be an interesting one. City are time wasting very early on as well which will spike tensions. Can not believe Casemiro avoided a yellow tbh

This. I come from an area where, growing up, swearing was a normal part of vocab. In the schoolyard, kids are gonna be swearing all the time. We’re not there to be some moral protectors and go harsh because it’s children that are swearing. This is different. The player has very directly told...

Yeh after seeing the replay I was satisfied with it. A lot of shouts for Kavanagh to deal with but an impressive performance imo
