Not even a yellow either I don't think. I suppose back to the narrative of 'let's keep it 11 v 11' like in the other post? Haha Mind boggling

Exactly this. Bad tackle, yellow card, players surrounding referee, player being cautioned is in the referee's face, raging, clearly swearing and calling him names (possibly even red card) and the referee, usually 99% of the time, doesn't bother doing anything about it. This should be a classic...

Its a shame that football is literally the only sport where this is 'acceptable' /rules are bent just because you are a 'professional'.

Dissent is a cautionable offence? Doesn't matter how 'managable it is'. When you see Premier League players shouting and swearing in the face of a referee go unpunished it is infuriating. Then what happens in Sunday league? Refs are abused and assaulted. I haven't called him a cheat, he did...

You have answered the frustration of many referees and fans across the country withn your reply. Referees in the prem seem to almost use different variations of rules/bench marks to what is written in the rule book. My opening sentence = yes he has done the right thing. I am in no way...

Has the referee followed the rules? Yes. Going to throw a curve ball here.. I have never seen any referees so eager to send players off for double yellows when the players has hacked someone down, got up and sworn continuously in the face of a referee for 30 seconds and performed all types...

Well justice served. Offside and Spurs lost. Still isn't an excuse for what happened, or the lack of anything happening.

What a complete mess. Spurs player fouls Southampton player on half way line. Results in head injury from the tackle and Sanchez landing on his head/neck. Ref doesn't give foul nor stops play for a clear head injury. Spurs go on and score. 2 issues. 1) brings up the inconsistency of...

Ah I watched it on my phone last night. With that still I see it now. Yeah, probably could have cleared the ball, especially as he is closer to goal too. I thought it was the player more central that scored.

It's basically the same as the Villa v Utd goal in the FA Cup that was disallowed. But in this situation, Maguire's block was on a player that defo was not contesting for the ball nor would have got anywhere near it.

If this was the case you would disregard all Sunday league Dogso based on skill alone (no offence to any Sunday league players here)

A bit closer and the angle was severely against him. Cardiff player had to collect the ball to the left of the pitch, still very central and roll it into an empty net. Its almost denial of a certain goal rather than an opportunity. The only thing I semi agree with is the distance, but like...

Can someone clarify why so many refs here think this is NOT Dogso? Leicester's goal is proof why this was 100% DOGSO. Empty net, no real challenge from a defender. Like what else do you need? If a defender pulled the player back and the keeper was in his goal, everyone would say DOGSO, so...

It's DOGSO. He has to roll the ball into an empty net, virtually unchallenged. Leicester scored their goal from a similar situation with 2 defenders actually covering and the angle was much worse as its was towards the corner flag. If the keeper was in the goal and the defender wiped him...

No your example there is fine. Example of a player being offside. The ball being played around several passes, defenders touching/clearing it...then a goal has been scored. The goal then being ruled out for offside is annoying, especially when different var officials will judge it differently...

Exactly this. So many decisions/goals have been changed due to something that happened which appears to be ages before the actual goal/pen has been given. No consistency whatsoever with VAR which makes watching football a ball ache now

Yes I know that.... But they can't disallow a goal by not following the rules which is what I'm saying. Did the ball go in off the players arm? No. So goal stands. That's VAR's job.

VAR protocol confuses the hell out of me as it seems depending on who is using it whether they actually follow it properly. So I've given up trying to understand what happens in Stockley Park. What I'm trying to saying is. I don't think VAR could be involved to actually rule it out with...

You can tell who are Utd fans... Rules = goal Is it deliberate? No. That's a perfectly natural position for jumping - like the rules state. Ref didn't see it, so I doubt VAR can get involved anyway? They could if he handled it directly into the goal? Rules will probably be changed again for...

What annoys me about this is refs take abuse all game from players which is worthy of a caution, but they never produce cards. Manager says something - boom a caution/red without hesitation. Bruno Fernandes could probably get about 5 cautions a game for what he does. Never recall him getting...
