Glad it wasn’t just me being biased! Poor decision by VAR, totally understand why it was given by referee, but it is just telling players that diving is ok…

Hi Not sure if it is because of my gold-tinted glasses, but I’m feeling that there was something iffy about the penalty given. Looked like Vardy instigates the contact with Sa. As I said, could be total bias, but would love to hear opinions here. Sorry - can’t find a video yet. Will post if...

They’ll never stop doing that 😂

I can understand the first pen from the angle - initially looked like a follow through from the keeper, but really wasn’t - was clattered after getting the ball. The second KMI is a real pity, everyone expects a DFK for defending team.

Outstanding decision (neutral here). No intent to play the ball. Horrid tackle. Just a really nasty one. As Rusty said. Straight leg with force. Could have demolished the Achilles and/or broken the ankle.

Both penalties were poor decisions in my opinion.

Think he is very lucky to be on the pitch. A very dark shade of yellow for me. Doesn’t matter if you get the ball… lucky boy imho

Haha. Can't do that - That is beer money!

This is the line I use... "You might receive a caution if you do this again", or "you are giving me a decision to make"...

What do you stick the decal county badges on with - unable to get embroidered anymore.

Hi folks I see some higher level referees with different badges that they can stick on top of their normal shirts. Is there a good way of achieving this? I don’t want to have a shirt for my grassroots or county and another for national women’s. Can’t afford it!!

Had a Millwall fan (old school) at my game today. He asked what gk is meant to do. I explained that I understand that there was no intent but it had to be a red card. Doesn’t matter if you get the ball or not - just so dangerous.

Haha! It’s entertaining - not necessarily insightful.

This is where there should be two tiers of SFP- one match ban and 3. The argument is that it is up to the player to remain in control of their bodies - but also this argument works for both sides, as sometimes unfortunate things happen. Will be interested to hear more on this tomorrow on Ref...

My main opinion here is that AY does dive making the falling unnatural. Had he had just gone down, I actually think he would have got the penalty, but he dived like he had been knocked over by an HGV. However, I think that being able to hear the referee comms live would sell the decision...

As a referee, I think this is a nasty tackle, and worthy of a RC. I understand the argument of VAR getting involved, but I think it was out of control and comes under SFP. Of course, I am totally biased, as I am a Wolves fan...

I think this was one where Luiz cracked Jimenez’s headthat Arsenal got away with a few seasons back. To me it is late and a foul. I think this whole ‘in the box’ threshold nonsense needs to go. If it’s a foul, it’s a foul.

This is a really tough one. I think it is unfortunate. That is my thought. The first one is purely accidental, second I think is avoidable, but not sure if deliberate act. A really difficult one - it would definitely fall under the SFP instead of VC imho.

My issue is the change of direction once he has slipped. He had the chance to pull out of it.
