No, you cant. The ball was already going in that direction. It has its own momentum and spin. There is enough doubt that VAR should not intervene. There is that word again... DOUBT. I'm not saying he didnt handle it. But then im not saying he did. I am saying there is doubt and if you have...

Im sorry, you cant be 100% on that. The argument in the post "you can see his hand move". His hand was moving already. Its not flinched. No fingers have move out of place. Its not 100%. I know Liverpool fans won't like it. But you need to be 100% certain to overrule that and those sitting in...

I actually don't see an obvious move. Its similar to someone arguing about Hibs goal (not sure if it was given or not, just a FB group). In that game, because of the angle I'm more inclined to think he did play with his hand, but not this one. There is obvious doubt which is what you have to...

Not helped that ive been away from work for 3 months either. Unfortunately (for colleagues) I am back this week. Then ill be made redundant in 3 weeks time as company closes 200 shops.

Having taken a year out for a few reasons including losing love of reffing, I stepped back on the field for my first game today. Unfit (I know i am, lack of exercise of any kind will do that), I spent the last few days/week walking out and about to try and get some sort of exercise in. On to...

That is what most look like. The DCL one recently, the Brentford one against Fulham. Camera stills make it look like a tug but it could very much be a trick of the camera/eye making it look that way. Both not given. Yesterdays one very similar but this time given. The one by Martinez on DCL...

But they've made a rod for their own back by giving red for any impression of a hair tug. The one earlier this season, on Cucurella I think, was so obvious I fully understood it. Then a couple went unpunished and no one thought anything of it. Now it seems to be every challenge. I wouldn't be...

Only time ive used it was a recent match. I went to watch my neighbours team play. But the pitch next door was getting very heated to a point the referee stopped the game to tell one of the sets of parents/coaches off (all stood together). After the game i approached him, after watching an...

Just seen the challenge by Anderson on Watkins. Should VAR have intervened? Looks on/above ankle with whole flat boot/studs on. Very nasty challenge.

Just watched the referees channel Facebook post about it. He says it should never have been given and gives a good explanation why.

Do you know of the contact details for the refs department? Start by emailing them and asking them the process and when applications etc take place. [email protected] Alternatively, you can ring them.... Call: 0116 286 7828 Option 3 Found this by accidently clicking on a link...

Just never understand how the added time in 99% of games always equates to a whole minutes and not, for example, 4 minutes and 40 seconds. We know its minimum of, but its never really minimum of unless something serious happens. Its almost always bang on.

Curious.. minimum of 4 added minutes. Keeper goes down and down for what, a minute? Game stopped at 94:05. So 5 seconds? Pays to go down and kill the game.

The football in the EPL has gone sideways and backwards and slow. Started by Pep and adopted by most others with poorer, in comparison, players. Most teams aim for set pieces. This game is just fast paced and all action.

For those not seen it... Think ref only saw this angle..

End of first half.. Handball? Very harsh. Defender turns his body in what id argue is a natural protection keeping his arm close to body as he does so. Im sorry, but you cant turn your body the way he has without the arm moving. The ball strikes the Bayern players thigh/midriff and bounces up...

Like the fact he seemingly turns around and reacts to the player on the floor. He does it all the time to take the heat off him and make it look like the opponent was in the wrong. Yet anyone goes near him he throws to the floor and then gets up and runs at refs.

Too right. I absolutely hate this move. I know the Brentford keeper has gone down (ironically against Leeds) before and players went over to listen to gaffer but most (i do think the Brentford one too) was for tactics and kill the game. I personally think we should be taking a player off, for...

Id argue it was more brushed, but as his hair is curly as it is, there would be a lot of entanglement and, let's assume you've all got hair, or your partners do, any "knots" will always be felt. But have you actually pulled the hair? Are we really getting to the stage that teams may as well...

Waiting 2-3 seconds may not seem long and can definitely show you if a GSO will occur. More than that, blow and red card. Proximity to keeper means he hasnt got a lot of thinking time either
