Hearing the audio and I think this for me reflects badly more on the AVAR because his complete silence during the whole check is unhelpful and he should be there as those extra pair of eyes on the footage and should be 100% concentrated. The process for the SAOT does seem quite a bit of a faff...

Disallowed goal with most people thinking Haaland strayed offside going by the camera angle(as Neville was so adamant that was the case). One thing I have found slightly amusing in Carraghers analysis last night was the Foden red card. Pundits have been criticizing refs for not making on field...

Yeah I thought he had an reasonable game also and he made a "brave" decision of sending a player off in the first half in a huge game and whilst in some ways I think yellows for both would feel the better outcome(as I'm not convinced Foden's kick out was violent, it was more petulant and I'm not...

Could be consequences for Matt Donohue as this is the second occasion where it's possible that he's misapplied the laws as a VAR(Palace v Chelsea the other game). I mean it's hard to say if he's misapplied the laws here or he just genuinely did not believe a possible subjective offside offense...

I think a yellow for both would be the more right punishment, I don't think Foden kick out was particularly violent and it was not studs into the stomach and Fernandes most definitely milked it. Was always unlikely the VAR would overturn it though.

I don't think it was a penalty at all and it should of been overturned, Ballard has Konsas arm locked in and it was Ballard that caused the fall. I wouldn't blame the referee but the VAR has too see who caused both of the players to go down and see it was the Sunderland player who caused that...

It's not and I think Webb says they want th VAR's to do a it this way as it stops having the ref to stop play at a random moment to check something that may of happened a few minutes before. In fairness I am amazed this is the first time it happened as when you hear the mic'd up clips, something...

Because the Ipswich player kicks the Liverpool player on the foot which makes him lose his balance. Ref was probably blindside and thought the Ipswich defender played the ball but clearly he didn't so would of been a correct recommendation for a review. It does look a bit silly sending the ref...

Its funny how one incident means we should get rid of the boards but I don't think the TV companies will like that as they won't be able to do the shot of the 4th official holding the board up too see who's coming off. That said these days the TV companies know who's coming off well before a sub...

Should not put doubt in the VAR mind though when there is clear contact on the top of the foot but pundits and fans can't complain too much as they wanted less VAR intervention(despite England has the lowest VAR interventions in Europe) so don't cry when the VAR don't intervene because they want...

That's fair enough and maybe where the confusion occurs because I remember last season some controversy where a Newcastle player wiped out a Man City player in the box after the City player took a shot but because the ball was out of play before the contact was made it was not awarded as a...

It was not a powerful shot or anything like that though so Im not sure if this situation really covers that but I don't think it's deliberate handball either so I dont see an issue here. Let's face it, it Ipswich scored that goal there be much less noise that it's an injustice but because it's...

If that's the case then has the referee got the decision wrong because from what I read, in a situation where an attacker gets a shot off and then a collision occurs, it's usually not a penalty unless the challenge is deemed reckless. These situations are a bit grey because some people think...

If its a long throw in, I thought there was no countdown? I'm personally no real fan of these countdowns, just give refs extra work to do on top of what is already a hectic tough job in the first place. If a team is time wasting on a throw in, add it on and/or caution the player who is wasting...

We all know if England was a physical side and they have success with it nobody will complain. I mean when Spence instigated the contact against Norway to win a penalty, you had Lee Dixon suggesting that the contact could be instigated but he doesn't care because it's a positive result for the...

Will leave a huge hole in the UEFA refereeing ranks as whilst Kavanagh has been promoted, you have to say out of our referees who got badges, who is next in line to get that promotion to do the CL games? Attwell having a FIFA badge seems a huge waste of time for me as he only does VAR and never...

I do think many people's thoughts on Argentina is masked by history and of course having the audacity to beat England fair and square. Yes there approach is very physical but if that was England and it was successful, apart from a few footballing snobs out there, people will be loving it. I...

I thought the referee has done okay, yes Simone could have a yellow for persistent fouling but both yellow cards are correct for me and whilst it's been a bit niggly and a few handbags, there has not been anything way too aggressive as of yet.

Depends how FIFA/IFAB want officials too see these type of things though. I be more than happy for VAR's to intervene if they feel there is sufficient evidence that a striker is deliberately instigating contact to win a penalty, it is basically conning the referee and should never be awarded...

Difference is the punishment is more severe and a defender has every right to shield the ball out of play in that situation. In this situation what is Spence shielding the ball for for one and secondly he exaggerated a movement to towards the right and actually you could argue he fouled the...
