Mike Dean not correct, goal scorer received ball from a throw in, no other player touched the ball. A prostrate player was lying in an offside position but didn’t touch the ball or interfere with an opponent.

VAR took a long time to view this, I suspect if we ever hear the audio they were close to advising a red otherwise they would have quickly dismissed the check for SFP. Was a noticeable delay for the restart & Nunez was a worried man! 😟

I would usually give pushes for two things 1. Extension of two hands (maybe a clear one hand) that extend towards the opposition player. 2. A deliberate push/nudge as the ball arrives at the attackers chest (albeit less inclined in the penalty area). Hope that makes sense.

For £4 these are excellent, buy a new one every other season! https://www.sportsdirect.com/sondico-referee-set-840123#colcode=84012399

Are the ref's audios recorded so could/would be presented as evidence to confirm what Slot actually said? Accept not to be released into the public domain.

Here are the lines & a couple of stills which probably show offside was correct 🤷 https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxEnh4AFbhfs_rtlUzN-1BOymOxEGErrPx?si=kOy-Xvf0VMzKXnEn

I think he needs a break, & said that after his family was threatened, he is only human. Most of us work & have time off from work too get completely away from the pressures of the job. Does a top PGMOL referee get any time off between July & May & even when they do would still be monitored...

I think could/should stayed without VAR intervention, the on field call was not a clear and obvious error. Not helped by bouncing off the ball so the contact was higher on the leg/shin. For that reason I believe yellow was better. I suspect/expect it will be overturned.

Useful reminder on the back pass law, must be kicked, not just ‘deliberate’. An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, commits any of the following offences: • controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing it •...

I did watch the match but didn’t comment that you were wrong, I just had a different opinion on MO’s performance. Can an opinion be wrong or right? It is not easy refereeing a top EPL derby at the best of times, add in the recent disgrace of death threats to his family (2 year old daughter)...

Likewise, not a supporter of either team, I watched the extended replay on TNT this afternoon, I thought MO refereed well, one mistake for free kick for Everton first goal. IMHO, not a foul for the Everton equaliser, notice Konate didn’t complain. I think all his cautions were spot on, no...

On a similar thread, last night's Man C v Real Madrid match, ball being knocked along Man C back four when referee Clement Turpin spots Haaland & a Real Madrid defender in the opposite half, grabbing each other's shirt & pushing each other. He blows to stop the game, calls them in, no cards...

In the same game, I was intrigued at the penalty shot out. Referee walked off to the penalty mark & AR briefed both GKs on his expectation on leaving their line etc. I have not seen a referee delegate this to their AR, is it a best practice? or actually better for the referee to be present at?

If you forget the coin. Decide whether you are going heads or tails, conceal an imaginary coin with one hand cupping the other, tiny peek from you, move hand to pocket, do it really quickly. “Yes heads, do you want to KO or choose end?” Confidence & it will work…. 🤣

Gosh deusex, I'm in camp of: Clear Red card VAR should recommend review for C & O The KMI panel would unanimously support Red Any appeal would be dismissed I guess shows how subjective football is......

It is clearly a bad error from AR. , but sympathy to Leicester & to the AR. I suspect we have all made blunders in our referee careers but not at this elite high profile level, a match defining error on live TV. He will be mortified & be with him for his whole career. So different to a...

Every day a school day, all 21 players must be 4 metres! Chaos if that flies in the top corner, & the referee gives a goal kick or worse a goal!

I mentored a young referee on Sunday morning, ref did well, all coaches & players very well behaved. However winning team coach says to me at the end of this competitive match “its so stressful managing the team!” They just feel that winning is the be all & end all & it’s U11 🤷

Two penalties for Josh Smith, FWIW I can't see what he got wrong, gives first waves away the second. Keith Hackett scathing, who'd be a PGMOL official? https://www.footballinsider247.com/keith-hackett-preston-wronged-twice-after-stonewall-incident-vs-blackburn/...

Sorry to hear that, you can likely give this coach/observer’s report his behaviour deserves, file it. However as previous poster commented, I suggest you re-write it, with three positives & three development points so you can at least benefit which is all that matters. You should have better...
