    Sitting out Pre season games

    Pick and choose. Can get some decent games above your level preseason. If county were appointing based on open dates then probably wouldn't bother

    World Cup referee standards

    @Archer Even the chancellor isn't taking calls from Keir. Could see Andy Burnham turning up for the Final as his first overseas trip as PM.

    US v Bosnia

    @one Agree. In the past didn't Collina do debriefs during the tournament? Now we've got him writing articles praising himself...

    England Vs DR Congo

    @socal lurker The one I saw post it had deleted it the next day. Usually a solid reporter and a qualified referee Jacqui Oatley.

    Spain v Austria

    Where's the hair pulling controversy at this World Cup? @Tealeaf Solid work

    Portugal v Croatia

    They'll be a necessary sensitivity limit on this technology. There will always be the risk of false positives and if they try and eliminate them then they'll get false negatives

    Portugal v Croatia

    "honestly I feel like it felt like a slight contact with my hair"

    Portugal v Croatia

    It was appalling defending. I'm not actually sure what he trying to do, certainly not head the ball away. Maybe duck out of the way.

    Portugal v Croatia

    Just from the video then you can't be sure so would have to go with no touch. Have to rely on the sensors in the ball, and correct calibration of the pictures Presumably they don't register off if it hits a hair strand, otherwise you'd got false positives if it hits an insect or dander in the air

    England Vs DR Congo

    Was supposed to @, @RefereeX . Not sure how that happened. Zaire an old name for Democratic Republic of the Congo Anyway Republic of Congo is named at the UN as simply Congo, so I was wrong to shorten Democratic Republic of the Congo to Congo.

    England Vs DR Congo

    @JamesL Was tempted to put Zaire

    England Vs DR Congo

    Massive underdogs against Mexico. Surely Rashford's last start for England. Actually thought the referee was generally good, mannerisms a bit off putting.

    England Vs DR Congo

    Jacqui Oatley reporting VAR recommended a review for a penalty, and the referee decided not to initiate it

    England Vs DR Congo

    First Incorrect corner off World Cup? Came off Gordon's hair last

    England Vs DR Congo

    If you have to hurdle the goalkeepers arm or side step it then you aren't getting going to catch the ball

    England Vs DR Congo

    More in shock the referee made diving motion then didn't caution Kane
  17. bester

    England Vs DR Congo

    Ball just out of play, Rice taken out by late tackle just after. Would've said the whole of the ball wasn't out based on previous ones, but presumably indicated out by the technology

    Mex v Ecu

    Perception, plus it looks ridiculous anyway

    Mex v Ecu

    It's incumbent on referees to stop covering their mouths when talking as well.
