Ref has lost control of this game in the 70th minute by giving a penalty that is so unbelievably weak. In my opinion its not a penalty. He seemingly sent off 3 players now saying things out of turn, I guess, and they shouldn't have but I feel they have every right to feel aggrieved. Several...

Is it not odd that Josh Smith what got the Play Off final for League One having also, most recently, done a League One semi final (obviously involving one of the finalists)? I get PL have a final day of fixtures so lots of PL refs unavailable but he does not have VAR experience and they are...

Ive only watched the last 10 minutes as watched Dunfermline v Arbroath... How is Arteta being allowed to basically have his technical area up by the corner flag? Twice in added time he has stood with the thrower along with all 7 subs interrupting the throwers.

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...

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.

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...

Gabriel lucky to not be sent off?

If you watched it, you must agree it was a very entertaining match. Far better than the bore draw Arsenal seemingly put up. Thought refereeing was very good, maybe a 9.5/10. Reasons being, he took no crap from benches (Kompany booked for protesting), keeping them in check. No moaning after by...

Offside call in 2nd half against Forest. Early flag with attacker through on goal. Very debatable. I thought for close calls flag stays down. Ive seen some absolute obvious ones get delayed yet some mm decisions flagged. Wish they'd do one or the other. What do you think..

I do hate the players for clubs like Madrid and Barcelona who try anything to get free kicks, holding parts of bodies no contact occurred, staying down trying to force ref to card... Anyway. There was a foul by Valverde, cautioned, yet i didn't even think it was a foul. Vini Jr pulls his...

Penalty awarded to Germany via VAR for handball. Stuart Atwell is the referee. He was looking straight at it, no obstruction or anything. Yet failed to give it live. Just dont get it, why it had to go to VAR. Anyway, the penalty itself. When do you class the run up to be complete when...

Anyone notice the player, 11 mins in roughly, from Uruguay badly hurt but not hurt enough to shuffle 3-4 yards back on the pitch. Now a stretcher called. Would it be absolute karma if he has seriously hurt himself more by doing what he done. Should the ref have cautioned him, even if a friendly?

Only switched on when I noticed Igor Thiago came on as a sub. But from the 15+7 minutes he was on, he was pulled back when through on goal and no foul given. Not sure why it wasn't, ITV4 didnt show a replay to confirm if ref got it right. Then a few minutes later, Brazil on attack nearside to...

Have to say, thought Bankes had a very good game.

Is this offside? Semi Automated looks odd to Welbecks standing position.

Just seen the video with ref audio... The replays show foot on foot but does also show the foot on shin too. They focused so much on where it actually stopped rather than where first contact made. On field ref even, after VAR confirmed on field decision, asked to be double sure of it as he sees...

Have to say, a good use of VAR. Patience and calm by on field ref. Very quick on his decision too. Silva done what a lot do and puts arms behind back but then sticks his elbow out to stop it. Actually think he'd have been better off keeping his arms natural.

Hate to be that guy but how the officials missed the absolute back pass that led to the Wolves goal before half time. Not sure how VAR couldnt get involved. Keeper picks ball up from back pass, plays it to defender, gets it back and then sets the attack going. HT analysis says VAR called it a...

Dont understand how Madley hasn't given that penalty in real time.. I'm starting to agree with McCoist here saying that some refs are relying on VAR. Take that away, think Madley is actually having a good game.

What is your most red cards in a single game? Think mine stands at 5, where 3 of them were second yellows (and 2 literal leg breaks, straight reds, and 2 of the 2nd yellows coming from the 2nd leg break melee). Dont think ive hit 6. But could anyone beat 23? This is what happened in Brazil last...
