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...

Had to happen eventually.. Munster fans pull the plug on VAR screen just before half time so the ref couldn't see a potential penalty against them. So they made the decision in Cologne (where the Germans hold their VAR rooms). Silly thing is, surely if VAR have called them to the screen its...

Pep got, probably rightfully, carded for what I assume was dissent following non awarded of a free kick in the middle of the pitch. But around the 80th minute of so, Lewis Hall feels he got fouled on the touch line and screams at the ref, throws both hands in disgust on the ground and does not...

Seems to me that this injury trick occurred in at least 3 matches tonight. Leeds v Sunderland Port Vale v Bristol City Rotherham v Mansfield Then you've got players going down with head injuries in penalty areas that actually dont have head injuries but force game to be stopped AND they...

When players, especially keepers it seems, go down injured the rest of the team seemingly go to "have a drink" and have new fresh tactics given to them - especially if losing. Highlighted in the wonens game again recently, do you think there should be a "boundary" that players can not go in and...

Europa Conference League match. Ref sent to monitor for handball offence against Palace. Ref ignores VAR recommendations and actually gives a foul against the home side. I wasn't convinced it hit a Palace hand/arm anyway, but the high foot can clearly be used as an argument for protection...

Could/should Jesus have been sent off at the end? Plenty of time wasting and, in my opinion, not a lot done about it. Clearly some time was added and that obviously hurt Arsenal. In the last 5-10 minutes alone, whilst 2-1, Arsenal had a corner that a Wolves player took the ball to the corner...

Arguments to keep VAR eh... Offside goal. Penalty maybe for Hall (Newcastle).. What about Dignes foul that got him a yellow? Ok.. on that foul by Digne. TV image showed a cut where a shin pad should/would be. But was I seeing things when he managed to BEND the shin pad as if it was foam...

Thought the law states that players, including keepers, must wear something different to differentiate themselves from each other. I appreciate the law says game continues if they cant change colours, but at this level communication is surely better than the local parks..

Yes, again, I know its Brentford and I dont want to cause issues but im genuinely curious about 2 pen shouts. First, few minutes gone, Trippier clearly pulls Lewis-Potter back (even see the shirt leave the body/arm) yet not given and VAR didnt see as C&O. This would have been a red card if...

Abrahams goal... Disallowed for ball out of play. Lots of Villa fans moaning about how far back VAR can go, some complaining that if VAR knew it was out of play why didnt they tell the ref before the goal (the goal was about 30 seconds later). Some even saying that as Kelleher saved the...
