He's been very poor on co-comms. Saying it's not a red cos it's a final and then saying the ref should be sent to the screen to see it a few times and then if he still thinks it's red he can keep it!Co-commentator basically calling for mandatory on-field reviews now, if there were then would probably be complaining about them slowing the game down!
The red is fine I am ok with that - but the pen I don’t think the ref could see that real time - so VAR should have intervened.Camera went to Howard Webb in the stands after the red card, wonder what he was typing on his phone?
Glad it's not just me who thinks Don Goodman is talking utter rubbish, always seems quick to ref bash at every opportunity.
Schoolboy error @JamesLWell that was my first experience of celebrating a goal like a loony and VAR chalking it off!! Correct decision, on this occasion, but felt a bit of a prat. Had to apologise to the dogs..
Barnsley will feel decisions have gone against them, it was a clear penalty, but I don't understand the complaints on the red. Well done Tim Robinson on that one.
Commentators and pundits showed once again clear misunderstanding of VAR and basic law ... Even when presented with the SFP law!!
Thought ref team did well overall... With only the non-penalty to call out as a incorrect KMI.
As an owl, I am very happy tis evening.
I was distracted just before (bloody toddler) so didn't see it until replays. Clear as day offside haha. But what a strike. If that had won it they'd be reeling that one out for years to come.Schoolboy error @JamesL
I called it straight away when the ball went through. FWIW, I'd backed Owls to get promoted so was happy with the result, but Barnsley were mightily unfortunate to lose in the way that they did. Good game anyway, the PK was not seen by Robinson and was bloody obvious IMO and it was a straight red all day.... in itself a great example of brave Refereeing when the stakes are high
I'm conscious that my own threshold for SFP is too high.... I've only ever dismissed one player for a dangerous tackle (hundreds of games), so either I'm the best preventative Ref out there or my bar is too high
