Ref Watch

[hertsblue]

Thought he was quite good today. Words I never thought I’d type.

Bit lenient on cards for them and got the way a lot. Started off 2nd half with trying to get them back into it but gave up at 2-0 and after the 3rd started to officiate without bias hence the cards started to come out.

I’ve read this three times and am still not sure if I’m losing my marbles or it makes no sense whatsoever?

So three of them said the referee made the correct decision. But all five agreed the VAR should have intervened and recommended he changed his decision?

That is some weird shit right there. No wonder no-one has any idea what is going on.

Taylor was ok today

 

[GSW Blue]

A few more performances like that and I might start to forgive him for that Chelsea home match!

 

[Kippax77]

Taylor being professional today, with the Euro's coming up.
See its not that hard is it Anthony?

 

[burning blue soul]

No complaints today. Kept the game ticking over and only waded in when needed.

 

[tommybooth]

Need to stop these constant holding of H moments.

Not that it affected the result, but why was the Munoz elbow incident not looked at? It seemed a clear and deliberate movement of his elbow to our player's head, which connected. I expected a var check for a potential red card.

Other than that they were good today, albeit he classic of booking players in the second half for the same kind of challenges that were not booked in the first half.

Typical taylor , no bookings early but then a flurry at the end

He was too busy trying to spot the passing lines in the first half to book anyone.

Fucking kills me how they all manage this, maybe they do a group training session on where to stand to fuck us up?

I see De Bruyne went over Palhinha’s leg ala Havertz but no penalty. Dermot won’t be asked about that on Monday. Or the fact it took three yellow cards for Diop to walk (the grappling on Haaland being the one left alone). The red a massive 90 seconds before the final whistle.
Still, a damn sight better than usual.

 

[MCFC1993]

One thing he did well was call over Reid in the 4th minute after Robinson was taking a while on the throw in and basically said cut that shit out.

Palhinha flicked his foot out.

Kavanagh on Tuesday.

Hard to see any trend with him. He is from Ashton Under Lyne but another non league fan !

I don’t recall any truly bad performances from him.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

He is one of the better ones but he is a united fan. I know because I know someone (Leeds fan) who trained with him.

Can somebody explain to me the difference between today's penalty, which was nailed on, and last week's which was (according to Ian dickhead Wright) the worst penalty decision of recent times.
Both late challenges after the attempt was made by the attacker.
Many on here were agreeing with Wright, unbelievably.

Alvarez touched the ball trying to control it and continue the attack and was wiped out.

Gvardiol had finished his action on the ball (ie shot) and collided with the defender trying to block it.

The latter are far less likely to be given than the former.

No, Alverez made an attempt at goal.

And ait nouri collided with Gvardiol.

If he made an attempt at goal, it was going about 20 yards wide.
