There is a correlation there though, the team with more possession will commit less fouls and also be more likely to be yellow card offences when they do.
He didn’t just not give the fouls, he didn’t give any cards. I get the argument for accumulation, the two challenges that I thought were nailed on yellows he didn’t give were Jesus’s and Bernardo’s.
I laughed when he kept pointing to others parts of the pitch as if to say I didn’t give a card there so I am not giving one here. Utterly pathetic. Agree that Bernardo’s should have been yellow and the one early doors for Jesus. In fact if he had have given that one then we wouldn’t be discussing his shit performance as I suspect arse would have realised they couldn’t go round kicking us. They probably should have had at least four to six yellows though but everyone saying how wonderfully well he reffed the game. Baffling IMO.There is a correlation there though, the team with more possession will commit less fouls and also be more likely to be yellow card offences when they do.

All of them.Which members of his household are rags out of interest mate?
I agree but that’s not down to the laws of the game that is the referees interpretation that a cynical foul is based on the amount of players in space. Even shirt pulls on Haaland were ignored.
When we were playing Barca in champs league a decade ago we’d be down to 10 men every time & then ultimately done for.

Be prepared to provide evidence.All of them.
I thought the bit futher down my post was the clue.
Absolutely but the laws of the game are always down to the referees interpretation. He didn’t ref that game by the book, at least at the top level, like I said earlier in the thread he reffed it like a championship game.
I was half expecting the first yellow to be given to Bernardo as that was the first challenge that one of our players did that would normally be a nailed on yellow. I’m at least glad he was consistent with it.
Wow, that's a bit petty. Who will referee Russia?Apparently they still don’t let English refs do Argie games and presumably visa versa because of The Falklands.

If I remember correctly didn't Jack Taylor an English referee ref the 1974 West Germany v Holland World Cup Final.Would it !!! FIFA think an English man is possibly holding grudges about a conflict 35 years ago but the PL don't think a man whose entire household are rags could be biased.
On another note has an English man ever refereed a West German/German match ? Or the French national side, my forefathers fought the hundred year war against them garlic munching bastards.
