Ref Watch

Letter of the law - Fake Ron should have seen Red also, but miraculously only got a yellow. If that had been any one of our forwards Sky would have played it on a loop and begged VAR to take action.
Violent conduct, Beglin apologised for initially saying red card as he thought NH7 had kicked jones chest when the replay showed he’d kicked the ball....yeah hard as fuck straight into his chest in a snidey fit of rage. Red all day long.
 
"Richardtheref"?

It might not have been applied for 15 years but it's still there:

An indirect free kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area,
commits any of the following offences:

controls the ball with the hand/arm for more than six seconds before releasing
it
etc
The 6 second rule used to apply once the goalkeeper was deemed in control of the ball. This would include once he had the ball in his hands to take a goal kick. Now it officially only applies during open play and he has full control of the ball. However, under FIFA interpretations, the ref has been advised that the 6 second rule should only apply once the box is cleared of all outfield players. Also if he is on the ground this does not count until standing and all outfield players have left the box. Furthermore, if an attacking player is within 10 yards it is deemed he is stopping the keeper releasing the ball.
 
Alty has got more than a few 'questionable' performances in his scrapbook.
Hackett in the Telegraph today suggests that he had a strong game but the way the Pogba red was administered initially was in stark contrast to the red that Delph got at Wigan. No doubt that Delph was an easy target for the ref, but Pogba v The Dippers at The Swamp? Come on, we don't give reds unless yer called Crappenberg and it's a derby!! I seem to think it was the same Whistling Wanker? Had we not had some sense from the VAR shed Pogba would have completed the full ninety!

It's suggested that Taylor didn't have a sufficiently good view. If he didn't, why the yellow in the first place. He seems to have seen enough to give a caution. Methinks he's reffing from the Variable LotG volume, often reserved for our exploits.

It is violent, and the option of kicking the ball at someone instead of using yer foot to kick 'em doesn't make it any less violent.I remember Gary Nutter getting a red for deliberately kicking the ball into the crowd. I think it is another example of some players having different rules applied to them compared to others. Let's wait for a player getting dismissed for the same. it'll come before the season ends.
