Ref Watch

So Newcastle denied a penalty, and City get a crucial goal disallowed what colour do the teams they played wear is it red?
 
Taylor’s view was that it wasn’t a foul and that’s why he let it go along with the other body to body challenges from both teams.

I just wish VAR would fuck off. You get some and you don’t get some without VAR and fans and players would accept it.
But then you have to question him not to have the guts to stick with it
 
We all blame VAR and the ref ,the one person that never gets mentioned and that is this so called match commander, what exactly is their role in a game of football?
 
I don't have a full understanding of the rules anymore so I was wondering, if two players are tussling for the ball, one player uses his arm and upper body strength to knock the other off balance resulting in the falling player holding the other players shirt for less than a second, what laws of the game have been breached? Who gets awarded the foul, the player that initiated the contact or the one falling over? What part of the VAR 'clear and obvious' guidelines would this decision affect? If a referee has let contact and physicality go all game where in the guidance does it say that if a goal is scored and there may have been physical contact in the build up that a referee should be instructed to view the 'incident' on the monitor with a view of disallowing a goal even though this decision is in stark contrast to the decisions he has made all game?

If there wasn’t VAR then there’s no need for this question is all I’m saying.

How many refs have the balls to overturn VAR. I think Oliver did it once and maybe another ref once but it’s rare.

I don’t like it and never will. I jokingly said to my son that VAR will find some way of ruling it out. The whole point of football is to watch your team score a goal. It fills you with happiness and joy after a stressful week at work. VAR just finds as many ways as it can to chalk a goal off. It’s a joyless introduction to the game and forces refs to go against their gut instinct.
 
As much as I hate to say this, but the shirt pull is a foul. I think we would all be seriously pissed off if it had stood against us.

He wasn’t wrong though it wasnt clear and obviously a foul. Also how many people just accept getting told they’re wrong and just change their mind ?
 
The only way UEFA & the Premier league can stop us are the decisions their officials make , two gmaes on the trot , Copenhagen and the Dippers were goals should not have been disallowed , its a back handed compliment , we are the best team in the land and all the world and the desperation to halt us is now becoming transparent.

So I guess you're going off Law 12: Fouls and Misconduct from the 2022/23 edition of the laws of the game?
I assume you're going off the Law that states a player gives away a foul when they "hold an opponent".
As you are well aware one of the other laws in this section states that a foul is given if a player "impedes an opponent with contact", so as I asked you previously if one player "impedes an opponent with contact" i.e. pushes their arm across the upper body of an opposing player and uses their upper body strength to cause their opponent to become unbalanced, the unbalanced player then commits what could be considered a foul due to the section stating that a foul is awarded due to "holding an opponent", which player is awarded the foul? The player that initially "impeded an opposition with contact" or the player that " holds an opponent" following the initial contact?
If a referee has allowed contact and physical challenges to go on all game where in the VAR guidelines does it state that this contact goes above and beyond the "high bar" for overruling an onfield referees decision? Does this fall within the guidelines of not allowing VAR to re-referee the game?

It wasn’t clear and obvious.

Even Martin Tyler said that if VAR had watched it at full speed like Taylor did instead of slowing it down then the decision would have been different.
