Ref Watch

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I thought it was a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity, but what do I know.

I think there is a double-jeopardy rule where if you give a penalty you only give a yellow for the offence.

A bit like Cancelo v Fulham mmmm

I think there is a double-jeopardy rule where if you give a penalty you only give a yellow for the offence.

So Dendonker gets a red when his foul started outside the area and other Villa players covering back in defence.

The Chelsea player doesn’t even get a yellow, and he was the last man.

There is no consistency at all and PGMOL have nobody to regulate them, they just make it up as they go along.

There is plenty of consistency if you look from the point of view as to which teams benefit and which don’t.

I thought it was a red for denying a goal scoring opportunity, but what do I know.

It’s only a red if the player makes no attempt whatsoever to play the ball, so for example pulling the player back by his shirt. If you make a ‘genuine’ attempt then it’s a yellow which was the case for the Foden penalty. No idea why Havertz wasn’t yellow carded though, maybe in all the VAR nonsense the ref forgot.

 

[blueinsa]

He wasn’t bad but yet again, it’s a City player who gets the card, often for the first offence whilst the opposition gets away with similar if not worse.

Cancelo aside, the other 2 yellows where a joke when you saw what Chelsea got away with.

 

[tommybooth]

Yet again we get booked for fook all.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I assume it's 2/3 bookings and miss the next game in the cup?....soft bookings could cause us problems later in the compy.

so foden wouldnt of scored or at least get shot on target
wow he's regressed more than i thought or read

 

[dadnlad]

A bloke leaps into the air and punches the ball away from the attackers head. A clear penalty but not worthy of a booking.

the game also moved on for about 2 minutes maybe more which of course was added on to the injury time
nope didnt think so
