Ref Watch

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Yep, if that wasn’t a dangerous challenge which was meant to inflict serious harm on an opponent I really don’t know what is

As far as I understand it, that challenge can't be retrospectively looked at because the ref gave a yellow.

Basically the PiGMOL declaring open season on City players if they aren't going to effectively punish challenges like that.

I’m sure they can

What I noticed on the grealish pen incident is that the ref didn't actually make a decision. He didn't wave his arms to say no penalty I don't think he even pointed for a goal kick
It seems he was using var to ref the incident which its not there to be used like that

Which begs the question….if the ref doesn’t make a decision either way how can VAR decide not to intervene? They can’t hide behind there was insufficient evidence to overturn the referee’s decision because he didn’t make one. I was quite far away from that decision & the confusion around me meant nobody questioned it, basically it looked that much of a penalty we all thought he must of dived when it wasn’t given

for the best league in the world the standard of refereeing is fuckin abysmal, and that includes the twats on var duty who have multiple camera angles and still manage to fuck it up, the commentators agreed that was a penalty on glealish today, it's time the fuckers were made to explain themselves

This all day long

I watch Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park... video checks are shit. Spoils the game. None stop reviews. Some matches are worse than others but the idea it is better in RU is a myth.

RU is just posh blokes having a fight, shit to watch

I don’t mean why it wasn’t looked at, I meant why didn’t David Coonte give a red in the first place

In which case why was he not booked ?

Worst decision of the weekend was at Klanfield. Within the first 3 or 4 minutes Robertson wiped out a Chelsea player with an ill timed challenge that appeared to be premeditated. However, the referee seemed to give him leeway as it was so early in the game. Fast forward a few hours and Palace defender Guehi committed a similar tackle albeit not as nasty and was given a yellow card after 3 minutes.
The inconsistency of how different teams are referred stinks.

I’ve always thought that the Prem league should have refs and VAR officials from Europe and ours should go over there.
