Smelling at corners; he is a wonder to behold, the attacker he is marking never gets near the ball. By the time the ball arrives in the area the attacker is on the floor, with smelling on top of him. I have never seen a penalty given against him, so I presume he has special dispensation. It is good defending, zero chance of his man having an impact on the game, he has worked hard at this manoeuvre and seems to have it perfected.
Should be on you tube " defending corners" a masterclass.

He's trying to create the position of holding defender.

There was a much better debate around 7:30pm about VAR, as opposed to our game when there was no VAR.

Sam Matterface said by far the most controversial VAR decision of the weekend was the reversal of Lindelof's red card.

I think he made the point that the referee making the decision was Chris Kavanagh from Manchester. He said it wasn't a clear and obvious mistake so shouldn't have been reviewed. He said it was a matter of opinion whether it should have been a red card, so the opinions of the referee and lineman were more valid than the video referee, because they were very close to the action and could judge it within the context of the game. He gave his own opinion that it was reckless, unnecessarily forceful, and worthy of a red card.

He also made the point that it has gone entirely unnoticed because of the Swansea decisions. I agree with everything he said.

I would add, why was Smalling not penalised for his first half foul at a Wolves corner, where he wrestled a Wolves player to the ground? Why was this not corrected by VAR? There was a directive a couple of years ago to clamp down on fouling at corners. I think Sterling was one of the first to be penalised under the new interpretation. I don't think Smalling was ever penalised for holding even though he is by far the worst offender. I don't recall this interpretation ever being rescinded, but it is certainly not used anymore.

I had the misfortune to hear thirty seconds of his show and it was about Bolton and in White's own words

"I contacted the Bolton Chairman to ask if he would give me a statement I could relay to the Bolton supporters, but he refused"

There are some nobhead presenters on that station, but Jim White seems like a right nasty **** to me. He would rat his own family out to get a story.

He also said that he got his Liverpool replica number 7 shirt signed by Kenny Dalglish, shows where his loyalties lie.
