The only woman I know who's got cornettos for fingers.

You can just imagine her in the pub. Loud, gobby and miserable as fuck.

I don't think it was soft at all, it's ridiculous the amount of grabbing, pulling and holding that's crept into the game in recent years, would only take a couple of penalties awarded to nip it in the bud, all of that said never would I have imagined that given at the swamp.

It wasn't given, Until VAR intervened.

Alistair Mann and Andy Morrison were saying it was in treble figures on the highlights on the OS, didn't we score one against them lot before and there was a benny hill highlights roll of it with so many passes

3.1 a few seasons ago (2018?)

Our first penalty at the swamp for 31 years.

No, I understand that it's a mitigating factor, but the prevailing narrative is "why doesn't VAR get involved all the time" and the reason why it doesn't or didn't get involved elsewhere - ie with Maguire on Haaland - is because the referee "saw" it and didn't give it in real time. VAR only intervenes if the ref has missed something.

That's not in the protocol. Referees "see" stuff all the time but it isn't what happened. That's when VAR should intervene.

And how much would have it been like City to miss it? :-)

 

[BringBackSwales]

yes

Good man, good kid. I wonder how many were doing that in total (despite the fact you just can’t get tickets for the rags!)

 

[BringBackSwales]

This is why Tent Peg will be gone soon, he's lost the plot, United fans I know are raging about this, they were at home in the Derby, as good as we were they were shocking it was just their general attitude

Of course I am happy at beating them but it's more fun knocking them off their perch when they think they have turned a corner, it looks to me that they fell off the perch a long time ago

Let’s not forget at the end of last season, and therefore the start of this, the rags and their media were proclaiming ten bob as the new messiah who was going to knock Pep off his perch, after their (home) league cup win and 4th place finish. Pep must have been shitting it

Has anyone found out how many touches Invisible Mount had yesterday yet?

When will VAR be used in Premier League matches?​

The VAR is constantly monitoring the match.

VAR is used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.

But factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the "clear and obvious" test.

If the VAR sees an error has been made in such a situation they will intervene, regardless of how marginal the decision is.

There is a high bar for the VARs to intervene on subjective decisions, to maintain the pace and intensity of matches.
