VAR

I wonder how Penalty FC will fair against SAVAR, today?

They didn't intervene. Free kick was already given. Checked for serious foul play most likely but can't suggest yellow, which incidentally he didn't get for that challenge. It was the one after.

I was of the belief the ref let play continue and that the only reason he stopped playing was for the head injury protocols when the forest player kept rolling around holding his head. We had the ball playing it across the back for a good few seconds before he stopped play. Then gave the free after. Moyes looked mystified over the decision aswel

Just my interpretation of it. If VAR gave it then they shouldn't have

The free kick wasnt given at all. There was no advantage to them cause we had the ball, so why take so long to blow the whistle? It seemed like forever, id reckon at least 5-7 seconds after contact was made that the whistle was blown

Regardless of who didn't or did do what... We won, we also didn't fluke it. We outplayed the third in the league for 70 mins (not conclusively) but we looked the better team for most of it. AWAY!! Cheers Dave, another saved weekend.... I do not mind this

Wasn't it ? Pretty sure it was a free kick. Anyway, I don't really care that much.

There has been no word in the press, motd or anywhere really of what it looked to me a clear penalty on alcaraz which is surprising. Looked to me a stonewall penalty. Not sure it was even checked by var. He is taking out by the defender who misses the ball completely. I know the one on beto you could argue starts outside the box really.

Indeed. I'm amazed that wasn't a penalty. In a world where the Polish goalkeeper, falling backwards to reach a high ball, brushed Lionel Mess's head with his fingers and was penalised for a spot kick at the World Cup, how on earth was that not a penalty yesterday?

So according to hacket, former referee, there wasn't enough contact from Yates to alcaraz...it was alcaraz momentum that went against yates. Pure and simple incompetence...Yates went for the ball, which he missed whereas alcaraz made contact with the ball...penalty for me all day long

when is a follow through not a (dangerous) follow through..?

A follow through is against Everton, and a dangerous follow through is call a Tarkowski.

Obviously nearly taking his head off is not enough contact or intent.

Howard Webb trying to sanctify the RS winning this tinpot sham of a league I see.

The Coote protocol is still in play.

I noticed he has said the tarkowski clearance when Mac ALlister jumped in thew way of his follow through, should have been a red. Are they retrospectively looking at Virgil van Bader's assault on Onana way after Onana passed the ball away too? No??

Another one for the list…. Chelsea keeper challenge on Myko.
Hackett said: “The challenge by the goalkeeper is a clear reckless challenge and should have resulted in a penalty kick and yellow card.

“It amazes me that there is no intervention from VAR, who should have determined that the referee taking no action is a clear and obvious error. Poor officiating.”

I thought that this was very similar to the Tarkowski challenge. The only difference is the reactions of the players.
The keeper made good contact with the ball, but was not in control of the follow through. I personally think there was nothing wrong with it at all, much less a free kick to the goal keeper. But, to spend so much time analysing the Tarkowski challenge, yet let this pass is an example of the bias that is present in the media.

Is denying a goal scoring opportunity not a thing anymore ? Pathetic decision.
