Guess what sanction Pawson thought this deserved when looking straight at it :

Same ref who didnt give the Rodri handball as VAR official. https://princerupertstower.com/2022/02/27/premier-league-everton-penalty/

The Premier League’s head of refereeing, Mike Riley, said the decision to change the guidance on penalties followed conversations with top‑flight clubs and players, all of whom wanted spot-kicks awarded only for “proper fouls”. It also comes after a record 125 penalties were awarded in the top...

Yeah it is just a 1 game ban for the red yesterday. 2 yellows in the same game to make a red don't count towards the totting up process for accumulation of yellows over a season so for that he is still on 4 yellows. So will probably come back in game after next and make a stupid foul and get...

I just watched that vid and as i expected, they don't show the whole incident. The clipped version makes it look a terrible decision. However, the whole story is that the ref awarded City a free kick, 10 seconds or so went by which allowed the teams to get back into shape, That wouldn;t have...

I'm 90% certain that the second line was to keep Young 1 metre away from the Sheffield United wall.

Every year someone goes to the trouble of mocking up the whole fixture list and its always awrong so don't believe anything till at least 8am tomorrow people ;)

Yeah i believe players have been caught doing this before and whilst there is no specific mention of it in the laws its generally accepted to fall under "Unsporting behavior" : From law 1 : the field of play "A player who makes unauthorised marks on the field of play must be cautioned for...

But the Spanish and Italian leagues are openly corrupt so how come they don't use VAR for the same corrupt reasons as the Prem?

Loads. Generally during the week i'll get about 8-9 if i can. Some days less (less than 6) some days more (12-14), all depends on how tired i am and how i slept the day before. But weekends easily more. Sat night about 11-12ish (depending on if i have to get up on Sunday morning), if not ill...

Yeah he didn't award the goal, he made the "just wait a minute" gesture with his left arm, next thing we saw was it being reviewed. And i reckon that will be the get out used by PGMOL/Dermot Gallagher, that the onfield ref disallowed it for handball and their wasnt enough evidence that he made a...

It's one of those where they don't officiate in strict adherence to the law as its written (the game would be completely different if it was). It's now more common sense refereeing (that loads of people seem to want). The law has to exist, players should be 10 yards aways until the ball is...

Absolutely spot on. You know that other goalkeeper cliche "keepers get better with age"? Thats because their position becomes second nature, being in the right position and having the correct body shape is a huge part of being a good keeper but it comes with years and years of practice...

Yeah, it's one of those things people hear so repeat for themselves without understanding that its not as straight forward as it sounds. It applies when the ball is at a tight angle close to the goal line and the keeper is within touching distance of his "near post", you can block off the whole...

I'm by no means a legal expert but i believe that it is also illegal to watch broadcasts that you aren't legally allowed to watch via a legal subscription. I've always assumed that Sky/BT/Amazon have it written into their contracts with the Premier League that within the UK the only way to...

Ignore the idiot commentators, VAR 100% absolutely can review a potential foul and denial of a goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO) cause it's a red card incident if given. If the ref misses it, they review under "missed incident", if the ref says no foul (as he did) they review under "clear and...

Yeah it's given offside against the corner taker, after the Wolves number 11 heads the ball (backwards or forwards, it doesnt matter what direction the ball goes in) the corner taker is deemed to be offside. It's common that corner takers often fail to get back onside in time when the ball comes...

If you look closely the blue line is Van dijk's foot and the red line has those little dots going up to Mee's shoulder which is just offside.

Deliberate handball isn't an automatic yellow card though, only in certain circumstances like attempting to score a goal or stopping a promising attack. Messi did neither so I think the ref was right not to book him to be fair.
