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/

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'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 ;)

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?

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...

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...

Actually clear and obvious does apply to offsides, just they choose not to apply it to offsides. Which personally i think is the right way of doing it, if you're offside you're offside. Otherwise it just shows clear obvious up for the bollocks that it is when 1 week a VAR ref will give an...

Nah, i just watched it again and he does pick it up inside the area then the whistle goes.

He's actually not. If you look at the pic in the first post he's about 2 yards deeper than he should be. He should be in line with the last Palace defender so cannot actually make a proper decision. So he was in the wrong position and then gave a wrong decision, as well as being wrong about...

Except the referee was correct in law with both drop ball restarts after injuries. Not "an absolute abomination.", or "elbow headed clown", or "ludicrous drop ball situations", or "beyond logic and impartial officiating". Won't argue with the other points cause they're opinions but it makes...

And at half time as well which doesn't count as one of the 3 windows.

Yeah it's 5 cautions in the first 19 games which brings a 1 game ban. Our 20th game is 21st Jan at West Ham so he needs to go until then without getting another booking. But considering he has 4 bookings in 7 games i'd say thats unlikely!

I think Gordon thought that Patterson was gonna come out and they would then double up on Cresswell, but when he didn't to be fair to Gordon he wasn't being lazy, just a communication/position issue, once he realized what was happening he busted his to get back and block the cross.

Yeah he was Gordons man all day long but Gordon had just gone too narrow as Rice advanced with the ball. As soon as Rice played it out to Cresswell the winger goes out there to close him down, way too far for the right back to go out. If he did that would have forced one of the 2 centre backs...

FIFA issued a circular back in July attempting to clarify the difference between "deliberate play" and "deflection" : https://downloads.theifab.com/downloads/circular-26-new?l=en If you click the link at the bottom of that it gives video examples of both, the one closest to what happened with...

This probably wont go down well but here goes : The vast majority of times in that situation the ball will stay in play so the ref and lino took up positions according : the ref in the center circle and the lino level with the last defender just outside our area. Obviously one unexpected...

I don't really see what's mysterious about that booking. Arsenal get a free kick, last 10 mins of a game they're winning, Xhaka does that "goes to take it, hesitates, goes to take it again, gesticulates at his teammates" thing that most players do in that position, trying to waste time and get...
