Mentioned this on another thread a while ago. This has become pretty much a non-thing within reason. Speaking to a few premier league referees, this was exactly how it was for the first 6 weeks of VAR - hence no involvements for the first 6 weeks. After this they were getting a lot of pressure...

Exactly. I actual think most issues are completely over analysed by pundits who often don't understand the laws of the game. There have been some like the Diaz offside against spurs which were howlers, with fundamental flaws. But things like this are just pundits creating headlines. Fucking Mike...

I have no idea on this one myself. Like you I have a hunch that it would be drop ball to the keeper, be interested if it was something else? Although was the referees positioning off as I have no idea how he's in the line of a shot?

I will add however, using the arguement of 'he made the same mistake for forest earlier in the game' doesn't fly for me. It's why I hate the argument for consistency of decisions. Making a constantly wrong decision doesn't make it better. If he makes a mistake it shouldn't justified by saying...

100% sorry poor wording by me. I meant in the sense, you work as a team at that level, so he would have to advise very quickly over Comms which is very unlikely. But yeah totally right.

Did he see it? Or was he busy? The 4th official is probably the busiest of the 4 (if used correctly which may not be the case) I don't know, I'm not him, but it take an exceptional official to overrule the referee from the touchline as very easy to be distracted.

Because they would be officiating from St George's park.... People can't complain that VAR doesn't work and then ask it get involved with such menial decisions, it's a human game, errors happen. People are searching for perfect officiating, it's not possible.

Await details from the club.

Who knows either way. The goal was 2 minutes later with about 4 phases of play in between that. It was a mistake by Tierney no doubt. But that's refereeing. Just like players they will make mistakes, very annoying for forest of course.

Exactly. If this was the case then the old guard would be getting minutes as the only ones who are clearly trying.

Saddle I think you are a pretty reliable contact but there must be a lot more info behind this. (Unless you contact is robins himself) if Robins wants him to stay, and King is outright refusing to listen then MR is surely going to walk soon. From what we know of MR he isn't going to let Robins...

His or Robins choice?

That wasn't a foul on Simms tbf... He lost control of the ball and knew it and went down soft...

Saka and sheaf were the two I was saying. Clearly Robins thinks the other 3 are better options for this game. They are available and part of the team. There isn't a midfielder in the back 3. He's a CB.

We are only missing two players to injury in that line up... I would argue that we probably don't have a top 6 side in general then if you believe that.

It's alright last time the forum did this, we drew away at Leeds.

Vindicated at least!

They have still produced the talents. Why does it matter if it's 2/3 years compared to 6/7? It's fantastic for the country more than anything that young British players are getting opportunities at such a big club. And the academy is rightly getting plaudits for providing the players (again even...

Talking about the ref in particular having a poor game. The game itself was good agreed!

Was a poor game and from my brief encounters with Jarred he will be disappointed at certain calls (especially the handball). But he's actually a good referee. And believe he's under quite big consideration for the Final.
