Don't think they outranked him though anyway. Isn't the VAR officials job to relay to the ref that he may wish to take a closer look at things? The ref could still have not given the pen today. And if anyone says that is not realistic because of the pressure from the video refs, then we might...

Yeah, I may be wrong, but do think there are other clubs in Lancashire. Top of my head, what about Chorley?

Yup. He has to be bigger than that surely. Otherwise what's the point of a 23 man squad?

It is. I have been calling for clarification for sometime. The ones that are given when a ball is blasted at a player are quite ludicrous on occasion.

Hmm, I just saw it that the ref didn't see it properly. Simple as that.

We have just been talking about overreaction on social media of stuff on the Maddison thread and here we go again here. Someone on the BBC sports text has said that, that pen in the Denmark /Australia game was the softest penalty in footballing history. Seriously? People seriously need to get...

Hmm....I thought we were all calling for penalty against Stead after the game when we saw the replay and highlights. I am very much in the camp of it having to be deliberate, but can see why that one today was given and though it was harsh, I don't see it as an outrage or that controversial to...

Just the back of his head?

Why were we all calling for a pen in the home leg of the play-off against Notts County when the ball hit Stead's arm in the penalty area?

Second paragraph.

Yeah, there is the myth right there. It is not just about being deliberate. An arm being in an unnatural position is also a factor.

Fans is stupid! Based on that one, single Champions League game, some Liverpool fans were saying that the keeper, Karius, should never ever play for the club again. The overreaction to things these days in general is ridiculous to say the least.

Needs better consistency.

The Kane one however was just bad refereeing. I think the ref today just didn't see this one properly. Once he saw the replay his decision was almost instant.

Yeah. Maybe in the cigarette socket and using it while I was driving was not my finest hour.

Think this one does make sense and you can see from the replay the ref is not in the best position to see it originally. I sort of don't see that as being that controversial here. Very unfortunate , but can see why it was given and can see why the ref needed the replay

Hmm, my views are well known on deliberate and accidental handball situations, but the thing there was his arm was up and it did totally effect the ball travelling towards goal. Can fully see why the ref gave it. What was daft however was the yellow card. How can that be seen as being deliberate?

Yeah, been meaning to spring clean that and remove stuff for ages. I mean, just how much lippy does one bloke actally need?

Ooh, it's just like Twitter!!

Cos they haven't seen it in here yet. As soon as they browse SBT it will then be on the CT site shortly afterwards.
