If that's a penalty we should have had about 12 this season.

One rule for us, one rule for 'them'.
It's been said many times, the one thing refereeing needs is consistency

Forests Yates has just scored a funny back pass own goal, passing it back to the keeper without looking, nowhere near the keeper goes in bottom corner

...oh and correctly interpreting the rules

And another one on Sterling

We are going to see ourselves drop rapidly after these two days - feeling robbed

Tbf it's very easy to say and much harder to do as there is far too much subjectivety. It's always going to be the hardest thing in football to get right.

Like for me, I've done refereeing and I didn't think Southampton's penalty was a penalty yesterday. The guy has gone shoulder to shoulder both are completely off balance and then the defender takes him out whilst falling over from that contact. Clearly VAR thinks it's a penalty and the ref on the field then agreed but you'll see them now given too. Don't see what the solution is.

If you start going for letter of the law decisions to try and get greater consistency, you'll then go too far and end up with such a stop start game.

I'm not saying refereeing has been good by the way. I agre the inconsistency has been appalling all season, but I think technology is making it worse rather than better at the moment.

Sunderland dived for a pen too

Godden is like Jesus, suspended for everyone else’s diving sins. Better hair though.

I think it should be left for teams to be able to challenge decisions as is done in cricket, where for offsides any error needs to be outside the margins offered by the technology.

Restrict it to offside goals, red cards and penalties. You get 3 reviews and lose one each time it’s wrong

Sunderland look really good. If we were to play them now they would give us a good game.

Robbings out

Doncaster are one of the worst sides in that league. The gap between the leagues shouldn’t be underestimated, Sunderland would probably fare like Hull if they come up

Sorry, just to clarify is that just for the application of VAR? As in it would only be used if a team used one of the reviews?

Yes

 

[skybluegod]

Yes

Interesting, biggest thing I would say against it is are there ever really more than 3 moments in a match that each team would want to appeal? Can't imagine you would often have 3+ if just for goals, red cards, pens is the only thing.

But it's got its merits too for sure.

The number’s up for debate. But I do like the idea of it being in the hands of teams when to review a decision
