We can pretend though for the sake of clownish arguments.

I don’t disagree with dod but when you ref sometimes you can look inconsistent because not only do you follow the laws but also you ref to the atmosphere of the game and the time during the match and blah blah blah

Do we know if Michael Oliver even saw the sarcastic applause from Nunez? It was directed at the assistant rather than him.

To be honest, I’d much prefer refs who take things like the atmosphere of the game into account when making decisions, rather than ones who robotically reach for the yellow card every time in the name of consistency. And no, this is not the same as saying referees should just do whatever the home fans want them to do etc

one of the officials will have and they talk

also sarcastically clapping the assistant ref is still a yellow card

100% it is & he could easily have gone as well.
Quite plausible that the assistant was happy to turn a blind eye though given he got a booking anyway, who knows.

For all the cries of "consistency" it's quite frankly impossible. No 2 incidents are ever exactly the same & no 2 human beings react & interpret subjective incidents in exactly the same way. This is also why VAR could never work in the way they want it to.

Yep no question that for subjective decisions at the discretion of the official there will be inconsistencies
You’d hope within a league or level of referees that there would be consistent inconsistencies but thats the rub

Steve Cooper finally sacked by Forest. Not saying he should have been but they've been itching to do it for about a year now. Nuno not exactly an inspiring choice to replace him if I were a Forest fan.

He's a victim of his own success at Forest in that he got them promoted so soon after becoming their manager.

I don't know what goes on at forest and who runs what , they've spent 300 million in 3 windows and are not improving .
Does Cooper pick who is signed ? Or is he strictly a coach , I'd say if he's the latter then the wrong person has been sacked , if he makes the signings then I'd say the right person has been sacked

It's the latter, he's just a coach. I'm pretty sure the recruitment team were sacked last season when it wasn't going well after spaffing £150m on a whole new squad.

I bet the Sunderland board are kicking themselves, would have appointed him if available instead of Beale.

I mean, are we really surprised... Outside of Liverpool (where he is some kind of hero), the guy is just a bellend.

Brighton fucked around at the back and found out. Nice play from Palace to score though, lovely reverse pass from Hughes.

VAR again being “very thorough” as the commentator says. Fucking hell it deflected off the defender’s face onto his arm, no handball, move on. Why take a minute to decide.

Really good goal.

Doesn’t look like the kebabs and shots have slowed Hamer down!
