I didn’t celebrate Simms’ 2nd until I saw the replay and was certain there was nothing wrong
Nope.
Just make it so it is clear and obvious. Not clear and obvious, go with the on-field decision.
They are making it so much more complicated than it ever needs to be.
That 5 mins today was ridiculous.
Give it 20 seconds. Can't see anything obviously wrong with the refs decision, go with that.
That today was nothing to do with a "dodgy ref."
Thing that gets me is this:
It's meant to be video 'assistant' referee, not video referee. If you think you've seen something that is an error by the match officials, by all means get them to look at replays on a pitchside monitor themselves, but let them make the final decision. Because whenever the referee is sent to the monitor now it's to reverse his original decision, like the nonsense that led to Dominic Calvert-Lewin being sent off against Palace with the ref clearly not agreeing with VAR.
