I hear people suggesting challenge type systems for football, yet I don't believe it would work or would benefit the game positively. I suspect teams would abuse it, especially late in the game if they still had their allowed reviews available to gain an advantage, slow down a game and it would...

Would love to know what guidelines actually constitute "clear and obvious", seriously FFS, that is about as clear and obvious a foul as you are likely to see! :mad:

Ok, I'll go there .. Awful "challenge" by Jackson, who yet again with baffles with a mixed bag of sublime & pub league player. Cucurella must have the brains of a rocking horse, hanging onto the ball to protest a decision minutes after getting let off with a lecture for giving the AR an earful!

Nothing surprises me anymore, the FA Cup has lost a bit of spark and it starts at the top. The FA and the media have been watering down the world's oldest cup competition for years. Started with doing away with replays of the final, then semi finals, moving the traditional 3pm kick off time of...

It was reported in the aftermath and Hawkeye's statement and apology on why their cameras failed to pick it up. A PGMOL statement read: “Under IFAB protocol, the VAR is able to check goal situations, however due to the fact that the on-field match officials did not receive a signal, and the...

Chesterfield Vs Middlesbrough 1997 FA Cup semi final a notable absenty from that list! One thing that always baffled me about the Watford Vs Reading ghost goal was it was a Reading goal awarded and yet it's a Reading player who was the one stopping the ball from going out of play, so what on...

Offside by a toe! :eek:

I have been saying it for several years. He's not the only one, but he is certainly the worst offender.

The main talking point from the game seems to be the protracted arguments between Chelsea players over who would take Chelsea's penalty with the score already at 4-0...:confused: 2 challenges in the box, Palmer caught from behind, play continues until Madueke is clattered by Tarkowski on the...

More blatant "simulation" has gone unpunished this season. I sense the overturned Bournemouth penalty is one they will argue the foul continued into the area, whereas United will say it was definitely outside and the attacker fell into the defender after the initial contact.

Thoughts on the United penalty for "handball"? Granted I am slightly biased as I moved to Bournemouth 17 years ago and have developed a soft spot for my adopted home town team, especially having worked on the design team for their new training ground, but looks harsh to me, very high on the...

Just seen this for the first time on TT, utterly ridiculous. Absolutely no reason why the Arsenal defender should be handling that ball. The law regarding the ball leaving the area was changed to supposedly speed the game up, not to allow teams to weaponise it, with players saying after you, no...

There was me thinking I was alone. Watched the first half of City Vs Arsenal and immediately thought had Taylor been refereeing Burney Vs Brentford in a Saturday 3pm game, he would have had no hesitation in pulling out cards for identical challenges/incidents he chose not to card in the Man City...

I have no issues with the 2nd penalty, although we have seen similar challenges not given or reviewed this season.

For the neutral, one of the games of the season, it had absolutely everything including a late 2nd yellow/red for Anthony Gordon for kicking the ball away. Any thoughts on West Ham's 2nd goal. Newcastle player down with what they claim was a facial injury, but West Ham were allowed to take a...
