And my point has been entirely vindicated. There was doubt and so your binary view of this incident was wrong
Not that I've got much respect for Dermot Gallagher and the embarrassment of his RefWatch stint, but he categorically dismissed DOGSO on the basis that the GK was close enough to challenge for the ball and that the covering defender ultimately got back to cover the goal line
Thankfully, you weren't observing me, otherwise you'd have finished my season because your view of this incident was binary and mine was not. It's not Dermot's opinion that interests me as such, it's the wrongness associated with the whole incident which gets me
a) The cheating, b) The Ref being duped c) The dismissal which I think was supportable, but I would have gone yellow d) The impact on the season outcome e) The necessity for the scourge of VAR f) The fact that VAR may not have fixed the wrong decision(s) g) The binary view held by Observers on the Forum, so strongly held, it could have finished a Referee's season
None of it is good; except my pointing out that it was not a binary DOGSO - Doubt which can't be doubted given the red card has now been rejected by an ex-EPL R, albeit one I've no time for
