I don't agree, i'm afraid. This is the very top level. They should be getting those type of decisions correct"Howler" is a massive overreaction for a missed advantage, think we need to avoid buying into that kind of hyperbole.

They’ve showed the replay on Sky. The advantage is clear and he only blows when Grealish receives the ball. If he has any defence at all and I don’t think he has, it’s that he thought Grealish was offside.There's no chance he's blowing for offside. None. He's messed up the advantage. Simple.
He has to own the errorThey’ve showed the replay on Sky. The advantage is clear and he only blows when Grealish receives the ball. If he has any defence at all and I don’t think he has, it’s that he thought Grealish was offside.
i'm not sure that's much of a defence. The AR kept his flag downThey’ve showed the replay on Sky. The advantage is clear and he only blows when Grealish receives the ball. If he has any defence at all and I don’t think he has, it’s that he thought Grealish was offside.
That'd be an answer to the question we've been dealing with on here all weekIf I had to guess, I'd say he thinks it's going to be a second yellow card for Emerson, hence he stops play to give the 2nd yellow and then red. But then after he blows the whistle, he realises that Emerson isn't on a yellow- so its just a regular caution (and he shouldn't have stopped it). That would explain the big pause before the whistle, but also the look of regret.
Hmmmm...Possibe, but then blow straight away and stop the gameIf I had to guess, I'd say he thinks it's going to be a second yellow card for Emerson, hence he stops play to give the 2nd yellow and then red.

Come on now. It's just a mistake. Call it what it is.If I had to guess, I'd say he thinks it's going to be a second yellow card for Emerson, hence he stops play to give the 2nd yellow and then red.

Yep, it wasNot sure that's when the ball is played though?
Ditto, blatantly obvious mistake from Haaland in the first half when he missed target from 10 yards, with goal gaping.It is getting beyond ridiculous now. It has become fashionable and normalised to hate referees.
Blatantly obvious mistake - it happens. People really need to get a grip of themselves.
You can’t use that as an excuse for what the ref did. It feels like we’ve got to a position where refs can’t call out fellow refs when they’ve made shocking decisions. What if some of them just aren’t good enough for that level. We seem happy enough to say certain players aren’t at that level. It’s a shocking decision at that level.Ditto, blatantly obvious mistake from Haaland in the first half when he missed target from 10 yards, with goal gaping.
