Another replay from a different angle shows Robertson briefly holding the goalkeeper and releasing a second or two before the ball crosses the line.

They showed another angle (only 2 angles were available) where Ferguson raked his foot down Kiwior's Achilles (Ferguson was not looking at Kiwior at all however). You can clearly see from the replay his boot comes off, surprised VAR didn't look into it as a football boot doesn't just come off by...

Thought this analysis explained both sides pretty well:

Is it any different from various senior referees in this thread calling out the OP as a fan?

The Saka advantage is hilarious. Road traffic directing. Something very wrong with that Lyanco lad, hitting Jesus earlier in the match a couple of times too.

I do not understand how bear hugging an opponent with both arms around them for more than 2 seconds at a time has no material impact? This happened multiple times throughout the game and progressively became worse as the ref allowed it. My point here is, yes the ref is being consistent with his...

Thanks, I’ve seen Dale’s content before, he’s very good. Not directed at you, a question for everyone. What happens if the shirt sleeves are extended a few inches? Is that against the rules somewhere?

Can’t find anything on that, can you share a source please?

Another twist…:

VAR response:

Not understanding that decision at all. It was a big massive call though, which would have impacted both the bottom and top of the table.

Yes, it was a bit odd but in general, added time is not an exact science. 6 mins is bordering on the high end of what is considered "standard" time wasting. If there was a big injury, then I could see this pushed more. Anyhow, the players will push the limit if the ref allows. The reverse...
