Never a penalty, a baffling decision to be honest. I know Taylor is highly rated and well used by UEFA for European games but he does seem to have quite a few calls overturned via VAR intervention.

Red for me also.

Understand what you're saying. I don't think VAR helps the situation when the replays are massively slowed down. As we know, football is a game that is played at a fast pace, not a super slow one! So such replays perhaps have the effect of making incidents look a lot worse than they are. Got to...

The amount of times they mention the word "intent" when discussing possible yellow and red card challenges is embarrassing.

I guess the clear and obvious error point is a fair one but that threshold doesn't really seem to apply anymore. Plenty of highly interpretative and 50/50 calls have been overturned with the assistance of VAR in the past. As for this incident, I just thought with how high he was on the leg and...

Has anybody seen the Balbuena sending off? A lot of people are moaning about it but I thought the Ref had no choice once the VAR sent him to the screen. For me, it had to be a Red once the Ref had seen the replays.

Has to be a DFK and a Caution, surely? Imagine a player not getting booked for doing this, it would rightly cause an uproar. Throwing an item onto the FOP should always be considered at least reckless and if thrown with enough force, violent conduct. You can't justify the act as being...

Easier to blame the Ref than to reflect on their own shortcomings as a player. It's water off a duck's back for me a lot of the time but don't let them ever get abusive/personal with you, at that point use your cards and make sure you report anything post-game that meets this threshold. There's...

Very surprised to hear that a league doesn't mandate team sheets. I'm terms of the situation you describe, I'd have noted down the second name he gave and filled out a misconduct report on the WGS detailing that he tried to give me another name previously and explaining the circumstances around...

Tried again and it worked! Strange one really as it was allowing me to submit my cautions/reds, just not the misconduct part. All sorted now though.

Amazed that Taylor wasn't asked to go to the monitor and review it, clear penalty for me and arguably a yellow card too.

Has anybody tried to submit a misconduct report on the WGS recently? It keeps crashing when I attempt to submit it. Will have a go later but I'm just wondering if anybody else is having issues too?

1) No handball - arms are in an unnatural position but the ball doesn't actually strike them for me, hits just below. 2) Definite foul with a barge in the back like that.

It's farcical at this point, I have no idea how anybody can claim that was offside. The current system seems to be open to all sorts of human error considering the fact that the lines are manually drawn onto the players. Not to mention which frame is used as it doesn't seem accurate enough to...

Makes you sick watching it as a fan, it's killing the game to be honest.
