Odd, VAR didn’t recommend a review, almost identical to Konate’s challenge in Liverpool/Leeds match.

Mike Dean’s view 100% a penalty!
 
lots of decisions in the match looked dodgy at first glance but were shown to be the correct call on the replay. the chalobah one wasnt the right call in my opinion but the ref had a good game I thought
 
Not to mention the handball too. Not sure how much further away from the body a hand could possibly be.

Baffled that wasn't given.
 
Just a thought, if the panel vote 3-2 that the VAR should have recommended a review then it isn’t a clear & obvious error.

To be deemed a VAR non-intervention error should the bar be 5-0 or 4-1?


BTW, thought the this one would be 5-0, shows what I know!

‘The panel also voted the VAR Peter Bankes was correct not to advise that Newcastle should be given a spot-kick in their match against Chelsea on 20 December.

Head coach Eddie Howe said the Magpies were refused a "stonewall" penalty when Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah barged Anthony Gordon to the ground.’
 
Fine with people taking different interpretations on the VAR threshold, but slightly concerning that 2 out of 5 on the panel thought it wasn’t even a foul.
 
What actual good does the KMI panel achieve? Just headlines that in the opinion of five anonymous people, a subjective decision/error was made, why does their opinion have any more bearing than mine or the bloke down the pub?

The specialist skills of the panel can be used to advise & assist PGMO in future decision making, but I do have a beef with the five person panel can’t agree amongst themselves that it is an error but still it is recorded as a ‘categorical error’.

3-2 referee error, 3-2 VAR was correct not to recommend review

3-2 Referee error, 3-2 VAR error

Very little, it is just to appease the public. I don't see their decisions with any credibility when they have zero qualifications in the LoTG.
 
Narrator: It did not make it onto the Mic'd up show.

There would have been more value in seeing this incident discussed than a couple of the selected incidents.

Would be better if they do the review show in such a way that they can show more incidents? We really don't need on every show Owen explaining who is speaking and when the ref is speaking, we also don't fully need Owen faffing around on the touchscreen either.

I think we do need that, or I think the wider football public would misinterpret things. Also, there could be a good reason why any individual clip can't be used. These officials could very easily say something unprofessional in the moment or not strictly correct in law... then that audio can't be put out to the public because PGMO wouldn't live it down.

The Scottish show does this and it works great.
There's probably some Scottish fans asking for a longer explanation though!
