The screen is not visible all around the stadium. BBC Sport has acknowledged this in a follow up article, along with the context of the incident in the reverse fixture. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cwy8njdrg7xo Yes Leeds players went for a chat too but they had already started...

But there was a team talk going on throughout and the people I have spoken to have told me it was about that, appearing to take advantage of the stoppage. On TV Peter Bankes was showing two fingers in a way that would not have been visible to spectators. Were there any stadium announcements...

Totally agree about Farke, I don't think an appeal is going to get anywhere. I have since spoken with people who were at the game, and in their view the boos were mainly about the team talk. In the reverse fixture this season Donnarumma went down 'injured' to allow Guardiola to speak to his...

A few talking points coming out of this one. Cherki stamp on Gruev when play was stopped with no sanction given. I can just about understand VAR not intervening but think Cherki is lucky to not have been binned. Farke sent off at full time for confronting the officials (I am guessing about the...

Excessive force is not a requirement for SFP when the opponent's safety is endangered.

No subscription fee is a benefit (compared to RefSix Pro at least).

You seem to have overlooked an obvious cut in the footage between those two statements. The 'end of' is clearly addressed to the player.

Peter Bankes is on the new episode of Mic'd Up discussing the incident, he is still happy with his decision.

Not correctly taken in law as not thrown 'from the point where it left the field of play'. However the same probably applies to 99.9% of throw-ins, unless we have more refs than I imagine who insist on the thrower being at the exact blade of grass where the ball left.

Even when there is not a feint after the run up is completed, if the ball is not kicked a caution can still be issued for delaying the restart. As others have said, the restart is not changed and the penalty kick can be taken.

I think it's a legitimate interpretation that this is making the body unnaturally bigger or that the player has deliberately spread themselves out as much as possible including the arm position. It's just the Premier League that has set an expectation of a higher threshold including ignoring any...

And if there had been no rain or light rain, but the match had been postponed early due to an incorrect weather forecast, I'm sure everyone would have been fine with it :rolleyes:

We have very little context here. If it was deliberate non-reporting then it was not an 'honest mistake' and unless there was some other mitigation than it being a first offence I can well understand why a commission would go for the top end sanction.

Clip starts 0:50 To my eye this looks like a missed offside offence, interesting one to watch due to the nature of offence and player movement. I wonder if anything was discussed over comms. The commentators take no notice.

I'm still curious whether the VAR protocol actually allows for downgraded DOGSO cautions following advantage to be upgraded to a sending off. Dale Johnson claims advantage was awarded on field. I think in this scenario if there is not a goal/no-goal decision, and Pawson decides not go back to...

The restart has to be a penalty kick because by the time play is stopped the holding has continued into the penalty area. My view is that to penalise DOGSO from a holding offence there only needs to be an OGSO at any moment during the holding, not necessarily at the time play is stopped...

If a referee awards advantage following a DOGSO foul is that really reviewable? Where is the clear and obvious error to justify VAR intervention? In this case of course the goal is reviewable but I am not sure Szoboszlai's foul is if advantage was awarded on field. A DOGSO foul where advantage...

Yes it is as @Hilly1618 says. There was no offence here.

Law 14 If, before the ball is in play, one of the following occurs: ... a team-mate of the goalkeeper offends: if the ball enters the goal, a goal is awarded if the ball does not enter the goal, the kick is retaken 'Verbally distracting an opponent during play or at a restart' is a...

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.
