Personally I think it was a stupid attempt to head the ball, rather than a serious attempt to foul the other player, however the result would be the same - "Take an early bath, son"

LMAO I wish. I only knew about the monitors not being used because I heard an interview that Mike Riley gave back last summer where he said that PGMO would be using VAR differently and specifically mentioned the lack of monitor use. At that point I had no idea whether they would be physically...

It isn't just getting rings caught. If a player suffers a finger injury the ring acts as a tourniquet which can dramaticaly worsen an injury. See what happens to a broken finge when wearing a ring. I have seen what can happen to players where jewellery affects or causes an injury so won't...

Which begs the question how has he managed to get to the semi-final without removing the ring? Last week's ref :(

Whether the monitors are there or not is irrelevant. (I haven't seen one at the London Stadium), the point is the same as was intended originally. I said that PGMOL wouldn't be using monitors and got slated for it yet what is the situation? PGMOL aren't using monitors, the VAR's decision is...

Nope I said that PGMOL would not use OFR, whether it was there or not.

Back in June I was slated when I said that the EPL would not be using pitchside monitors. https://www.refchat.co.uk/threads/england-v-cameroon-wwc.14001/page-4 I must admit that I would love to have been proven wrong because the way VAR has been implemented by PGMOL is an absolute joke.

There may be no latitude for VC but there is latitude for how you present it. I have sent an under 10 player off for DOGSO, but rather than just brandishing the RC I gently walked with him over to his manager and explained that I had no option but to send him off however I was not going to...

I am just going by what I have heard and read. I hope that I am wrong, but I wouldn't bet against PGMOL doing their own thing.

It works in other sports either in discussion with the onfield ref (rugby) or in matters of fact (cricket). With subjective decisions, such as the penalty incident, or interfering with play you will have two standards to uphold. Next season in the EPL the referee on the pitch will no longer be...

I hope that FIFA looks at the antics of the Cameroon players and Coach but I feel the majority of the problems come down to weak refereeing. Issue the red card after 3 minutes and the players will know not to take liberties, by not doing so she showed them she is potentially a bottler. By...

Surely she should be a hockey, tennis or cricket official ;)
