Yes - yesterday's situation certainly certainly wouldn't count as a 'serious missed incident'. You can certainly argue that it was a clear and obvious error but VAR obviously didn't think so.

It does need to be a clear and obvious error (or serious missed incident, which generally is taken to relate to a possible red card offence that the referee didn't see at all - like the Ronaldo yellow card against Iran in 2018 World Cup.)

Quite clearly no offside - no opponents near the offside player and he didn't touch the ball. Trip is a closer call. I'd say foul but you could argue it wasn't clear and obvious. I think City are a bit overrated when it comes to CL. BT have been talking all season as if they were one of the...

Any views on the incident on Monday? A penalty was given to Inter for a foul but referee then alerted by VAR that the ball hit hand of attacker in build-up so penalty decision overturned after referee viewed monitor and defensive free-kick given instead. Was this correct? If we take the...

I believe the technology they use in the Champions League etc. is exactly the same as the Premier League (as we saw with Wolves goal last night). The only difference is the Premier League have shown people the process of drawing the lines on for transparency but are going to stop that next...

I'd agree the phrase 'orange' is used too much and generally best avoided. But I still think that a referee should have a high degree of certainty if showing a red. The expression 'orange' has always suggested to me a referee is in two minds as to whether to go yellow or red, in which case I...

I think if it's an 'orange' tackle, you should go yellow - certainly in a play-off final. I would hope VAR wouldn't intervene on 'orange' tackles. Thought Atkinson was excellent.

You're right, but I think the poster is referring to the idea of basing the decision on whether a player is sent off or not on whether the penalty is scored and pointing out that this shouldn't make a difference.

They showed it after the game - he was just in.

The Premier League absolutely should be doing something like this. Understandable to go slow for the first year but it will be a huge communication failure next season if they don't go in this sort of direction next season. The clip of Michael Oliver from 2018 FA Cup final went down very ell...

I remember Phil Dowd incorrectly cautioning a keeper in a PL game at Sunderland about 8 years ago.

The sequence is: 1. Rice has shot from free-kick 2. The ball hits Pogba 3. Rice plays the rebound outside the penalty area 4. Paul Tierney stops play for the 'head injury' If it wasn't a penalty then West Ham would have restarted with the ball.

A clear handling offence for me. Penalty a great spot.

It was disappointing to see Peter Walton getting confused about this season's laws and the new laws. Hardly clarified things for the viewers.

I think the situation you describe is different. In that case (and if we imagine there was no handball), Spurs would have had the advantage of the move continuing. If Kane scores it counts, if it misses then it's no goal. But they have the possibility of scoring. In this situation, there was...

Indeed, and I've never argued against that last sentence. Dale Johnson has clarified that the PL have told him it was the incorrect restart and Dermot Gallagher said on Sky this morning that play should have restarted with a free-kick to Tottenham. What I don't really understand is how they...

Where does it say that? Obviously the VAR can't tell the referee if he missed a foul but if he played an advantage I'd have thought it should be fine to say 'advantage wasn't possible because of X', just as if a referee went to play advantage but then the assistant raised a flag for offside. If...

How has it accrued? If the referee had spotted the handball in real time (not easy of course) then presumably he'd have given Spurs a free-kick as that offence happened first. The fouled Tottenham player didn't have any opportunity to play the ball - the Sheffield United player kicked it...

Wasn't Jon Moss also VAR for the Everton V Man Utd disallowed goal in February?

When Dermot Gallagher thinks the wrong decision was made, you know it probably was! I think it should have been a red card and was surprised it wasn't considering how long Graham Scott looked at it for. Another thing I'd say is this seems to fall into the category where an on-field review...
