I'd think they're all put down as SPA as when you're in the box, it's probably a promising attack. Of course, it's not mandatory

Can someone from Britain post a mirror of that video? Sky is notorious for not making anything available outside of Britain

Guy sent off should have recieved his second yellow there. Agree it's not a red, but surely a yellow card.

Under older laws it is probably a retake as the ball hadn't left the PA

How many of you give advantage for second yellow cards by the way? Disregarding the penalty call, which I don't think is even close to one, I'd have blown the whistle, sent Blind off and merrily have continued the rest of the game. If Veltman's handball doesn't constitute natural silhouette, I'm...

I agree with Son's red being overturned and I'm glad it got overturned. In the same vain as Atkinson, I'm sure I'd have given a red, fearing that I may have missed the severity which then in the PL activates the 'nothing is clear and obvious' - clause the VAR seems to have. That being said, he...

Me being Dutch, I thought that the English chaps are the most annoying ones to deal with. Although I've only dealt with the nordern Dutchies. Dissent seems far worse in England than in NL

Referee's just admitted he shouldn't have cautioned anyone. Caution hasn't been reported as I recall. However the encroachment was for teams, so the retake was correct

I do disagree here, and agree with the below post. What would then be the point of the law that we should discourage trickery to circumvent the laws? If we agree this is allowed, why can't players then lie down and head it back? Hell, a defender can lay down in front of the keeper and let the...

Well lads(and lasses), your opinions on this? I feel it's clearly trickery and a direct result of why backpasses weren't allowed anymore as a result of time wasting being a distinct possibility. However, I'm unsure who to caution here if I am sure about the trying to circumvent the laws.

https://streamable.com/9zz28 In this off-season, I often grasp every opportunity to discuss something. How do we feel about the teamwork here? Seems odd for the ref to come running across from 40 yards with the card in hand. I'd feel they should get this one correct in the first instance...

Well that's just unlucky, but what do we make of this? He had to be close to judge the goal/ no goal but I've never seen this before

As I am aware of the recent thread where 'If we tear out one of the pages of the laws, where do we stop' was a valid argument which I fully support, I recognise this might be quite contradictory. I wouldn't think of this as circumventing the laws but rather smart play. Verrati's case was much...

It's something that I use. I'm not an imposing figure, nor that authorative but I always make sure to give the first public display of dissent a clear warning to not continue that behaviour. Most of the time it's something to the extent of 'you don't have to agree but you do have to respect me'...

Azpi is off for me there, shocking challenge and no idea why the ref pulled it back instead of allowing advantage. Thought he'd give the red the moment he blew the whistle and am still surprised he didn't.

Hi all, for once I'd like to bring a positive note to these type of threads. Last Saturday, I had my first serious mass con. Never had one before as the leagues I work on are generally well behaved. However, minute 87 and Green 12 slides in with excessive force. Unfortunately, I had cramped up...

VC as not a challenge for the ball. Stupid foul and not sure how a 37-year old bloke can't handle himself on the pitch

Happy that handball wasn't given. Still have seen those punished in the CL and in Spain, so can understand the Barca complaints

Absolutely nothing Delph could do about that. Kane absolutely, and unnecessarily, went in recklessly and he came out worse for it.

I'd be massively surprised this would be given as a foul throw by the PGMOL, and even so, wouldn't this be considered trifling seeing we don't even seem to punish encroachment anymore when it is considered trifling?
