And they're never wrong 🥱

Yes it is. If this isn't "C&O" then we accept a SFP decision is never going to be overturned this season. Fine. I look forward to this consistent approach.

"the action viewed in isolation is a ridiculous challenge. Martinez is so fortunate that he doesn't contact Kamada." It went on to add that the decision was "supported as correct on the basis that the action by Martinez had been completed and no contact was made, however the panel felt very...

I assume posts have been deleted cos I've seen nothing even close to the line?

The FA and FIFA themselves show videoclips of incidents to assist in training of referees at all levels. Most things that happen on a football pitch CAN be put into a category with things that happened in other games. If they couldn't it would be impossible to write a book of laws as it would be...

"No incident can be compared to another incident." Why even have a forum then?

I def prefer Taylor but I have ref friends that swear he is the worst in the world 😅

Interesting that only referees think this, I don't know a normal football fan that agrees. Not that in itself proves anything. For me he is like an "arty" movie that people pretend is top notch to appear smarter to their peers. But hey-ho, opinions and all that. I must protest your insinuation...

Do we have any indication what the 2nd caution was for? I'm fine with it being the challenge.

Good that Oliver and VAR ignored the VC by Haaland after the equaliser.

I instantly thought red. Then I was trying to justify a caution as he doesn't get the player. But it is just sheer luck. It just had to be a red card.

VAR not calling the Rooney VC is right up there for worst non decisions you'll see. The very definition of VC.

I think it's ridiculous to penalise this but in the name of consistency (at the top level) it should be given.

Why?

I'd cringe watching a L7 referee being conned like this, looked awful from an EPL ref. That kick away by Rice happens EVERY game and nothing is done. If they're stamping it out, fine (but we all know they're not). Pretty obvious the player intended to kick Rice by anyone that has ever kicked...

I doubt he consciously took an action that is given as a penalty 80% of the time for no tactical reason whatsoever.

That's fine if they RC for this all season, which they won't. The push before was more violent than anything Shar did.

Ah yes. Just end the game as soon as one team goes 1-0 up then. Genius.

I'm not going to cheat a team out of time they're entitled to to make my life easier.

Rare I've seen such a chalk and cheese two halves. Was having non of the Spanish antics 1t half. Refereed the 2nd like it was his first time in international football. Doubt England had enough to get an equaliser, but by golly the ref made sure it was never in doubt.
