He blows up when the ball reaches half way. Wouldn't surprise me if that was deliberate and he's misunderstood what he's been spoon fed about stopping play in a neutral area. I'm more concerned about the goalkeeper making zero effort to get back than the refereeing decision

Once asked Mike Dean at a meeting why he did no look cards as the perception of it was arrogance. After much irrelevant guffawing from those who thought they knew "they don't have to ask for the name at that level", he told me it was because he was nervous when showing the card.

Bit of an extreme example, below, to illustrate what can happen. What strategies do people use to navigate attacks when, shall we say, time is very short. Seen some refs telling everyone it's the last play, but they can then put 10 players in the box which seems a bit of advantage to the attack

These tackles are the potential leg breakers. Endangered the safety of an opponent.

First one was actually a second yellow, given for a free kick. (according to the Spanish instagram ref) Very clear DOGSO in my book, the goalkeeper was stuck in concrete. Understandable miss in real time. Think we discussed recently that the VAR intervention doesn't actually add anything when...

Only an 11 match ban? Absolutely shocking. Cases are often taken less seriously when a game isn't abandoned.

VAR interventions in Spain are nearly double the interventions in the EPL.

@ladbroke8745 How was this game not abandoned?

The image is that blurry I wouldn't be confident the kick point is right. Majority of assistants will go early in situations like this, you may think you don't but most do.

@socal lurker This in Women's Champions League so UEFA jurisdiction. For VAR the clear and obvious criteria doesn't apply as it would come.under serious missed incident (if the VAR viewed it as a red card).

We saw a few red cards and suddenly the referee community decided it was an automatic red card There are far more instances of it not being punished with a red card.

Yet another hair pull not not being classed as violent conduct.

Referee Forum is now huge. The owner seems to be an Alexei Sayle knock-off with questionable views. Has started to use AI to create anonymous posts to drive content. The American one is quite frequently wrong in law but he's enthusiastic and a good communicator. Their are a few twitter...

Clear red for who?

Careful what you wish for. I get the impression that Rosetti regards handballs as factual not subjective. Nearly any ball hitting the hand in the build up to a goal will be chalked off, any time the arm stops a shot on goal it will be penalized.

2m15. Would've got there very comfortably

Scratch that. After querying why a throw was different they've said they made a mistake and restarts, except penalties, can't be reviewed

At least two players made strong appeals

Clear backpass but too far back to intervene. Right non-intervention from VAR but for the wrong reason. The ball is passed out then goes back to the goalkeeper again
