    Wig at goal celebration - Rodrigo (Valencia-Barcelona)

    Rodrigo didn't get a yellow card for this goal celebration. Does this fall under "A player must be cautioned for [...] covering the head or face with a mask or other similar item"? The text seems quite clear (yellow), but some claim it's not a booking because the player would still be...

    Red or Yellow?

    Harsh because it looks like a body check gone wrong, but following the laws it can only be red.

    Drawbacks of the VAR system

    Rarely, but some are black/white. And some of those black/white situations are now being judged wrongly and some of those mistakes have a big influence on the outcome of a game. Video referee has the best info (except for dissent) so he can make the best judgment (and rectify where needed). As...

    Drawbacks of the VAR system

    I was talking about what are VAR calls now, the 4 categories of "match-changing decisions/incidents" according to IFAB (goal, penalty, direct red, mistake identity), but now that we're talking about it, that's in fact also I think should be changed (I know it won't happen anytime soon). Scoop...

    I meant all video calls.

    Drawbacks of the VAR system

    Video referee would make the key decisions, so you'll need your best people behind the screen. Also have to say the best field referee will not always be the best video referee. These are two different jobs that demand a different set of skills (and a different training). You can be a top field...

    Drawbacks of the VAR system

    As we've already discussed before on the forum and as is again said by some in this topic, two key changes should be made : 1) Video referee becomes head referee and makes the calls, on-field referee is basically just another assistant referee. 2) Teams should get a couple of VAR requests...

    Neymar red card

    Yellow for both is the right decision here. Also looks like the referee had already whistled for that first foul (?), so Neymar in the end only brought it upon himself by playing on.

    Man C v Burnley penalty?

    It's clearly the goalkeeper who charges into Silva, who is acting in a totally normal way (before the contact). And seeing these images of his foot/ankle, you have to say it's a penalty, can't stay on his feet and continue play in a normal way. There could also be some kind of block of...

    Two possible penalties: 1. Casemiro-Llorente (no penalty) 2. Aurier-Kroos (penalty)

    Watford v Arsenal

    Richarlinson clearly playing for it, but looks like a penalty for me (Ozil gets in the way of that replay from behind, which could have been conclusive). Although it's the kind of situation for which I'd prefer the option of a free-kick inside the penalty area. Penalty is too much of a reward...

    Red, yellow or no foul? please vote and comment

    Last video indeed shows something new. Still image supports excessive violence, but when you watch video it's definitely not. Two yellows seems fair decision.

    Red, yellow or no foul? please vote and comment

    Agree with this. First watched the second video and thought the question was about the white player... Need proper real-time view to see if the stripes player could go for the ball (the replays seem to suggest he could).

    Europa league

    Would need a couple of extra replays, but based on these images, yellow for me. Looks like the defender kind of tries to hook the ball away, but then Bendtner runs into his right leg, he loses his footing and can't complete the move.

    Liver Sevilla

    Like you, I was convinced in real time that it was a foul (charge with his hip/upper leg), but after seeing replays I'd say play on. There's kind of a hip charge by Salah to get in front of N'Zonzi, but (a) that's not what made N'Zonzi fall (it's because his knee then hits the back of Salah's...

    Man City vs Liverpool

    It's actually not clear from that article if Halsey thinks it was a red card or not. It in fact looks like he kind of agrees it's red, but that he thinks Moss shouldn't have given it because it wasn't really clear "in real time" (and so he should have taken the safe option - yellow). Which is a...
