[es1]

not a referee i'm keen on...hope he does well though, should be a cracking game

 

[Jorik0907]

Surely that was line of vision and offside before the pen?

 

[es1]

He wasn't off...back foot played him on

Thought it was a dive regardless though

 

[Jorik0907]

Wow, really close call. Have to admit that I was only glancing at the TV, wouldn't have given the PK and once again don't think it's clear and obvious. Ref didn't look like he was awarding a PK if it wasn't offside either.

Please tell him to stop whistling! It seems that Collina has instructed the refs to “interfere” more at set pieces… but the needless whistling is just really poor - and grassroots refs are advised to avoid.

40th min minor foul basic DFK in own half ref has beeped over 20 times! Ridiculous and totally negates the effectiveness of the whistle when you need it.

(I’ve had a rough week so forgive me if I am brusque tonight!)

 

[Therealcjhill]

Now that’s when I want to see VAR jump in. Clear red for Uruguay player and yet he gets away with it. Disgusting from Uruguayan..

Hope you're ok bud

Hope you're ok bud

Only work and mostly my own bad judgement! I did get a call from the regional ref chief asking me to join the “selection committee” though (true!) so I know at least someone likes my refchat posts!!!

Good stuff.

Now I can crack my Santa joke...

Busy this time of year, huh?

Also 'grats on the offer

Agreed that it was a dive which seemed like a stupid risk of a booking. Don’t dive and the keeper still takes him out

Agreed...definitely a candidate for RC check. A very Uruguayan action there... Decades long history of viciousness

Haha. No one wants a grumpy Santa this time of year.

 

[es1]

ooooh well i'm not sure what to think about that! 2nd time a ref hasn't overturned a decision after going to the monitor

 

[Joshref]

Unbelievably brave decision in a World Cup.

Not clear and obvious though

 

[one]

Shouldn't have been sent to the screen anyway.

 

[es1]

it certainly surprised me, after clearly indicating the ball was won. i called pen real time though and think it probably was

 

[one]

Someone is going to get told off here. One FIFA referee saying this is clearly and obviously a penalty. The other FIFA referee looks at all the evidence and stays no it's not

 

[cwyeary]

I think it's possible the VAR didn't pick up on the slight ball contact before he called him over.

 

[Big Cat]

He got the ball Ref!!! 'Careless' I hear you say... What's that got to do with it?
