    Rashford's been watching Marky Mark's penalty technique. Identical to the Newcastle one, though probably a tad more pressure. Proper bottle.

    That won’t need VAR next season as it will be a penalty from the off under the new handball law.

    Fair play to Man Utd.

    What bottle from Rashford.

    thorn, you're assuming that the ref saw it.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I think the ref saw it otherwise he’d have given a goal kick.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It was definitely deflected for a corner though.

    Another, and correct, VAR pen given to Porto. ;wahoo

    Neymar entering into the Trumpian spirit by declaring it hit the defender's back...

    Maybe it's the Solskjaer effect - he looks happy at being given the job, unlike Mourinho who gave the impression that he was doing Manure a favour.

    I've always wanted our teams to do well in Europe despite any negativity toward them . I also like OGS. Seems like a decent bloke with a positive non Mourinho demeanour!
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I love listening to OGS speak. Amazing accent.

    I can never want Spurs to do well. In any situation

    And he also looks like Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis at the same time. Amazing.

    It seems the PL are considering that the VAR officials make the decisions and not pass them to the on field ref to look at a screen.
    It makes some sense because if the VAR mob tell the ref to look at the screen it’s implying that they’ve already decided what the decision ought to be.
    If they do adopt this practice it would align with the way it’s used in rugby and to a degree in cricket.

    and it'll save time too...

    Yes but if they let the ref off the hook who are we going to shout at. ;weep
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    We'll just have to shout at the TV. I've been in training....

    So if the PL decide on this process what happens IF any of our referees are appointed to a European match & are asked to review a decision? Do they simple just take what the VAR officials say? I understand both of our refs were taken off any games in Europe for the remainder of this season as we aren't using VAR.

    At lest spurs lost ;lol ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Saints won ;weep

    Silva goes with his hand, a la Chico, but is not castigated as a cheat...
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Klopp won’t be happy with that City goal
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Isn't that a shame? ;biggrin

    That Watford goal was yards offside ;doh

    I am not sure what is happening with refs lately, cannot find much in the way of sympathy within me but Liverpool’s keeper was clearly impeded for Burnley goal.

    The Burnley guy had both hands on the keepers shoulders stopping him from jumping.

    It is no wonder that VAR is coming in

    They do seem to be getting worse. VAR is the answer but need to stop the ridiculous system where the actual ref needs review the incident. Just have him stop the match for a second until communicated from a replay 5th official. Communicate to the ref via ear piece and decision made. It's not like he needs review an offside given by the linesman as he trusts the rest of his team. I have a feeling this change will come sooner or later.
