    I would be happy with that. Although I think get rid of Stockly Park. If the ref sees something he thinks could be a red then he chooses...

    I agree the officials have a nightmare job which has got harder with the introduction of sky etc and more cameras and journalists...

    If VAR looked at it, they would have seen Robertson place his hand on the goalie while offside, and then duck as the ball flies over him...

    It’s not a directive for the linesman not to flag. The directive is to not flag until the attack has come to a conclusion (and then only...

    Agreed, yes. That's effectively what I was saying - the goalkeeper is making countless micro-decisions with his positioning, assessing...
