Poor Richarlison gets a yellow card for taking his shirt off after scoring. And then VAR disallows the goal

Can't argue with that and pretty much spot on.
Watching the Brentford-Leeds game, Leeds keeper comes out and the Brentford player hurdles cleanly without leaving a trailing boot in. Tony then scores with a great finish. ?

I’m 50/50 on the Bowen incident.
Bowen 100% left his foot in, but the contact was minimal.
I don’t mind the odd mistake from referees. It’s not an easy job especially at the speed the game is played at in the PL. But VAR is an absolute shambles and needs to be binned.

That's an interesting one. Should he have been booked for something that happened during a passage of play that wasn't 'legal'?Poor Richarlison gets a yellow card for taking his shirt off after scoring. And then VAR disallows the goal

Do we really want to go back to just officials decisions with all the scrutiny replays we get? This will just make the noise about officials even more hysterically stupid.

For me yes.
So, interesting stuff.
West Ham decision was wrong
Newcastle decision was wrong
VVD deserved an orange, couldn't have argued if it was red
Michael Oliver didn't follow the VAR advice ?. First time in over a year. @Stuart_C did you see that? Let's hope it's not the last time.
Forest, what happened?
Ivan Toney's value is increasing ?
Quite a day.

Well a good summary.
VAR = if you let an idiot fly a plane it’s going to crash!
What a free kick by Toney btw.

Probably will be next season if Leeds continue to defend like they did yesterday.
Well, planes were not around when Confucius was making wise statements but that definitely sounds like one of his ?.
Toney is getting better and better. Brentford did well to keep him for another season.

I feel sorry for Dale Johnson. He’s probably going to have to do an all nighter tonight for his Monday VAR review article to make it out on time tomorrow. ?

If Oliver sets an example and more refs follow fair play because the monitor is just becoming a delaying tactic to overturn the decison

Howard Webb is replacing Mike Riley as the Head of Prem referees soon. On talksport they reckon he’s been doing a great job in the US and VAR is simply not controversial.
Fingers crossed he can do the same here….

??? like milk sat out in the sun!This hasn't aged well
I’m still absolutely livid about yesterday. 2-0 up and cruising but we decide to sit back and invite pressure ?
hopefully that’s the wake up call needed to fix the issues we still have, and now we’ve got 8 days until Leeds away to get right. Next 6 games are massive.

I guess so, yes. If a player gets sent off for a 2 footed lunge, then afterwards it is decided play should not have continued due to offside, it is still a red. So, if rules day it is a definite yellow for taking shirt off in that manner, then the yellow should still stand
That being said, I don't really understand the rule. Why should it he a yellow? Can't be literally be about getting half naked, as players take their tops off after the game. Can't be about getting the crowd into a frenzy, as that happens after a goal anyway. I don't think fans are sent over the edge when they see a topless footballer?
Culturally unacceptable in some parts of the world. I can't remember if it is a fifa edict or the PL appeasing countries that they sell the rights to but that is the gist of it from memory.

The amount of protection the 'keepers are getting nowadays is ridiculous
