Just another reason I believe there shouldn't be a Stockley Park team or whatever - it should be that if the ref wants to review something, he is able to. Not somebody telling him to. Because currently they are not reffing the games.

That makes no sense having no VAR Official, either bin it altogether or have an official, let’s remember they have got some decisions correct the Ref has missed and you’ve agreed with. Can’t have it both ways.;)

There are 3 issues in play here; the third being the amount of simulation cheating that the modern players bring into the game. We complain about the referees but how much can we really expect them to get right when the players go out of their way to have them over?

Edit: make that four; add the pundits defending the cheats with their "right to go down" mantra.

Oh, don’t even get me started on the conduct of the players. Seeing them dive is bad enough. The rolling around is pathetic. But the screams, which of course we can now all hear in empty grounds? Embarrassing. There’s no other word for it.

And certain United players need to take a look at themselves in this regard, most notably Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes. As a lifelong United fan I’ll never defend their play acting.

Watching gymnastics yesterday, a woman on the bars smashed her face body legs the lot on the deck. It’s a wonder she never knocked herself out. She brushed herself off and carried on. If that was some footballers, the squealing and rolling about would of been disgusting. Even yesterday in the carabao final one of the Spurs players went down screaming in agony. 10 seconds after realising he is getting nowt he is sprinting back and there were a few others from both sides. It’s shocking to see.

Happy to compromise on that. I want to get back to referees refereeing games, just having a little bit of help if they need it - and if they decide they need it and actually ask for it. Not someone in a studio miles away telling them what to do each step of the way.

Sadly we are stuck with it imo, but totally agree they need to sort out how it’s used by the Officials.
 
We call him Nacho man. I think he’s won man of the match every time we’ve won for the past couple of months and great to see him making the most of the opportunity now that we’re playing two up top. Also pleased to be proved wrong - I’ll hold my hand up and confess I wanted us to get rid of him. What a great finish this evening. I think that we need 4 to 6 points for top four now in the remaining 5 matches.

To be fair he looked this good when he came through at City and I was surprised they let him go at the time - he was usurped by Gabriel Jesus despite looking like a better finisher. Then he took a while to settle and get a run of games, but he looks class again now he's had that.
 
So. Red card overturned (again)

That's at least 3 reds where the ref has sent off after a second look pitch side been overturned

What's the point of a second look if you get it wrong?

Surely there has to be some sanction against Chris Kavanagh. If he has reviewed the incident on a monitor and deemed it a red, and others have reviewed it on a monitor and said it’s not, then it must follow that those overturning the decision have decided Kavanagh has made a significant error.

At the very least he should be given the next round of matches off. Such blatant errors cannot go unpunished.
