IMO England is one of the worst refs on the PL list and how he got to FIFA level too is beyond me. Correct to send off Wharton but never fully in control of the game and lacks authority. Doesn’t get a grip with games loses control and resorts to cards. It’s never a penalty but if it is surely it’s a red card?

Don’t always agree with Webb but his analysis of the Dalot incident is spot on

Not a dive, but not a penalty either

General Discussion / Re: Manchester Utd vs City- Anthony Taylor« on: Sat 17 Jan 2026 21:04 »At city free kick late on Fernandes was allowed to pick up the ball throw about 20 yards thus delaying the start. The free kick was taken from the original place. Was this the one where the offence happened 3 yards from the corner flag? Yet the city keeper took it almost 20 yards further forward. Something else Taylor let city get away with Clearly no 5cm rule in operation for United’s 3rd disallowed goal which looks onside on every replay 7

He’s had no control whatsoever. Joelinton lucky to be on the pitch. Bernardo silva with 2 poor tackles as well and then getting in Kavanagh’z ear but that’s typical guardiola behaviour. Numerous times clear holding in the box completely ignored.
The var check is a joke, pope is in no man’s land so not offside for me 8
General Discussion / Re: Tom Kirk - Everton v Wolves« on: Thu 08 Jan 2026 20:16 »From what I have read, Kirkby was absolutely right to send Grealish off and I applaud his action in doing so. I haven't seen the hair pulling incident but some have described it as accidental. Was it? Which is it? Reckless (which is a yellow card in law) or endangering safety of an opponent (which is a red card) 9

General Discussion / Re: Fulham v Chelsea Peter Bankes« on: Thu 08 Jan 2026 09:21 »
I don’t think he was that good. Got the big decision correct but then weak mentality. Enzo carried on showing dissent and Bankes let him get away with it. A lot of needle and bite throughout I thought he didn’t really get a grip on. Fo me he doesn’t had the same authority as the likes of Taylor Oliver Gillett and brooks
As for silva it’s about time he got along ban. Never seen a manger booked after gaining a decision before 11

Kirk was excellent and glad he dealt with grealish who has always been an entitled petulant child. I’ve watched the first red back about 15 times now I’m still not sure. It’s not deliberate like the one on cucurella a few yrs back. I think Keane misjumps but pulls his hair for leverage. Not sure it was particularly violent or serious. For me not a clear and obvious mistake

General Discussion / Re: C Pawson- Fulham v Liverpool« on: Mon 05 Jan 2026 20:15 »One thing I’m really struggling to get my head around, there have been much tighter offside calls than this, where literally an earlobe or a toenail is offside and is so close that you can’t actually call it with the naked eye, yet have still been given as offside? This one is very clear, Wirtz is obviously offside, yet all of a sudden we’re talking about 5cm tolerances? If that is really the case, then so many previously disallowed goals should have been allowed to stand, surely? The whole thing stinks to me. This is clearly an error, yet they want to hide behind a rule that has seemingly never been used before. Dreadful, and for me personally, all faith has finally been lost in the PGMOL. They do come up with the most brilliant of bulls*** stories when it’s the big clubs particularly Liverpool involved. It’s embarrassing now 13
General Discussion / Re: Chris Kavanagh« on: Sun 04 Jan 2026 17:55 »I guess for games in London, it's more straightforward to either fly or get the train down, whereas it's not quite as easy for games like Bournemouth, where there isn't a direct connection by train/plane from most of the UK. Frequent trains from Manchester to Bournemouth every day? 14

An easy game to referee not the Derby it once was which is a shame 15
