General Discussion / Re: John Busby - Ipswich vs Leicester

This is the third reported apology to be received by Ipswich from PGMOL this season.

I don't think they should be doing that.

Because there should be no grounds for apology.   If the match officials have made a decision based honestly on their observations of an event this should not  require an apology - even if their decision was incorrect!

Edited to fix the quote thingamajigga. bmb

I predict a good smattering of yellow this weekend!
That's just the daffodils you're seeing ;-)

Did Brian Brobbey deserve to receive a red card ?

Mr Hackett seems to think so.

Which suggests he didn't!!!

Wish the circle red card was still around!

But only if produced from a yellow pocket!!!

Villa goal ruled out after Tierney ruled the ball had gone out of play. Two doubts here for me, the first being I’m not sure you can 100% say the ball is out, although it looks it. And secondly surely that can’t be part of the APP, it’s ages before the goal is scored.


According to the BBC article it’s the furthest a VAR has ever gone back to disallow a goal in the premier league
   Whereas, what was the previous furthest?

Ex ESPN now BBC does a lot of sensible VAR reviews and seems to be very much in the know

Thank you 👍

.....about eight minutes from full time there was a collision between a Palace forward and Sunderland defender Omar Alderete which ended up with our defender injured.I sit behind the North Stand goal where the incident occurred and whilst it looked like a flailing arm or hand it was purely unintentional when the contact came.

Alderete lay on the pitch for a few seconds and the referee waved on our physio however what happened then was the player got up and pointed at his lower jaw and cheek area where the contact had taken place and he didn't need treatment.

The referee insisted he had a head injury and made him leave the field of play even though he jogged off without any assistance however this left us one man down for thirty seconds.

 What a silly CORRECT thing to do by the referee.

Altered that for you 👍

General Discussion / Re: Stuart Attwell: Chelsea v Aston Villa

One thing I find frustrating with Stuart Atwell's performances is the way he flashes the yellow card to a player without looking at them!  We correctly talk about respecting the referee, but to my mind this is the referee disrespecting the player.
Contrast this with Simon Hooper's practice of pointing towards the player he is cautioning. This also avoids ambiguity as to whom is being cautioned.

Nobody seems to be mentioning Trossard's (sp?) lack of a yellow card when he was lucky he didn't catch anyone with one of the dummies he threw out of his pram when he didn't get a free kick after being gently brushed against.
