I was really looking forward to this game, but I am (currently) bored to tears. I hope we see some ELEMENT OF excitement very soon, …..please !!

If Haaland was “Clearly offside” it’s puzzling that it took the best part of 5 minutes of in depth analysis in the VAR room to make the “decision” only to then send the referee to the monitor to make his own decision.

I think that seen in the round he refereed the game very well indeed.

4
I thought this was a very strong performance. Not flustered at all, good foul detection, used the advantage clause sensibly. Good fitness. Yellow cards were nailed on. He looked very comfortable throughout in what is often a potentially feisty local derby. Excellent.

5
He must be absolutely delighted to have refereed the final in such a competent manner without controversy.

I think he had an excellent game. Very composed. Overall I was very impressed with his performance.

If they enter the field of play without the referee’s permission I think the answer in my opinion is “yes”.

Another very competent and impressive refereeing performance. I really rate him. Very safe pair of hands.

I thought Jones was very good. However,I and presumably many others, find “handball” a topic of inconsistency, uncertainty and debate.

11
Taking the game as a whole I thought John Brooks was excellent. Superb game for the neutral.

If a free kick was given for the incident that is being discussed outside the penalty area I doubt very much if there would be many who would disagree with it. I must admit that when I saw it replayed in slow motion I probably (and arguably incorrectly) would have given the penalty. Probably just as well I have retired from refereeing.

13
Look to me like a kick at an opponent rather than a challenge for the ball.
Excellent decision.

I question when a player who has already been yellow carded commits what appears to me to be another clear yellow card offence, and the referee appears to reach for another yellow card, but then, ( from what I could see) decides not to administer a second yellow card (and in consequence a red card) puzzles me. It would be be illuminating to be given an explanation why a second yellow and therefore a red was not given. An explanation no doubt we will not receive.

There was something of a mass confrontation at the final whistle from the Leicester players toward the referee. However, I have to say as a supporter of Leicester I thought that overall he had a very good game. I thought he looked very comfortable throughout. No issues with the cards. I do think however that some players are given far too much leeway about from where a throw in should be taken from. Some players received a card for “time wasting” but others who clearly were doing it did not.
However, that aside a very competent and solid performance.
