A decision that is probably right within the laws of the game, but I think it's soft, it was more of a push away than a slap/punch and I'll be honest - I preferred football at a time when stuff like that could be let go with a telling off from the referee and a couple of yellow cards personally.
I also think within the law itself he has a bit of discretion here and I feel he should have taken the opportunity to take advantage of that and manage it sensibly.
Orient fan here also at the game. Thought he and the refereeing team were excellent - well done. Also well done to Charlton, the best of luck to you for next season.
I think that's the worst VAR call I've seen since it's been introduced. The most straightforward red you're ever likely to see. Tierney should never be put on VAR again after that - simply unbelievable.
What a depressing afternoon, apart from Plymouth ! the gulf between the premiership and the rest is staggering. RIP cup shocks.
Yes and thanks to Plymouth my Acca was blown away with the cold weather! 🙄
Anyone think the Plymouth goal could (should?) have been ruled out for offside with the striker (strangely!) running miles offside quite close to the vision of the goalkeeper as the shot came in?
After 8 rounds of matches I was wondering what your thoughts were on VAR so far this season?
Personally I think it has been significantly better this season - 'referees call' has been a great addition to help nudge the tricky 50/50 calls back to the initial onfield decision of the referee and I think that so far that has been working really well in not overturning decisions unnecessarily.
From what I can remember personally I can think of only one clear howler so far which was not overturning the Bruno Fernandes red card which in my opinion was clearly was an error (there may be others but I can't think of them off of the top of my head)
Also it's been a lot quicker this season I feel (not sure if the stats back this up but I'd be surprised if they didn't) and offsides work so much better now we only see the lines at the final stage.
So we've seen both English referees in action today and I must say I much prefer the refereeing style of Michael's over Anthony. His games are somehow more enjoyable to watch and his superb foul detection is probably his best trait and up there with the best in world football.
He also has really good rapport with the players, he very rarely gets dissent because he's very good to deal with and I think the players like him.
