Goalscorer also inside the penalty area when the goal kick was taken, so lots of reasons to disallow it.

That’s never a penalty in a million years. Player goes looking for it.

This is an unusually long time out for Bond, it's getting a bit concerning. This injury must be very serious, unless something else has happened.

Has a referee ever retired through injury? Not exactly saying that will happen to him, just curious.
I wonder if there’s something else going on other than injury. Surely he’d do VAR if he was injured.

General Discussion / Re: C PAWSON - Liverpool v Man City

If Szoboszlai hadn’t pulled Haaland back he would’ve got there first and tapped it in. If Haaland then had not pulled Szoboszlai back then the Liverpool player would’ve cleared it off the line.

There’s no way in hell any referee would blow for the initial foul by Szoboszlai when the ball is heading towards an open goal, crazy that a poster suggested that.

The only potential thing that could have happened was when Haaland then committed his foul, the referee stops it and brings it back for the initial foul. I feel that Pawson felt let’s just leave it, goal is best solution all round, vs disallowed and a red card.

But then the Liverpool players appeal for the foul by Haaland, instead of just letting it lie. And then he’s got no choice.

As ever, the referee gets the blame, but the players forced the hand of the officials and they did everything right.

Not sure what else people expect?

Liverpool players, careful what you wish for! Bemoaning the goal, asking for a review. And now Gary Neville is saying that nobody wanted that decision… but Liverpool were asking for a review. There was only one conclusion

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?
Agree about England, but not about it being a red card

After all that the penalty was missed with a panenka … dear oh dear..
And this is exactly why I’d have abandoned the game when they left the field. Now there’s at least 30 more minutes of being totally out of control. No thank you.

Ref has lost complete and utter control.

I know what you mean but respectfully I disagree. You can’t control a team that behaves like this no matter who the referee is.

100%
How can one person possibly try to control 50+ people?! Irrespective of what has gone before.

Typical genius blaming the officials. Not everything can be our fault

« on: Sun 11 Jan 2026 10:32 »
I strongly believe that Darren deserves some kind of national recognition for his services to football. I did look up maybe nominating him as part of the new years honours list, but to do so would need his full personal details (home address etc.)

I can’t think of anyone more worthy, but I can’t push it any further. Is anyone close enough to him to start a campaign on this?

A poor decision to give Everton a penalty there. His positioning for the incident was terrible. He had a rubbish view and couldn’t see the whole incident.

At least we didn’t have to wait 5 minutes for VAR to decide…

I'd rather have the correct decision madr than potentially be knocked out of the cup on a guess

Brooks wouldn’t have guessed though would he. His opinion of a penalty was wrong. That’s all.

It’s the eternal debate of VAR isn’t it. If we don’t want it then we have to take these decisions because they will happen.

He's either not seen the incident and had a guess or had a hallucination and gave it for something that didnt happen, can't have it both ways

Or saw something from the angle he had that he thought was a foul.
From all the TV shows we see nowadays with match official audio, it’s clear that decisions are not only made by one person, but often with immediate input from the other officials. We don’t know

Just seen this video on report.

Referee Russell hang your head in shame, how there was 0 cards issued for this mass con !! The report even referenced the fact there was not a single card issued here…. Absolutely lacked authority/control… just pure silence from him and his team…

https://fanbanter.co.uk/unsavoury-scenes-as-gillingham-and-colchester-managers-staff-and-players-clash-at-full-time/
I suggest those that should be hanging their heads in shame are the ones acting like children, not the referee and his team…

I would probably say yellow for Sanchez too, forgot to mention it in the original post. Definitely not dogso so correct in that regard
I don’t know why it would be a yellow card. He slipped and it was totally accidental.
Agreed, plus the fact that it didn’t stop a promising attack, was not reckless, nor did it meet any of the other caution criteria

I beg to differ, I thought the Simons challenge was defendable as a yellow. The contact was fleeting and you could hardly call it excessive force.

In slow motion it looks bad, but I really don’t think it was as bad as those stills made it look.

Kitchen was fourth official at West Ham on Sunday… now reffing them Thursday! Not very creative thinking!
Why do posters on here have such an issue with these kinds of things? Makes very little sense
