Michael Graham-Smith and Sam Nogajski umpiring the third and final T20I. It seems like CA are still undecided on who will be promoted and are using this series as an experiment of some sort. First full nation T20I match for Graham-Smith, but interestingly not his T20I debut.

Think the CA resources are stretched with two involved in the India v England series, blocker Wilson retiring, the ladies Polosak and Sheridan involved in the womens Australia v South Africa series hence we get the above appointees

Grandad Stroud has a more important occasion than the Cottage!

For those at the Cottage, a return for England for a second week but a very exciting appointment in Lewis Smith.

Madley being appointed to Liverpool confirms the appointment of Kavanagh, Mainiwaring and Scholes as this years cup final team.

Poor to appoint Tierney to what is a huge game at the bottom at Goodsion, considering the controversy with Everton in the past.

I am sure grandad Stroud and England could do a quick swap to save on mileage and keep TTFL happy.
Lewis Smith could have his hands full at the Cottage, this games has been feisty over the last few seasons. Villa also seem to get their share of newbies too.

Think missy bmb will be very happy a little later this week with the League Cup Final appointments and may be packing a yellow bag for a trip to Wembley.

Great game for Sam Allison.

Looks like Stroud will be available for the boards at The Cottage.

I would say that serial offender Fernandes was lucky not to receive a yellow card for a foul on Bailey under the nose of Richard West in the first half, based on the Casemiro yellow brandished and probably more so for persistent infringement

General Discussion / Re: Anthony Taylor - Forest v Newcastle

When I saw the replay I was surprised VAR didn't intervene because to me it was a clear foul by the GK.
Even Dermot, as well as the 2 pundits thought it was a penalty.

The issue for me in this situation is what the referee actually sees.  If the protocol is for VAR to ask the referee what he saw, and Anthony Taylor says he had a decent view and didn't think it was a penalty, is VAR going to re-referee the incident?  If the referee says he didn't have a clear view or a good angle, then it's a different matter. If the latter was the case, I don't understand how VAR could not recommend an OFR. Or is it a symptom of a less experienced colleague not wishing to override a FIFA elite referee by telling him he got it wrong?

Surely the referee tells the var what he saw and then if the referee didnt see the arm movement of Dubravka then the var should ask him if he has seen it. If the referee sees the arm movement of Dubravka but doesnt think it worthy of a penalty kick then is it clear and obvious?

Taylor does seem to have a habit of giving what one would consider soft penalties but not give them when more force is involved, an opinion i am sure many will disagree with.

Poor half for jones last minute Casemiro booked for no contact and then varane escapes yellow for clear push

I think Ar2 Richard West had a hand in the foul being given against Casemiro. Dissent by a player immy after receiving a yellow card rarely gets punished a bit like goalkeepers time wasting after receiving a yellow.
Jones tried to let the game flow, a few random foul detections but a reasonably competent performance overall, from my point of view pity my teams attackers werent as competent.

Didn’t watch it live but by all accounts an entertaining game.

Much of the talk seems to be about a penalty call in the second half. Not given on field, no review recommended.

Having only seen it once, Newcastle look like they got away with that.
I would say it goes in the i have seen them given category and by Taylor, but doubt var would intervene even if he had given it.

Thought Taylor had a pretty good game overall, he did miss a foul/yellow for Yates but also played a good advantage for an attack.

Just an attempt by the law makers trying to complicate things further and make things even more subjective and inconsistent. Just apply the laws as they stand correctly.

Fulham (First Team) v AFC Bournemouth (First Team)
Premier League
Referee: England, Darren
Assistant Referee: Bennett, Simon
Assistant Referee: Robathan, Daniel
Fourth Official: Martin, Stephen
Video Assistant Referee: Salisbury, Michael
Additional Video Assistant Referee: Eaton, Derek

What an accumulator for Fulham, England, Macho Man and Salisbury
They just need Stroud to act as chauffeur in order to re familarise himself with his parking spot and be available in case one of them get injured😂

Luton Town (First Team) v Sheffield United FC (First Team)
Premier League    
Referee: Kavanagh, Christopher
Assistant Referee: Mainwaring, James
Assistant Referee: Scholes, Mark


Possible Carabao Cup final team? Just a possibility given Kav isn't with his usual team of Bennett & Robathan

Agreed mentioned it in the FA cup replay appointments at Coventry tonight, the same onfield team.

Oh for the years gone by where managers and their staff incl subs had to remain seated in the dugouts (often referrred to as kennels). 😂

Interesting reading the opinions here. I don’t have one as I didn’t see it so maybe she was poor maybe she wasn’t.
But if I may reiterate a previously made point which seems relevant again today as the conversation about her performance takes place, her performance is of secondary importance.
Number one remains that the English Premier League has a female referee. If she was good then that’s great, if she wasn’t…ah well!!!

Personally i thought your post about Ms Welch on a previous thread deserved a yellow card and as you have repeated it then the circle red card should come out after the second yellow.

Slightly odd post-match comments by Chris Wilder. He said he went to speak to the referee after the match as he was unhappy with his performance. He accused one of the assistants of showing a lack of respect by eating a sandwich - Wilder's comment of 'hopefully he enjoyed eating a sandwich whilst talking to a Premier League manager' seemed especially strange and some might say a bit 'Do you know who I am?' sort of vibe.

What we have not been told and need to know is what was the filling in the sandwich ? This might make all the difference

BLT - Bad Loser Talking?

I don't think nuts or tripe feature very often in a sandwich, but bananas might have fitted the situation.

Overdone beef with a sour cream dressing perhaps ?

Might have been left over prawns if it had been at Old Trafford

Why is it you associate one missed 2YC as "being pushed too quick"?
Very.poor analysis IMHO

Detail her general decision making, her control, her positioning, her overall sanctions, interactions with players etc

For the record- I am not watching game

I am sure we will get a very impartial report a little later from our learned friend
