General Discussion / Re: The VAR thread

Fairly blatant penalty not given in Man City’s favour by Mr Taylor today, where VAR didn’t overturn. Though less pivotal than the two ajb95 mentions

And one of the clearest cautions of the season for Kevin De Bruyne missed by Taylor as well for clear dangerous play towards Kouyate.
VAR doesn’t currently deal with missed cautions though?

I mentioned in the appointments thread that Mr Hicks appeared to have a poor game in Tranmere v Shrewsbury, sending Connor Jennings off for a second yellow, where it appeared the Shrews player had fouled first and failing to send their player off for a blatant pull-back when already on a YC. Seems to be on a poor run at present.

Just when you thought that Tranmere had enough problems with a thin squad and multiple injuries, along comes Darren Drysdale to make things even worse.

Sounds like a poor game from Mr Hicks at Tranmere. Very harsh second yellow for Connor Jennings, where the initial foul from the Shrewsbury player was ignored by the referee and a failure to give Shrewsbury's Laurent a second yellow for a pull-back probably the key decisions he  appeared to get wrong.

Nothing strange about that. The Laws of the game require it from this season: “Where an offence is committed and the offender cannot be identified, the senior team coach present in the technical area will receive the sanction.”

So, I suspect this is what was being pointed out to the Birmingham manager, giving the opportunity to identify the perpetrator.
Seems a bit harsh if the coach is unable rather than unwilling to identify the offender. Imagine how many touchline bans Arene Wenger might have served if this law had been present in his heyday  ???

I'm ambivalent about Mr Toner, having seen him twice last season. A very good non-interventionist approach to Rovers game with Cheltenham, but blowing for the slightest of contact and an inconsistent approach to carding fouls in the trip to Mansfield.

Haven't seen any of this game, but not that impressed of what I saw of Mr Robinson in the Newcastle v Leicester Carabao game highlights. Arguably the Choudhry challenge on Ritchie deserved more than a yellow.

Another red for Breakspear this evening!
Mr Breakspear was fairly gentle on Saturday, could easily have sent Rovers’ Ferrier and Bolton’s Zumba off but settled for yellow.

Sadly no such luck with Gavin Ward last night. While the two red cards were merited, a string of decisions in favour of Bristol Rovers seemed par for the course with this official and Tranmere games. Given how he’s progressed, can only assume that he saves all his worst performances for Tranmere.

Has Mr Whitestone decided on a career with refereeing, rather than continuing his job with the police? The latter was usually the explanation for him not going onto the SG2 list earlier. On the two games I saw him last season, while he was one of the better NG officials, perhaps fell below the high standard I'd expected from previous games when he was in the middle.

Surprised and not impressed, if Mr Joyce is deemed the best official worthy from those outside the SGs to take charge. His lack of player empathy has the ability to ruin what should be a great occasion for both clubs.

Puzzled about Mr Ilderton as FO, given he did the Forest Green v Tranmere Rovers second leg semi.

I don't know what, if anything, Mike Dean would have made of it, but I think that Eddie Ilderton's decision to send off Carl Winchester of Forest Green for a second yellow, was extremely harsh. More sinned against than sinner comes to mind, and with over 20 minutes left on the clock, it undoubtedly didn't help Forest Green's cause.

I didn't think the second YC was merited for that incident, but felt Winchester didn't help himself, his first caution was for dissent, he kept getting in the referee's face and think there was a foul by him just before the second YC.

He's the only current SG referee I've ever met, in the away end at Crewe a few years ago.

In my opinion Keith Hackett is beginning to overstep to point of just spouting rubbish. Here's something he tweeted today where he makes out that a decision from Anthony Taylor effectively decided the tile race:

"The turning point in the Premier League title was decided in the Man City v Liverpool game. 31st minute when Kompany went in from distance with two feet off the ground on Mo Salah. Anthony Taylor failed to red card the offence! City won 2-1"

Isn't it deeply irresponsible to write something like this?

Interestingly, I was reading over the weekend that that game was part of the offline VAR trials this season and apparently the VAR in question on the day felt that, whilst there was a strong cae for a red card, it was not a clear and obvious yellow to decide that it was only a yellow so they would not have intervened - of course, another VAR might have had a different opinion!

Given Mr Hackett in his prime arguably ruined an FA Cup semi-final with a harsh sending-off, would expect he more than most would empathise with Mr Taylor erring on the side of caution and showing a YC to Kompany. As I said at the time,it could easily have been red, but don't accept that decision alone decided the title, though it did come at a pivotal time.

It would be interesting to see a full list of the decisions which the offline VAR trials felt should have attracted intervention.

Back on topic, the red card for Watford's Holebas, shown by Mr Kavanagh seemingly prompted by the Ar has been overturned.

Any thoughts on the Newport penalty decision?
