Sean Dyche will be spiting feathers watching this tonight, imo if we are going to rid this disease of simulation Salah has to face retrospective action and receive a 2 match Ban

Andy, imo that is a clear and obvious error by Jon Moss var should have recommended a review, 🤷♂️
@RefereeHalsey you know you’re gonna get the question Mark so please try and explain how this isn’t given. I don’t have a clue.

Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, once Bowen makes that initial movement towards the ball in doing so challenging an opponent coming from an offside position, he then becomes involved in active play and therefore should be given offside

Death threats that have been sent to Mike Dean and his family are despicable, yes criticise performances constructively but death threats!!! those responsible need to be found and brought to justice NOW

Once referee has given the penalty Kevin Var should never have got involved you can see the holding offence by De-Ligt not a clear and obvious error by the referee 🤷♂️
#EVEMUN @PLMatchCentre simply unacceptable from VAR, 2 players clearly pull Young back, shocking decision #cartel
Embarrassing and fans deserve better, time 4 officials to justify decisions they make. @HACKETTREF @RefereeHalsey

What on earth is going on with our beautiful game, VAR is not difficult to implement if implemented properly as per @TheIFAB protocol, the best league in the world is being undermined by PGMOL and its implementation of VAR

The death threats towards Michael Oliver are absolutely despicable, he made a split second decision, that doesn’t deserve the abuse he is receiving I no what he is going through as it happened to me and my family, let’s hope the police find these people and prosecute

I have to agree I thought it was a penalty the Villa defenders arm is an unnatural position and has moved his arm towards the ball knowing full well what he is doing

And people think it’s funny!!!! How sad
Just imagine being the ref at Portland u18s v Merley Cobham Sports U18s and this happens to you after the game
Trying to find out more about this and hope the lino is OK. This is yet another sign of how football is falling into an abyss of abuse and people
Want us to shut up about it.

Poor decision to rule out @BurnleyOfficial 2nd goal that was never a deliberate handball by Sander Berge,VAR should not have recommended a review with this incident
It is evident to me that the inconsistency of the VAR operation is spoiling fans enjoyment. The criteria of ‘Clear and Obvious’ is at the route of the problem. The theme appears to be ‘How can we strike out a goal’ rather than how can we allow it to stand.

IMO not a penalty, R9 is clearly looking at the ball just about to clear W23 comes in from behind as R9 clears the ball at the same time W23 initiate’s contact with R9

Absolute Nonsense
#CRYLIV – 71’
The referee’s call of no penalty for the challenge by van Dijk on Guéhi is checked and confirmed by VAR - deeming that the challenge was not sustained holding and had no impact on the play.

@FA have to be consistent when taking retrospective action Mitrovic has been charged,Shaqiri done the same to Baines Last week No charge !!
You'd think I'd stuck my elbow into Lanzini's face. Mitrovic has correctly been charged. My surprise is that UK tv didn't see it.

I'll never forget that weird moment when a referee was applauded at Goodison Park - when you ref'd the Everton v Everton game. Keep strong.

You have ruined so many lives, your organisation needs to face prosecution it’s an absolute disgrace how you have conducted yourselves, my heart goes out to all those people that have been affected by your poor administration

IMO it’s not a penalty, James Tarkowski has not made a challenge where is he supposed to plant his foot once the Italian player plants his,it is not a clear & obvious error var should not have even got involved they are not their to re-referee the game
Hi Stewart absolutely right pal that was not a penalty never mind a clear and obvious error. @RefereeHalsey what do you think?
