Or Trafford moved 7/8 yards in to Adebayo? He was moving in the direction of goal anticipating a cross, Trafford comes in to the attackers space Have you actually watched it? “He was moving in the direction of goal anticipating a cross” No he wasn’t. He had his back to the cross, never looked at th...

The thing is he doesn't have to, it's a tactical block he doesn't have to move out of the way it's his space as much as it is Trafford's.

But he makes a deliberate move into that space with one intention only. Tho block Trafford from getting to the ball. No other reason.

He went down easily because he'd misjudged the flight of the ball, it was so obvious he was no where near it. If he made a genuine attempt to get the ball and the player fouled him VAR would have stepped in. Trafford had not misjudged the flight of the ball. His eyes were on it the whole way. He ha...

I love how City fans, when you bring this up. Ask you to name one rule they’ve broken?

Then just accuse you of jealousy.

Howard Webb waffled on there for 5 minutes and said sweet FA.

Also mentioned on Ref Watch was the opinion of Shay Given ( goalkeeper) who thought it was keeper error and not a free kick

Just for balance of course

Also mentioned by Danny Murphy, if that had happened to Shay Given, he’d be the first demanding a foul.

But the on field referee hasn't seen all angles.

Correct, we go with the refs best guess, from one angle. Even If that one angle suggests it might not be a foul, but 4 other angles suggest it is a foul, therefore an error. But no, we go with our mate.

Would this be the FA’s ideal 20 team EPL?

Manchester United
Newcastle
Wolves

Fulham
Nottingham Forest
Leicester City
Everton
Leeds United
Ipswich or Norwich

Just another instance were the laws of the game have been changed to facilitate VAR.

Blocking someone is not against the rules Stalban.

As PGMOL explained, it was a coming together of two players.

I’s that the same has the coming together in the Man U v Wolves game, the one Howard Webb had to apologise for?

Or the Tarkowski one that got a goal disallowed?

Loads of thing's to think about:
1) if no VAR - it's a goal

Not it’s that straight forward. The ref might not have been sure so hoped that VAR would sort it out.

Or without VAR, he could’ve backed himself more and disallowed the goal.

I don’t take football seriously anymore. VAR as killed everything football use to be. I went to my second ever live game 54 years ago today, Bury 8-0 Tranmere. If I was that 8 year old now, I don’t think I’d be interested in football at all. In fact, this 62 year old, isn’t far off not liking footba...

Just to be clear: 1) I dont want a non contact game. 2) Iam not necessarily defending how soft it appears the game is, nor how soft the red card may be last night. What Iam stating is that the rules are black and white. Refs and VAR and micro scrutinised and if they don't follow the rules then they...

Funny thing is, VAR is the only thing keeping me interested in football. It’s a bit like the “out-takes” after a boring movie.

I’ve no idea how anyone who understands football can’t see that is deliberate handball everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays.

How do you get a better view of a referee watching on tv given he’s rarely on screen?

Except Robert Jones of course. Whose main objective is to have his gelled up crew cut, and smug fizzog on screen most of the game.

If it doesn't involve Burnley I'm just not fussed about watching top level football anymore.

It's amazing that people believe such rubbish..... And then post it on here, where several others will believe it, and before you know it, it's a fact.

It was on the tinterweb, so it must be true…. Surely!

Visiting team tactics. Just wait around the halfway line and watch them spend an age passing it across their own area, sideways sideways and back again.

Bit of an over reaction. If not for the point reduction Everton would be on par with Brighton in the table. Anyone expecting a result against them is expecting too much.
