Did anyone else notice the linesperson on the long side appeared to look at his phone whenever there was a break in play for a corner by the Jimmy Mac and he was stood on the halfway line

If that’s correct perhaps he was allowed to have it, maybe a personal / family matter.

He must have been looking at it every time he had to flag for a throw too.

If that was the case, perhaps he should have been replaced, surely his mind wouldn't be 100% on the game

The game was live on TV if a linesman was checking his phone at any point I'm pretty sure they'd have caught it on camera and shown the footage to the world.
Seems a bit strange

Just a thought but maybe it was something to do with his communication equipment to the ref, VAR etc, maybe a battery pack be was having issues with or something?
I find it unbelievable that an official would have a phone in his pocket for a premier league match..

He was using a Pixel 8 Pro and was texting during the game.
There's nothing wrong with multi tasking.

I can sympathise with him - if your stuck on level 2842 on CandyCrush it's an absolute nightmare.

When he becomes a ref, he might be able to afford a Twix!
