DGSO is only a red if no attempt is made to play the ball, maybe he was asked to check that. Not saying I agree with the decision, but only checking whether it’s red or yellow makes sense of the still frame. Unless the technology failed, it’s the only explanation.

Somebody (can’t remember who) said Dean was only looking at screen to determine whether it was a red card or not. Therefore he was looking at frozen screen to see who was around/where keeper was etc. They claimed that VAR decided that awarding a pen wasn’t “a clear and obvious error”, so he wasn’t watching footage over & over to decide if it was a pen as that had already been decided, just whether it was red or yellow.

Surely having got stuffed 9 recently they’d go all out to stop it happening again. Yet they just folded, didn’t seem at all bothered by creating that unwanted bit of history. I’ll tell you what, they were lucky there was only 3 minutes extra played, because another 3 or 4 and it would have been 10.

Couldn’t agree more. We need a couple of gypsies to bang a few heads. Too polite....

Too many son in laws again. The senior pros don’t front up when it matters, no on field leadership at all. Horrendous, we need to man up.

Why, he’s only the expert that’s paid to advise us on the rules?

Nope. Walton clearly said it doesn’t.

Please tell me you’re joking.

God, Rio being a cock Womble. “Confused” about the rules even after Peter Walton explained it clearly. If you make a genuine attempt to play the ball, it’s a pen and a yellow. If you don’t make an attempt it’s a pen & red. What’s so hard to understand? Walton also said intent is irrelevant .

If he fits into our wage structure & the length of contact suits us, it’s a defo yes from me. He’s done well since the move and is clearly good enough for our squad.

The Pap meeting Barry Sanchez with live updates, was one of the best threads since I’ve been on here.

What a load of old pony.

So the Lino got the offside spot on, and as the rules are drafted, so did the ref, but you’re saying theyre part of the problem? What do you want them to do, make their own rules up.

Linos are told to only flag only if they’re sure it’s offside, otherwise leave it down. He’d be in the shite if he’d wrongly flagged, don’t get me wrong, he got lucky, but it’s far far more likely that he was sure it was off, rather than the other way round.

As someone pointed out earlier, var didn’t chalk the goal off, it just confirmed the linos d3cision. No var, it’d still be no goal.

I’ve no problem with the offside, because he was offside. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read people on here bemoaning tight offsides and calling for close ones to stay onfield. Well,the Lino gave it and VAR backed it up. The handball however, was shocking. Shocking the ref didn’t give it in real time, and shocking VAR didn’t. Overall we were what we are. Average mid table side that gets beat if we don’t take our chances, managed by a guy a class above most of the players. Players are honest pros doing their best, so I don’t understand some of the clog they get after a defeat like this.

They haven’t seen reply’s . If it goes to VAR they’ll assume he’s made the right decision.

It was JWP’s error that led to goal. I won’t say “fault” because he’s playing out of position, but a proper full back wouldn’t have let Grealish get in behind so easily

Both Snap dragon & daughter got notified by text.

My snap dragon had hers 2 weeks ago, my daughter had hers 10 days ago, my dad last weekend, & mum had hers on Thursday. I’m 56 & I’m the oldest in my family not to have had one (daughter is nhs), that’s unbelievable really. Incredible how they’re rolling them out so quickly, they’ll obviously be a lag when the second ones are due, but at the moment it must have exceeded most people’s expectations.

Tim’s right, there was luck involved. Luckily 52% of us voted to leave the fuckfest. Anyone who thinks Cameron & his soft arsed Europhile buddies, europhile civil service & europhile parliament wouldn’t have thrown their all in with the EU vaccination program, is deluded.

When did this policy of not paying compo start, wasn’t Nigel in a job?

Two non EU countries leading the way.

Stand down, it was all a “mistake”. Lol
