It’s an interesting theory. Slight concern. Against that, we don’t know who is leaving yet and a few of the signings are future-proofing us against sales in seasons to come.
We’ve said in the past that sometimes opportunities present themselves in the market that you don’t expect. I wonder if...
I can't remember if the flag eventually went up at the time. If not I suppose they can justify its inclusion but pretty stupid really as at least one player was visibly miles offside. It would never have survived a VAR check if it had gone in.
You need to watch the replays again. Dunk brings his left foot through at which point it goes underneath DCL's foot.
They're touching each other, which is the definition of the word 'contact'. Give my winnings to charity if you like ;)
For the millionth time, I'm not saying it was definitely...
That's pretty much how VAR has worked since the second season. In the first season, the pitchside monitor wasn't used. Since then, they've always asked the ref to have another look. "Referee's call" as Howard Webb said he wants it happened in the West Ham game. A lot of people will say it was...
I know, as Dunk brought his left foot through. From the referee's angle it probably looked very much like Dunk swept his leg away and if Dunk hadn't made that movement, DCL probably wouldn't have stood on his foot. So, in my opinion, while it may have been an error, it wasn't 'clear and...
If you read my posts, you'll see all I actually was saying initially is that VAR didn't implement the idea of "referee's call", despite making a lot of noise this week that this was the new high bar being set this season.
There was contact, because the players touched as both lunged for the...
With regards to 1), based on the real-time commentary - they were listening to VAR - I suspect he was called to the monitor for the wrong reason (no contact), but they got off the hook with the angle that showed his foot slipping on Dunk's leg. Anyway, we won. They didn't ref it as they said...
