Except the referee had awarded a penalty, so he had to go to see he made a mistake. Edit to add: On the radio Warren spotted it was given. In other threads on this, others have said the video feed showed the referee giving it.

Five years on and you ask this? This is VAR 101. Intro to VAR. It's the basics. The ref isn't going over because VAR can't make up their mind. He goes over because they have made up their mind and they think he got it wrong. He goes over because officially he has to make the decision. It's why...

From the main camera, they look like there are made of that grey material that glows brilliantly when out at night. I keep expecting their kits to glow.

Because he gave the penalty, so play stopped at the moment of the alleged incident. Once it was determined it was not a handball, he had to restart from where the offence was wrongly given.

The answer to 3 is it doesn't matter where the ball is when the ref blows his whistle, it's about where it is when the offence he is blowing for occurred.

Warren thought their's was a penalty - the sort we'd be irate about if it wasn't given to us..

I don't see why he would go to the monitor if he didn't award it. If he did. play stopped at the point of the infringement, not when the ref blew the whistle, so it would have been stopped before the ball went out of play.

I listened on the radio and Warren said he gave it. If it wasn't given, there was no reason for him to go to the monitor to review it and say it's not a penalty.

Palace equalise. :( Defensive mistake, trying to bring it out, defender didn't really look and under hit pass back to a team mate that palace picked up and straight through on goal.

Sigh. Can't say I didn't expect this.

I like this one: While looking for it refound this one which was more about showing how formulaic modern country hits are:

Very apprehensive about today's game. Bracing myself for the worst.

Fearing a 4 or 5-1 to Chelsea. They got quite the telling off from Poch last week, and will want to make up for a bad performance, have had a week off to prepare. We don't win more than two in a row, injuries, tiredness. I feel it's all pointing in one direction.

6th to 9th

You know you have to put in extra work to compensate for the lost man. And perhaps there's an element of perspective - it seeming better, because the team with 11 think they don't have to bust a gut because they've got the extra man.

Let's give the new boys a hand.

I think I'd prefer going in to the final game needing to win. I always worry that there is less urgency or less drive when a win isn't necessarily needed.
