They can ignore the recommendations that are not based on fact but I doubt that they are done like that. Take the Ronaldo possible sending off. Unless the VAR thought that there was a possibility of a red card, he would not have told the on-field ref to have a look but I expect he said something...

But the rules of football are not black and white and are not meant to be. Take hand ball - black and white would be that if the ball touches a player's hand or arm then a foul is given (as happens with feet in hockey). In football hand ball has to be deliberate and how that is decided (despite...

Which would be great except the Laws actually state: Decisions will be made to the best of the referee`s ability according to the Laws of the Game and the ‘spirit of the game’ and will be based on the opinion of the referee. You will always have differences of opinion, even between highly...

So commentators with no experience of international football/world cup should not commentate on international football/world cup? I don't think you have thought this through...

Well you can add in the punctuation police for a full house. Should be a capital for Nazis and a full stop after it. Full stop or exclamation mark needed after job. :dunce: :thumbsup:

You can't really disagree with the wording of the law as that's what it is. If you disagree with the interpretation that's a different thing and there are certainly pushes that happen all the time that are considered part of the game. The VAR must have decided that it wasn't an obvious mistake...

No, the laws say it is a foul if a player pushes an opponent carelessly (just a free kick); recklessly (free kick and yellow card); or with excessive force (free kick and red card). To me that was a careless push and therefore a foul.

Not while cycling but saw a pair of red kites over Ditchling last weekend; not seen them this far south before. While cycling the best was having a barn owl fly alongside me for a couple of 100 metres very early one morning and the hairiest was being dive bombed by a buzzard.

But whilst people continue to tip then the tips become an expected part of a waiter's income. What the service charge for large groups does is precisely what you are saying - it is the owner putting in a mechanism to stop the waitstaff's income from being at the whim of the customer. One...

But you're not really paying extra - you are just having the tip that you have already said you would have left formalised. You are only paying extra if you don't usually leave a decent tip. As Clamp said, this is about protecting waitstaff's income when the risk of low/no tip is not...

The Guardian covers a wide range of views, politically predominantly but not exclusively of the left. To say that it is far left and to back this up by citing the contents of the comments section is ridiculous.

Will people never learn... Ali to Stoinis, SIX runs, that breaks the shackles! Uses his feet then lofts high over long-on. A clean swing of the bat

I bought a Carrerra Fury after it did very well in a lot of "best MTB under £500.00" articles a few years ago. The problem with these articles is that they tend to judge on the quality of the new bike and there is no look at durability and reliability. The Carrerra needed its bottom bracket...

Yes,100% correct. Don't know how they managed to sneak so many into Elland Road last week.

Because in places without a service charge the waiters depend on tips for a good part of their income. If a waiter serves 4 couples it is unlikely that more than one or two will leave very low tips or not tip at all and there is a good chance that one or two tables will leave a larger tip than...

But only when both sides are monkeys.
