Ridiculous!

Top 6 bias!

Were you aware that if they implemented this, we’d be in the ground for about an extra 25-30 minutes?

Apparently the average amount of time the ball is actually in play in a game is something like 62 minutes. Not complaining, just think it’s mad.

But its not difficult, Shirley, just make each game 68 minutes of active play e.g. The only way to 'waste' time is then by keeping possession.

That was a very strange call. That and the handball that VAR didn't pick up were bizarre. Having said that, I though the ref had a decent game. He could easily have bottled the sending off

I actually thought he was poor. Even the sending off was doubtful as it seemed that Welbeck cleverly trapped his arm against him and went down together. I was surprised VAR didn’t over rule it! Ed also had a blatant penalty not given. So overall not great

The goalkeeper 6 second rule pisses me off. If you have a law, enforce it. Otherwise scrap it or make it 10 seconds and enforce it - what is the point?

Your reading of the incident is correct and I also think Welbeck initiated what was simply coming together. However, VAR was only called upon to judge whether a goal scoring opportunity was denied. It was not used to review the foul as it was not a clear and obvious error. Accordingly the sending off is the correct decision. I didn't think it was a foul but in the nonsense world of VAR it doesn't matter.

And there's the rub.

As is the case with most examples of shithousery in football, we often quite like it when our players do it, but get enraged when the opposition do the same to us.

I’m never enraged with the player or the opposition. Always the referee for me, unless he sorts them out then of course they’re going to time waste if in the lead, like we would. But like Tuesday night, one team seems to get away with it for 70mins, we have 10mins of doing it and get a booking.

All this nonsense about stopping the clock if the ball goes dead, 40 minute half etc
Refs just need to grow a pair and, when they do, act fairly across both teams. It's that simple.

I wish the following would be immediate yellow cards;

Kicking the ball away
Standing in front of the ball as the opposition player tries to kick it.
Keeper holding the ball longer than 10 seconds - if has already been warned once by the ref about it.

There’s no plausible excuse for any of them. The players know exactly what they’re doing, and a couple of early yellows would stop them doing it.

Keeper holding onto the ball should be 5 seconds once opposition are at least 5 yards away from him otherwise a striker could just hang around causing keeper to get booked
