That's not what I asked. Could the referee have gone over to the monitor of his own accord to check out what he was being told by the Chelsea players, without any invitation by The Complete and Utter one?

No. And rightly so. Players surround the refs enough. The games would never end if this was allowed.

If Chelsea fans rate Anthony Taylor as incompetant, thben obviously they haven't come across the likes of Kevin Friend, or Jon Moss very often.

The ref should be able to ask VAR for something specific such as Has the defender commit a foul? Is that a penalty for unsporting behaviour?
Yes, you'd like to think so, wouldn't you - but I've been told very firmly further up this thread that the idea is absolute bollox and can't be allowed!

I don't watch much rugby but their use of the TMO is superb. The onfield ref makes all the decisions and refers scenarios to the TMO with a specific focus suggesting the ref is in control throughout.
I do feel that since the introduction of VAR the assistant referee's have made much less of a contribution to matches than they used to or than what I'd want them to. Many leave decisions to the referee and VAR
Yes, I think it's an absolute fact that you, me, or most random posters on NSC, could make a better job of implementing VAR than the PGMOL or the EPL!

Seems he's getting a bit of a pounding at Chelsea at present. Some questioning his quality, being subbed and dropped for champions league game?. Apart from the loads of dosh he's earning is the grass greener?

Given Chilwell came on and scored and assisted the winner he’s unlikely to be playing first team football as a starter until Chilwell gets injured or loses form. Price of being at a big club with options as good as if not better than you. Their fans also turn on players very quickly
Won’t help his world cup chances if he doesn’t get his place back quickly either, staying here almost certainly would have

No, he's a palace troll. He'll make posts along the lines of 'NSC cliques, accused of being palace' blah, blah, blah.

Tough crowd, new team mates different manager and only played a handful of games. Not that I give a shite.
