Maybe it’s a foul if given by the on-field referee, but we often let little bits of contact like this go to let a game flow. For VAR to rule a goal out for such minor contact feels disappointing 🤷♂️

I thought the referee was poor today. Her positioning was particularly bad, & she found herself in the way of play too often - & the penalty was very, very soft. But the Chelsea player stomps on her opponent’s foot here. It’s reckless, & a caution. #BARCHE

What about not trying to score a cheap goal when the keeper is injured? Morally, correct decision was made. A great example of the referee using common sense. See excerpt from intro to laws below. Gakpo trying to get a goal in this situation shows no sporting integrity at all.

It does seem like Cunha looks for his opponent then swings the arm - the defender doesn’t make much of it, which is refreshing, but this makes it look soft. However, I don’t know if this is my Wolves’ bias talking, but I don’t feel this was a clear/obvious error for VAR 🤷♂️

I’ve seen some crackin referees coming through the ranks who’ve given up. A lot, actually. They’ve got to a level where scrutiny has increased to untenable levels & figured “screw this.” We’re at a point where the thickness of skin is worth more than ability.

Would you want to be a Prem referee? 1000s shouting aggression at you whenever a decision goes against their team… Hounded by players with no emotional maturity… Publicly disgraced every time a club disagrees with a decision… What does football offer decent refs to stay?
VAR’s greater levels of accuracy is at the cost of common sense & great moments. A good referee reads a game & knows which decisions to give - VAR stops this. It’s tried to create black & white in a world of subjectivity, & it hasn’t worked. Scrap it, or change it drastically.
Mark Clattenberg left PGMOL highly disliked, then wrote a book that made him even more disliked. He talks about using his “contacts at PGMOL” - he has none. No one wants anything to do with him. He was a great refereeing talent, but it’s marred by immense levels of arrogance.
The self-entitlement in this tweet is astonishing. “We warned the PGMOL” Oh well if Nottm Forest warned them that changes everything! 🤦♂️ Everyone has refereeing decisions they disagree with go against them. Most of them don’t make official statements in response. Pathetic.

Another little known law for penalty shootouts… If a player’s sent off during the match or the shootout, the other team must also reduce their players for the shootout. So if Martinez was sent off, the other team must sacrifice a player. Imagine explaining that to a manager!
The fact that a simple application of the laws of the game creates news demonstrates just how poor general knowledge around law is. How can you criticise a referee when you do not know the laws they are applying?
This is getting so painful to listen to from the commentators. Over & over again about why Martinez wasn’t sent off for a second caution. THEY ARE WIPED BEFORE A PENALTY SHOOTOUT. It’s such a basic law of the game. How can you commentate on football and not know 🤯 #LILAVL
The commentators are confused why Martinez wasn’t sent off after being cautioned in the penalty shootout. FYI - cards are wiped before the penalty shootout. ATROCIOUS knowledge of law from the commentators 🤦♂️ #LILAVL
A referee can get every major decision correct & still be called a “disaster” by a bitter losing manager. This is why I don’t take such feedback seriously 🤷♂️

Gakpo acknowledged to the keeper he caught him but Taylor didn't do himself any favours during the situation
@werekickingoff This would be my take on it as well. In terms of sportsmanship and fair play I think he was right to do so.
@werekickingoff Seems sensible reffing to me. I’ve done the same at grass roots level. Fans are always asking refs to show common sense, but don’t like it if their team doesn’t gain an advantage from it.
Grow up. Even if he didn't who wants to win by scoring a sneaky little goal like that Common sense doesn't prevail in footy anymore
A bizarre incident in the West Ham vs Liverpool game. Anthony Taylor denied Cody Gakpo taking the ball away from Alphonse Areola in front of goal... Was there a whistle here? 🤔
@TheFreds People need defibrillators, people no longer need phone boxes. Not a hard one to work out.
Had my first observer report through today after running the line in the week. Genuinely over the moon with the comments received. #reflife #level7 #positivecomments #promotiontrail #football #lino
@jamiebennett_r @werekickingoff Blame the law setters for the ref not being able to change a restart after it has taken place. In this situation, the ref can intervene because a restart has not happened and he's concerned for the welfare of the player.
@YoTobyLFC @werekickingoff That's because it is specifically written in law that a restart cannot be changed after it has taken place. In this situation there has been no restart because the game wasn't stopped until the whistle went.
@AnfieldEdition There was a foul given and advantage played but Areola didn’t want the advantage. There explained
It isneeded as our referees willnot be considered for FIFA /UEFA matches. Our referees have a right to compete in Europe as much as the clubs looking to qualify for UEFA places. Knowing what I do it will be run very effectively with minimal game disruption so get used to the idea
can we have a real chat about how misogynistic football culture is for a second. people are way too quick to dismiss it whenever it’s mentioned. “my sister goes and she doesn’t face any misogyny” is every woman into football your sister?
Teacher: Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson! Student: Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok Administrator: Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”
Stats via the independent “Key Match Incidents Panel” made up of former players and coaches plus 1 rep from the PL and 1 from PGMOL. They sit every week to review key decisions and assess whether they were correct or not. (So the PGMOL aren’t marking their own homework).
@JacquiOatley Who decides its 96% accurate? Is that from the PGMOL or is that data sourced independently?
I joined Twitter 9 years ago to connect with Liverpool fans. Started to realise of late that there aren't that many of them on here. Just entitled, toxic idiots who have zero clue what it is to support a football club.
🚨Breaking News: It has been revealed that Simon Hooper, the referee for Saturday’s game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City used to own a Luton van. The Forest hierarchy are said to be furious about a clear conflict of interest and are demanding that he is replaced.
Hard to disagree.
@werekickingoff @TheRefereeForum I’ve seen some cracking ones given up because of the “feedback” by their assessors & mentors - ironically some of these assessors are some of the worst officials I’ve seen - blows my mind 🤯
@RyLee89 @werekickingoff Unfortunately your average premier league fan sat in front of his 60 inch tv with his four pack of Carling is never going to make the connection between refs lower down giving up and what he sees on his telly.
@werekickingoff Hold my hands up to say, when I was promoted the amount I was being asked for what I was getting just wasn’t worth it. Travel, early arrives, suit & tie, lead a warm up for assistants. All to be called a cunt or bias or something similar by wana-be Steven Gerrard.
Eight English PGMOL officials selected by UEFA for this summer’s Euros. And with perfect timing, Anthony Taylor and Stuart Attwell among them. Great response after Forest’s classless club statements.
