You never see his hand go towards his mouth so he must have had the whistle already in his mouth ready to blow before play even developed.

Loads of people are saying this since Linekar's throw away comment. You don't see him blow his whistle because from all angles that were broadcast, he's taken out of the shot for a second as the ball moves out to Lansbury, but he blows the whistle just as Lansbury is lining up the shot, which was pretty piss poor.

Just a thought.  If the whistle was blown for a dive, why couldn’t VAR look at it to determine if it was a penalty or a dive?

It did, and decided that the referee’s decision was correct.

Yes, we can use VAR more effectively in an attempt to police Friend.

Or perhaps don't have shithouses like that on the elite level referee list in the first place. Put the money into better training.  As others have pointed out, his band of admirers continues to grow and grow.

Yesterday's game wasn't a fiery encounter between two rivals, it didn't need that level of intervention. The best refs are still the ones you don't notice.

Was it a penalty or not?  It shouldn’t matter if it’s clear and/or obvious.  VAR should be in place to assist unclear/non obvious decisions.

I actually think they're trying to have VAR delay games as little as possible as that was one of the big complaints during the women's word cup, but in doing so they're getting quite a few decisions wrong. I either want no VAR, or VAR getting decisions right even if it means numerous delays, this inbetween stuff at present is just pointless to me.

Just as VAR can penalise cheating, fouling ****** who play football, I would like VAR to penalise incompetent, wanker referees*who fuck up our days. ******!

I think you need two refs in the VAR centre for subjective decisions, that along with the referee on the pitch mans that these important and doubted decisions can be decided by the majority decision.

It could slow it down, but if we must have the system we have to do what is needed to make it worthwhile.

I thought he was awful. Kept letting dangerous tackles go unpunished. McGregor and Jack both should have been sent off. You shouldn't apply different rules just because it's a derby. In any other match they'd have gone. Very lucky that no players were seriously injured.

AS others have already said ....Currently it's pointless. They've tied themselves up in knots about when it should and shouldn't intervene and it means it doesn't do what it was supposed to do in the first place , which is to stop travesties and miscarriages of justice like that.

It's not fit for purpose and currently it's making referees worse not better.

As believable as that is, its a parody account.
