accies1874 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 McGinn's been really poor tonight - looks unfit and unsuited to playing deeper. Clarke's decision to play him as a second striker suits all of his attributes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just sat down so didnt see it, but every time a player "falls" with his arms up he should be booked. When you fall or trip naturally your arms go out downwards to break your fall, so anyone throwing their arms in the air is obviously diving. Simple. Some strike for a left footer there Greenwood, ooft. Edited July 9, 2020 by DG.Roma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played that way before for Conte at Juventus and was brilliant. Then when Conte left Allegri came in, tweaked the formation and made Pogba a number 10. Either way, play Pogba centrally and give him licence to be creative, get forward and he’ll excel. Edited July 9, 2020 by 8MileBU 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll no doubt be reffing a game at the weekend, the same as the VAR who missed the Sheffield United goal at Villa Park. For someone to watch a replay and say that was a penalty, and not a dive/foul by Fernandes/potential red card (I think yellow but I've seen people argue otherwise) is disgraceful. I don't even think it was difficult for Moss in the first place. I can only assume Bednarek wasn't sent off as the VAR thought it wasn't a foul in the first place, albeit they can't over-turn the decision in that case. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. Bobby Madden was on a podcast the other day saying he'd be for VAR in Scotland if the option ever arose but only if it is used correctly, I.e clear and obvious errors and not pish like 5 minute delays to decide if someone is a bawhair offside about 20 passes ago.

Quote Fifa takes over VAR management The Premier League will have to follow Fifa guidelines regarding the use of the video assistant referee after the world governing body confirmed it was taking over management of its implementation. The pre-planned move comes at the end of a four-year process during which Fifa worked with the International Football Association Board around VAR, which is now used in more than 100 countries. Although Fifa has declared VAR to be "a universal success", there has been confusion in the Premier League around such issues as use of the pitchside monitors. Mike Riley - general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the referees' body - limited the use of monitors to avoid slowing the game down. This went against the general guidance and the anticipation is Fifa will expect this to be used more extensively. In addition, rules around handball, offside and goalkeepers standing on their lines for penalties will all be dealt with through Fifa. I've said that all along. The English officials are the worst about. I saw this yesterday in a bigger article on the BBC. It sounds like FIFA haven't taken kindly to countries going rogue. There's been big inconsistencies between handball decisions for example (compare Serie A v EPL), and obviously use of monitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the achievement. To be fair, the referees got the decisions wrong in the first place. So not having VAR would have made no difference. There's always the focus where VAR gets things wrong, but less on where it gets things right - or where there are rank bad decisions that do not get overturned because of a lack of VAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
