Chiesa should start this one on the left. Gakpo is in a terrible rut. He can cut across the front of the defence forever, musket at the ready, and then choose to get out his ramrod (ooooh, matron). shove his projectile down the muzzle (noooooo!!!), (a loose ball can cause dangerous misfires) and fire a blank into the crowd. Seriously, Fede, who has always seemed diffident and glad to be getting scraps in the illustrious company, looked proper angry against PSV. Give him the first hour at least rather than the last 10. The officials: Darren Dazza England has the whistle and nul pwan for guesing the identity of the VAR for it is he.

Nor is it Neville's job (we know they get the officials' comms feed to tell the viewers what he is getting in his ear while the ball is dead.

From somewhere I got that we were outrun by almost 9 km on Sunday. Wirtz ran the furthest.

The videos have all been taken down where I am but Zoob’s post survives with audio captioned to identify speakers. From the Owen/Webb dialogue I heard I inferred that Webb would have given the goal but would never say so

I’d forgotten about delay delay and that will have been Oliver but the AVAR (Tim Wood) was credited with the “line of sight” comment when the first audio was shown here over a Reddit clip.

I think the voices sequence is AR screaming ROBERTSON x 4 and then shouting about the baw (it’s actually ball, cretin). Then the AVAR talking about keeper’s line of sight and offside. Only then do we get the dulcet Geordie tones of Oliver and “check complete”. I don’t think Kavanagh is heard. As Cobs and I chiefly never tire of banging on about it, the protocol should be set in stone and no shouting. They took minutes to persuade Kavanagh that he had made a “clear and obvious error” for the penalty. The disallowed goal was worthy of equal consideration.

Interestingly, the previously never considered AVAR. in this case, Tim Wood, is quite vocal and quick with his verdict on ”line of sight” aspect, a view that Oliver is happy to endorse with a “check complete” Shīt process lads, it’s still utterly shambolic

I’m abroad with no access to Ref Watch but I’m hearing that Dermot Gallagher said the AR made the offside decision. How can an ex PL ref not know (or pretend)that no AR has ever made a decision. Sole province of the onfield ref. There are now 99 comments on the decision(s) in Sunday’s game on refchat.co.uk with the issue of how many angels can dance on a pinhead still unresolved. Narky bunch too these lower grade lads
