Tierney's been made VAR for Sunday apparently. Interesting move.
Awful news. I met him once and had a lengthy chat with him about refereeing, as I officiate at cycling Events. He was a really nice, friendly, intelligent guy. I felt quite embarrassed about the stick I sometimes gave him when he was refereeing. Which I didn't mention of course, he is a big bloke!Just read this about Uriah Rennie:

Shocking and hope he makes a full recovery. Great ref and character.
That’s PGMOL for you. Probably to save on travelling expenses, seeing as he's from Wigan.So Paul Tierney is the VAR for the Manchester derby. After that last crap performance by him they are inviting a shitstorm . Why put him there a week later.

The penalty against Arsenal yesterday was a terrible decision and cost them 2 vital points, if not for that and the officials not spotting the offside on Liverpool's winner in midweek the gap between first and second could have been only 7 points now
The fact is was a bore fest wasn't down to VAR but down to the poor quality of the football and the teams.It's a very soft penalty but if there's contact var not getting involved. The Liverpool one is never offside under the current law in a million years. Stupid as that may be.
Scrapping VAR entirely still the way to go for me, its killing the game as entertainment. Just keep goal line tech, accept mistakes sometimes, back to a fast game again. Nor like the 103 minute bore fest we played v Spurs on Thursday.

It's a difficult one, but in my opinion it should fall under "interfering with an opponent", but the way it's worded it doesn't cover it.I’d say that the revisions made to the offside law makes it offside and it’s exactly these types of situations they want to get rid of, as i don’t see how it falls under deliberate play. Through ball attempt from close distance to a player in an offside position, Everton player can’t really afford to let it go because he doesn’t know if the player is just onside and it’s within the box and would be an obvious goalscoring opportunity if he lets it roll past him. Yes, it’s not an offence in itself to stand in offside but the ball is played directly to him and his positioning forces the Everton player to make an attempt at blocking the pass.
Not sure how/if it changes anything that Jota gets the ball rather than it falling to Diaz, but i’d still argue it’s offside under the modifications they made.

Expect it to be completely glossed over or forgotten because it’s UnitedThat was surely either a red or a pen
There were other City defenders aroundThat was surely either a red or a pen
I'm watching that over again and Kovacic clearly kicks Casemiro's foot after Casemiro has touched the ball.
Neville immediately on comms, 'nah, that's never a pen', almost before the slow motion has even been shown.
Isn't it a bit weird?
Yeah it is. It shows confirmation bias.I'm watching that over again and Kovacic clearly kicks Casemiro's foot after Casemiro has touched the ball.

Yeah, I mean at the time I was not convinced it was a pen, but it took me a few plays after the game to realise it should have been. Neville just immediately dismisses it and they move on having barely looked at it.Yeah it is. It shows confirmation bias.
I live midway between Manchester and Wigan. I should have put in more expense claims when I was workingTravelling expenses from that part of the world can be significant. The road from Wigan's dear.

There you go, that should’ve been Silva sent off.
Obvious penalty to me. Casemiro gets to the ball first and it wasn't a ridiculous touch he wouldn't be able to get on the end of. Kovacic takes a running boot at his standing leg and decides to jump into him for good measure.Surely Casemiro penalty should be looked at again. About only place I can find is fan view from near me. I thought pen at time. Still looks pen from there.
This was a clear penalty by the way. Thought it at the time and had to laugh at how quickly the commentators dismissed it
United do that and it’s reviewed and then given, every time

Look at the one they gave against Hojlund in the same penalty box. Barely brushed Rodri yet they saw fit to bring it back 3 minutes or whatever it was.That 100% gets given if it was in the United box.
