First use of the VAR monitor by an English ref:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50999391
<laugh>

Simply don't understand this need for the ref to go to the monitor, simply to preserve the idea that he's the one in charge. Basically every time VAR gets involved the ref is no longer in charge, and occasionally does overturn the on field ref (should probably happen more often). So if the VAR ref can overrule the on field ref for certain things, why does the on field ref have to make a decision on other matters, which will involve slowing the game down further?

Especially in that case, where the red card is absolutely blatant.
 
I detect an element of pessimism here. What's up. You're at the Lane and we've got to get beaten some time

You are in the best form of your premier league life and we have struggled all season and have a defence that my sons under 16s could play through at the moment, so the idea of coming against your strikers is a frightening proposition - So yes we will either win the luckiest 1-0 or lose 0-6

Son = Red card and three match ban. Arse = Nothing. <doh> It's even the same ref.
Had he arched his back and two footed him with studs to the chest and stomach you would have a very valid point there <ok>

As it is you just seem desperate to deflect from Son's nasty streak :emoticon-0100-smile
