At full speed and right in front of us in the South Stand, it fell into that "seen them given" "seen them not given"
I don't take replays and all that into account, especially as I definitely do not want to ever have to watch games ruined by waiting for VAR.
Keep it in the stadium with the team of officials. Give the 4th official a screen and a buzzer like the linos to alert the ref to come and have a look. In my profession, handing authority over to someone else simply loses the respect of pupils, keep it with the man in the middle and his assistants.
Pretty pleased there was no var last night. Pretty sure both our goals would have been ruled out. First looked offside 2nd handball. Probably we would have got a penalty for the challenge on Anjorin
and a closer look at the challenge on Kamara may well have resulted in a red card. But given the conditions it was a hard game to referee.
