CL Real Madrid at home Tuesday 4th Nov 8pm

It didn’t impact anything in the end, but did the ref/var get the rules wrong with that handball/penalty shout? Not talking about whether it was a handball or not, but when he looked and said it wasn’t a penalty, do the rules say the initial decision of a free kick should stick?

For example if the ball goes out for a corner, and then var stops play for a penalty check. They never say it wasn’t a penalty, but seeing as we stopped it anyway, it actually wasn’t a corner so let’s change that to a goal kick…

Or they don’t check for a red card and say no it’s not enough for a red card, but let’s give a yellow…

I know it would have been controversial if var said it was in the box but actually it’s not enough for a penalty, so let’s stick with it being a foul outside the box… it would have been paradoxical, but am I right in saying that’s what the rules say should happen?

I don't think so, no. The game was stopped only because of the handball decision, so when it's determined that there's no foul, the fall back is a drop ball. Free kicks can be reviewed by var as part of penalty and red card decisions. Eg, player is sent off for a foul, var reviews it and decides it was a dive, they don't just cancel the red card and keep the free kick.

I assume the conclusion of the ref was that the incident was in the box, it clearly was, but that it wasn't handball, so he can't be forced to go back and accept his original incorrect decision. It just becomes like any VAR penalty review where it's determined that there wasn't a foul; a drop ball.

He created 5 chances also.

Dewsbury - Hall

I was being facetious.

Just saying that working hard means nothing if there's nothing meaningful from it, especially if that's your role.

But five chances is excellent, even if they aren't direct assists which are a reflection of the player tasked with finishing them.

Everyone loves Sturridge.

Never realised that DS was quite so tall. I know he was a bit close to the camera, but he towered over the other presenters it seemed. A quick google shows he was 6'2

He uses a step behind the presenters desk.
