Whats the argument though? That Nunez got away with a sarcastic clap while he backed off and Dalot didn’t get away with still gobbing off? Inconsistent as ever but it still doesn’t not make it a sending off.

it's the inconsistent reffing that is the issue, both are the same offence under the laws of the game but he let one off and sent the other off.

Typically clownish of you

I was replying to a typically clownish post, so swings and roundabouts

We don’t know what was said do we?

We can pretend though for the sake of clownish arguments.

I don’t disagree with dod but when you ref sometimes you can look inconsistent because not only do you follow the laws but also you ref to the atmosphere of the game and the time during the match and blah blah blah

 

[Frostie]

Do we know if Michael Oliver even saw the sarcastic applause from Nunez? It was directed at the assistant rather than him.

 

[Nick]

ref to the atmosphere of the game

That would just prove inconsistency.

To be honest, I’d much prefer refs who take things like the atmosphere of the game into account when making decisions, rather than ones who robotically reach for the yellow card every time in the name of consistency. And no, this is not the same as saying referees should just do whatever the home fans want them to do etc

one of the officials will have and they talk

also sarcastically clapping the assistant ref is still a yellow card

100% it is & he could easily have gone as well.
Quite plausible that the assistant was happy to turn a blind eye though given he got a booking anyway, who knows.

For all the cries of "consistency" it's quite frankly impossible. No 2 incidents are ever exactly the same & no 2 human beings react & interpret subjective incidents in exactly the same way. This is also why VAR could never work in the way they want it to.

Yep no question that for subjective decisions at the discretion of the official there will be inconsistencies
You’d hope within a league or level of referees that there would be consistent inconsistencies but thats the rub

Steve Cooper finally sacked by Forest. Not saying he should have been but they've been itching to do it for about a year now. Nuno not exactly an inspiring choice to replace him if I were a Forest fan.

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I can’t see Cooper being out of work for long probably Palace next.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's a victim of his own success at Forest in that he got them promoted so soon after becoming their manager.

I don't know what goes on at forest and who runs what , they've spent 300 million in 3 windows and are not improving .
Does Cooper pick who is signed ? Or is he strictly a coach , I'd say if he's the latter then the wrong person has been sacked , if he makes the signings then I'd say the right person has been sacked

It's the latter, he's just a coach. I'm pretty sure the recruitment team were sacked last season when it wasn't going well after spaffing £150m on a whole new squad.

I bet the Sunderland board are kicking themselves, would have appointed him if available instead of Beale.

I mean, are we really surprised... Outside of Liverpool (where he is some kind of hero), the guy is just a bellend.

The Liverpool boss says 99 per cent of his squad was fully vaccinated.

Brighton fucked around at the back and found out. Nice play from Palace to score though, lovely reverse pass from Hughes.

Hell of a header by Welbeck to equalise

Hamer on the bench tonight at Villa

It didn’t last long with Wilder then.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

VAR again being “very thorough” as the commentator says. Fucking hell it deflected off the defender’s face onto his arm, no handball, move on. Why take a minute to decide.

 

[no_loyalty]

Villa finally have the break through, it’s taken a while to breakdown Sheff United.

Assist.

Great play by Gus

Hamer asssist

 

[LastGarrison]

Really good goal.

Doesn’t look like the kebabs and shots have slowed Hamer down!
