I assumed it had gone, why do they not enforce it?

As above, still there but I know refs have been advised against enforcing it as it is felt that the punishment (a free kick inside the penalty area) is too severe.

In truth, 6 seconds really isn't very long, especially if there was a crowded penalty area after a set piece or similar & so advice is usually just to warn them. In my opinion, when it is clearly an act of timewasting though then fine, allow them 1 warning but then enforce when it is clear that they are massively exceeding it intentionally.

I'm all for referees being allowed some flexibility, but straight up advising refs to ignore some laws because you personally disagree with the punishment is bizarre and clearly a sign of something going badly wrong higher up the chain of command.

Guess that's to help offset their consistent FFP breach

Should we be worried at all that our new exec chap is coming from Forest?!

Not really, I doubt he'd had a great deal to do with transfers

The story on Forest in the Athletic is amazing.

That is mental if true.

Forest's defence really is a technicality though - their behaviour in signing 30 odd players in less than 18 months does not show somebody bothered about compliance with any PSR. If they were given dispensation to retrospectively include the sale of Brennan Johnson in their calculations, surely the same rule would apply to any signings they made in August.

The whole thing is getting a bit weird now.

Palace battered 5-0 by Arsenal, Cooper probably incoming very soon.

Had to be Toney scoring for Brentford didn't it.

Inevitable really.

What are the Brentford fans doing celebrating like this the Leicester fans must be livid.

Couldn't cut it in Spain but scoring on his debut in 'the best league in the world'?

Definitely a penalty.

Has to be a red this, he dived in two-footed by the look of it

Tommo1993 · Jan 21, 2024

Oooh. Would be surprised if not.

Cheylesmore ITK · Jan 21, 2024

That's a nailed on red card.

no_loyalty · Jan 21, 2024

Same challenge as on Bidwell last weekend.

SkyBlueSoul · Jan 21, 2024

Ticked every single box. Jumped in two footed, off the ground, straight legs, studs up, none of the ball, onto the players leg.

Nick · Jan 21, 2024

Didn't the ref only book him originally?

They really far too much on var

Grendel · Jan 21, 2024

Penalty - really?

Wyken Sky Blue · Jan 21, 2024

Ffs, my stream died after the red card and I assumed that was game over so didn't bother watching the rest

TomRad85 · Jan 21, 2024

I'd really hate it if these, or any of the bottom 3 really, but especially these, stayed up due to points deductions. They are fucking dire.

That ref truth be told doesn't have a very good reputation when it comes to VAR.

Brighton Sky Blue · Jan 21, 2024

Thrilling game so far

Need to consider the timing of it all really and when, could impact us/everyone.

How did he manage to avoid scoring a single goal in 14 appearances for Villareal? You'd think he would have fluked one in eventually. They've scored 28 goals so far this season as well.

West Ham bringing Kalvin Phillips in on loan. If they can get him up to speed then him, Soucek and Ward-Prowse is a strong midfield 3.

Edson Alaverz is already a brilliant defensive midfielder
