[Dick Swiveller]

Send Gillett back to Australia. Incompetent goon wherever he is off or on the pitch. Failed experiment - we have enough incompetent officials of our own

It didn’t. We had a corner.

The whole reason it’s gone all bad tempered now is down to the officials

Penalty wasn't awarded though

 

[Ethelwulf]

Yes you can, wasn't VAR who told him its a drop ball.

If the game is stopped the rules say a drop ball as he had given a penalty and not a corner

Whatever went on you just knew we were getting nothing from this game

 

[British Bulldog]

We may have lost but our heads hold high.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I cant understand any circumstances under which that would be a dropped ball. Unless the ref had blown before the ball went out - which he didnt

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Sanchez there being as classy as ever.

 

[Bald Head]

Makes me feel sick ,refs are

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Just to clarify - Pawson gave the penalty - hence the review and drop ball as he stopped the game for a penalty.

 

[willalbion]

mind you. We actually scored from a corner.

Cheat cheat cheat

What was he sent to watch? it clearly wasn't a handball, when he gave the box signal after watching I thought he gave a penalty and was thinking what a crock of shit, even though it meant we had a penalty, so what was he sent to watch? and what did VAR overturn?

Edit, just seen clarification above, still should have given the corner.

The ball was out when play was stopped. The offence happened in play but can be brought back. The whistle was not blown while the ball is in play, therefore the corner must be given.

Ah! Makes sense.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He didn't award a penalty.

BBC suggests it was given

Did he award a penalty then? Even if he did the ball was already out.
