Bit early to say but there seems to have been a dramatic improvement in the quality of refereeing this season, certainly around the awarding of penalties. Var still taking too long though, not sure why 30 seconds isn’t plenty of time to spot a clear and obvious error.
The Rangers took the throw-in which led to their winner at least 5 yards in front of where the ball left the pitch. The lack of a decent VAR angle for the offside goal makes the set up seem utterly amateurish too. At least Stewart questioned the non-penalty award for Saints on Sportscene. Intrigued by what the YW makes of it all but it felt like a return to earlier seasons’ norms.
Not sure how TYW deems Duck’s handball in Incident 1 as “accidental”…in my opinion he deliberately punched the ball in the net!🫤
