A side effect of var is that the standard of on field officiating has got worse. Assist refs don't keep up with play and refs guess at decisions on field. VAR got 50% wrong. Gordon's 1st 'pen' wasnt a foul anywhere else on the pitch. VAR gave outside the box as less controversial.

Sadly he didn't pick up that var failed to even stop and check the foul in the newcastle box that should have been a pen. Rooney had it right that var did the basics because Pawson so poor. Dubious that there was a foul for the free kick newcastle did get a pen from too

Just how good is the food when it's not sodexo doing the catering. Well done fo Sussex for bringing it back in house

It's an easy decision and less controversial to give a second yellow especially as so many factors go against it being DOGSO. Similar situation as Guehi where the second yellow should have been a straight red.

Very happy. Just beaten a below average lower half premier league team who didn't manage a shot on target from open play, but still have a fan base of entitled non attendees who are deluded enough to believe that they're on the cusp of turning it round and think refs have an agenda against them

So the 1st sentence is the key part. You now accept it wasnt a red. Glad to have helped you, as a writer, to have the evidence required to correct your earlier statement.

He wasn't the last man for a start. Second you're quoting a rule that isn't a rule..DOGSO requires it to be a clear goalscoring opportunity. It wasn't. I was at the game , you weren't and probably have never been

Show you don't know the rules without saying you don't know the rules!

You can imagine the post match press conference where all the tell take signs will be there a) teeth sucking b) trust the process/it is what it is c) it's a tough place to go (yes graham, but it's your home ground!)

That kind of pressure is normally exerted from the boardroom surely?
