I have been disappointed by Clyne so far, but reckon he should now be ready to start delivering. His first game was a shocker and his second not much better - but there was a clear improvement today. He has still got a fair way to go - but he is improving and that's they key. He also seemed much fitter today.

Really impressed by the strength of the Palace bench. Some very good personnel not even making it.

Yes, and it's a shame that that's the other 'ism that football hasn't addressed - after years of good, competant service as an assistant referee at this level, it's about time she was given the central role. She's earned it! You’re right but it won’t happen. Apparently you have to decide whether to be a ref or an assistant ref and you don’t ever then move to other role. So no Assistant Refs will ever be actual refs (in the Premier League that is) Edited by PA (07 Nov 2020 9.21pm)

..Bats is just inches away from fitting in as well as Ayew. Batshuayi is a deadly finisher but offers nothing else. Ayew is miles better and so is Benteke.

She referees in both the league and women's football at all levels (including internationals) so it seems it's just the Premier league that have a glass ceiling for women referees. If it's to be broken one day, I hope that it's Sian that does it.

Wilf, Eze, Jairo, Andros, great attacking potential. Why cant we do that every week? Dropping Dann for Cahill would be mad. There seems to be this idea Cahill is first choice. It is based only on his past achievements. A steady option if we have injuries but that’s it.

“Football is dead. Cricket is my number 1 now.” Cricket has had its equivalent of VAR for years and works well because the laws are sensible. 90% of the criticism directed at VAR is actually misdirected. VAR upholds the laws, and it’s the laws that most people don’t like. The laws say you are offside if your arm is off. The laws say it’s handball if the ball hits your arm unintentionally. Change the laws, not VAR.

Right now, whether they are right or wrong the referees in football are not allowed to explain why they made a decision, and VAR is not consistently being used, or the rules applied. The FA needs to change the rules to adapt to the times.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

It’s taken a very long time to get it right in rugby. Mark Cueto’s try that the French TMO’s took 4 minutes to disallow is still a travesty. There was loads of controversy about how many phases refs should go back through to. There were lots of complaints about how many and how long refs took to review decisions. Decisions are now very clinical with not much room for intention or interpretation. Much as the offside rulings and handballs have been harsh this season, they are consistent. One of the problems is that the authorities haven’t persisted with rules for long enough for the public to come to terms with them.

It is not the FA but IFAB who establish the Laws of the game.
