       the ball had been cleared and was in Burnley's possession 25
       yards out when play was halted. The players were treated and
       quickly back on their feet, however, play was restarted with a
       drop ball for the United keeper. Have they changed this since
       the start of the season and I missed it because play should have
       restarted with a drop ball to a Burnley player if the
       interpretation is stilll the same.

       Yes because the injuries happened in the penalty area and
       anything that happens within the Pa is now a dropped ball to the
       defending keeper.

       That's not exactly accurate - it's a dropped ball to the
       goalkeeper if the ball was in the penalty area or the last touch
       was in the penalty area, otherwise it's a dropped ball to the
       team who last touched the ball at the point they last touched
       it.

       > Agreed Dave. One of the poorest displays I’ve seen friend do
       in a while. I can see why friend has “missed” it - from his
       position it looks like a 50-50 which is what I thought at the
       time. The replays slowed down always make it look worse. Shaw
       just gets a touch on the ball which I think saves him. I think
       they have got the decision just about right.

       He pushed Pieters in the back before he even left the ground and
       then had his arms over the top of him.
       Believe me, Burnley very, very rarely get any favours from Kevin
       Friend, not that we expect favours ---just fairness.
       [/quote]
       Ashington - i respect you and your wisdom. IMO Maguire jumps
       fairly and wins the header, the Burnley defender doesn’t jump.
       Maguire has to put his hands somewhere for leverage and that
       means his hand comes on his back.
       Look at the reaction of Peieters- he doesn’t even appeal for it,
       which shows to me that even he didn’t think it was a foul
       [/quote]
       No problem, however, he pushed him in the back before he even
       jumped and several Burnley players did appeal and correctly so
       ---as was proved by the all-seeing, always 100% correct VAR
       decision. UNited did their usual best to referee the game,
       however, Mr Friend was wise to some of their tricks.
       I have to admit that I am just hoping that they may suspend the
       season because of the virus because it is getting tiresome
       watching the Premier League sniper turning up at all the grounds
       and doing so much damage to so many players. The two games I
       watched tonight had players going down when barely touched and
       they have only one objective in mind.
       They used to call it something which I am not prepared to say in
       previous years and I don't like it at all.
       [/quote]
       I suppose we will just have to leave it as two posters with
       differing opinions.
       I agree regarding the state of football as you have said many
       times on here which I have also many times agreed with. Albeit i
       did think Burnley were equally as guilty of the theatrics
       perhaps more so tonight, despite dyche’s repeated claims on the
       topic.
       Despite the terrible ongoing situation i do hope some sort of
       football continues just for my own sanity!
       [/quote]
       ajb --yes differing opinions as far as us two are concerned,
       however, as I have said many times, it is not our opinion that
       matters, it is that of the 6 people involved in officiating a PL
       match these days --surely they couldn't all be wrong? lol
       As far as the theatrics are concerned, please not that I did not
       single out any one team or player because there are so many at
       it, perhaps Burnley have been instructed "if you can't beat 'em
       then join 'em"
       Whatever, I do not like to see a player getting an arm brushed
       against his chest or shoulder in normal contact and he goes down
       clutching his face and rolling around, I am surprised that they
       manage to get up and complete the game. I definitely would have
       loved to see some of them play in the old Southern League in the
       1970s when I was involved. I can imagine the reaction of both
       players and officials to a lot of their histrionics.
       I have recently watched feeds of one or two Under 23 games and
       Youth games and the sniper seems to be attending one or two of
       their games too, although there are not as many instances so
       perhaps he/she is an apprentice learning the trade and is not a
       marksman yet.
       I hope that you manage to retain your sanity and can watch what
       you can, I am not a selfish person!
       Roll on the Super League and the NRL so that I can get a release
       from the quest for oscars. It certainly doesn't seem that there
       will be an early chance to attend any live football.
       In the meantime, good luck to all officials because the job
       isn't getting any easier!

       On the key incidents, I felt that Brady's foul was a DOGSO
       offence, initially I thought yellow like Mr. Friend but on
       replay the Burnley defender was further behind play than I
       thought. I would be interested to hear the VAR conversation, did
       they call Friend over because they felt he had missed a DOGSO
       offence but that this offence was mitigated by a foul beforehand
       by Shaw, or did they think it was mitigated by a red card
       offence by Shaw. In my view Shaw's foul was worthy of a red
       card, the contact point as relatively high, it was with the
       studs and there was significant enough speed at the point of
       collision. I was surprised that Friend didn't issue a red card,
       this is an inexcusable mistake with the incident being viewed on
       the monitor. The interesting thing that I would like to know is
       whether Friend went against VAR advising a red card or did VAR
       simply advice it was a foul that made the DOGSO offence mute.
       On the disallowed goal I thought it was pretty clear cut,
       Maguire has definitely gained an advantage by his hand being on
       the defenders back, pretty simple push FK call and a good call
       by Friend and the VAR imo.

       It was said in commentary last night that VAR had completed
       their check on a possible red card by Shaw.
       They then thought Brady's challenge was a red for OGSO but felt
       Shaw tackle was in APP.
       A bit of an odd one from Man Utd's perspective - it would have
       been in their interests for VAR to agree with Friend that
       Brady's challenge was only yellow in which case Man Utd get
       free-kick on edge of area and Burnley player is booked, whereas
       VAR thinking it was a red card challenge means Burnley free-kick
       on edge of other area and Man Utd player booked instead!
       Presumably Friend could have disagreed whit Attwell at the
       monitor and decided to show Shaw a red card anyway.

       However the Premier League explanation of VAR says that APP
       applies to "...a phase of play that leads to a goal or
       penalty...". In this instance they were looking at a DOGSO not a
       goal or penalty.

       Precisely the point i was trying to make earlier on in the
       thread.
       I can ustand if for example two fouls occur very close together
       that red could be over turned.
       Ie if man utd player that brady entangled with had handled in
       the seconds before brady committed the foul, but missed by
       onfield referee.

       Gallagher on sky thought yellow for Shaw and red for Brady.
       Halsey also thought this on Twitter. Both also thought maguire’s
       goal should have stood

       Well that is wrong then! As per the VAR protocol, it also
       applies to a red card for DOGSO (but not for Serious Foul Play
       or Violent Conduct.)
       of course what all this essentially means is Kevin Friend got
       two decisions wrong in about 20 seconds which isn't great.

       Actually, Halsey thought the Shaw challenge should have been a
       RC.  While he personally felt the Maguire goal should have
       stood, he argued it was very subjective and understood why VAR
       didn't intervene as it wasn't a clear and obvious error.  If
       Gallagher said YC for Shaw was correct, then on this occasion I
       agree with him that a YC wasn't wrong.  Perhaps of the orange
       variety, but the fact that Shaw did get part of the ball and
       also that the force of the impact was exacerbated by both
       players going for the ball at pace from different directions for
       me made Yellow acceptable. There was an element of coming
       together. If the Burnley player had been static, then it would
       be a different scenario, and I do fully accept that getting the
       ball doesn't mean it can't be RC.
