Re Argyle pen not given - I heard it was thought it hit Watts in
the armpit. But I was equally resigned. On the flip side, Mayor
seemed to be pushed over in the box near the end, but no
evidence of a VAR review.
Gillet’s live verdict in a strong Aussie accent made me think
for a moment I was watching an umpire review in a test match !

I cant see how that hit his armpit at all. Clear forearm for me
- should have been a pen.

Am I missing something or are they giving access to VAR audio
now?

IMO, Michael Oliver's award for Leicester was dubious to say the
least. Oliver's positioning is exemplary, but for me, sometimes
he is too quick with the whistle.

I thought he was quick on the whistle on a couple of occasions
when a (potential) advantage could have been played. That said
he did play some good advantages as well. Didn't have a problem
with the penalty having seen the replays. It looked like a clip
on the ankle from behind, which is often not as easy to spot as
the trip in front of the attacker's leg. For me, it was
significant that the offender showed no dissent and from his
expression he looked resigned to the decision.
There might have been another couple of YC's, but with the
morning's snow it couldn't have been the easiest surface despite
the pitch looking in decent condition. Maybe Oliver took that
into account. Overall, I felt he refereed an entertaining game
well.

My understanding was that the tv commentators can hear what the
VAR says but not the referee. Both Sky and BT have mentioned
this. In this instance, I just wonder if someone pressed a
wrong button and the VAR comments were broadcast by mistake.

But this is why a little bit of audio from the var (it doesn’t
have to be the whole Convo with the ref it can be as the final
decision is being madel) would do two things. It would help
explain why a decision has/hasn’t been made and secondly it is
likely to make fans more aware of the actual laws. When Jarred
said green zone you now know why it wasn’t awarded as a penalty
and it takes away the doubt. I doubt fans know about green zone
but if they heard that they are likely to know and fans will
have a better understanding. It works in other sports that has
technology so why won’t it work in football.
