       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.
