       Man Utd v Liverpool

       I thought Pawson had a good game. For his flaws in sometimes
       being too passive I do appreciate his ability to manage a game
       effectively in the background with minimum fuss. I think he
       along with Mike Dean, Darren England and Andre Marriner have
       been in the top few performers this season for me so far.

       First time in ages I have seen him, big improvement, good
       movement, calm, clear, confident
       Very good game
       Bar the Utd winning freekick.   Should have went to Liverpool
       Utd player grabs then rolls himself over the Liverpool player.
       Very clever.   But, i want ( expect) the ref to catch it

       Good Performance from Pawson, all Cautions spot on, he stayed in
       the background and contributed to what was an excellent game of
       football also played an  excellent advantage for the first
       United goal.
       I disagree about the free kick for the winning goal, admitted on
       first viewing I thought it was soft but after seeing the replay
       you can quite clearly see Fabinho knees Cavani in the back of
       the leg so for me a very good spot by Pawson.

       Free for united correct for me for the contact with the
       defenders knee into the back of the united players leg.
       One of those that can be seen either way though I feel

       I'd have to disagree with anyone that thinks that the free kick
       for the winning goal wasn't a free kick. the only thing I'd say
       is that it could have been a second yellow card.. To me the
       Liverpool player stands no chance of winning the ball and goes
       through the back of the Manchester United attacker.. I think
       once Pawson deems that a free, a yellow card should follow...

       What exactly would you be cautioning him for? It’s clearly never
       reckless and it’s not a promising attack as his back is to goal?
       I think it’s a soft but perfectly acceptable free kick given
       what is awarded every week in the PL... thought Pawson had a
       very good game.

       Mostly well officiated game, I thought Fabinho was lucky not to
       be sent off for kicking the back of Cavani's leg though.

       I am not a fan of Pawson by any stretch of the imagination but
       my my my what a transformation today kept in the background and
       let the game flow he appeared very confident got everything spot
       on
       is it just me or when Pawson thinks no foul he has started
       raising his hand and wagging his hand or finger very much like
       Felix Brych I don’t recall Pawson doing it before today’s game (
       not a criticism just an observation ) but if he continues to
       perform like he did yesterday he will certainly make a fan of
       his

       A really entertaining match aided by an extremely competent
       performance from Craig Pawson who appeared to have an authority
       about him which I had not seen before. Nailed on for the Final
       now I would say ( probably the kiss of death to his appointment
       ! )

       Like others I suspect, I've watched a few pretty dire PL games
       this season, but yesterday I saw two really enjoyable cup ties
       between Brentford and Leicester City for which I was a neutral;
       and then United v Liverpool when I was from from neutral!  Both
       in my view were well refereed and I was particularly pleased to
       see Craig Pawson put in a good performance.  As mentioned by
       dave26, I'd never found him completely convincing but since the
       covid break last season he seems to have developed noticeably in
       both confidence and authority.
       My only reservation about Pawson being appointed for the Cup
       Final is if it's another occasion with no crowd and without the
       full ceremony.  If they were to decide on a referee who'd
       already had a Final, I did wonder about Mike Dean, bearing in
       mind his disappointment when taken off the Liverpool final and
       the fact he is also having a good season.
