       Kevin Friend - Sheffield United v Chelsea

       So Kevin Friend misses a clear Chelsea penalty. No problem. The
       VAR decides it a penalty.. Well how Kevin misses it himself is
       beyond me... by anyways.. How hasn't the keeper been carded?
       Whether its yellow or red is up for debate, but no card at all..
       Shocker

       K A FRIEND - Sheffield U v Chelsea

       Surprised Friend didn’t produce any card for Ramsdale when he
       cleaned out Werner.
       I’m very surprised it also went to VAR given Eddie Smart had a
       fairly clear view of it.
       At least we aren’t talking about any dross from VAR “so far”
       today....

       I need to cut Kevin a bit of slack there.. He is on the halfway
       line so he mightn't have seen it.. His assistant should flag.

       From memory, he did look towards his assistant but then
       continued the game until the next stoppage because he did not
       receive a flag.

       It wasn’t a foul, friend made the correct decision.
       VAR however is a load of toss

       Agree with you both. Friend was, reasonably, a long way from
       play, it was a case where his assistant should have made the
       call. Fortunately VAR got it right.
       I was also surprised at no card, for me it was a yellow for SPA
       no attempt to play the ball, not DOGSO IMO.

       As with the Liverpool penalty against Manchester City, SPA when
       a penalty is awarded is no longer a yellow card offence.
