       Whatever was said in the conversation between Referee and VAR
       before Kavanagh got to the monitor, I would have thought it
       unlikely, although just conceivable, Marriner would have changed
       his mind about it being a clear and obvious error having looked
       at various angles.  However, I don't know what statistics would
       show, but I suspect Marriner (and probably Atkinson) is less
       likely to award penalties than some of the other SG1 officials
       based on what I've seen over recent seasons.
       One can only speculate what the outcome would have been had the
       roles been reversed with Marriner as referee - and not awarding
       a penalty - and with Kavanagh as VAR.

       Just a thought but was the VAR sending Kavanagh to the screen to
       review a potential red for DOGSO?

       How do you work that out? Calvert-Lewin didn’t have control of
       the ball and there was a defender behind Alisson. He tripped
       over Alexander-Arnold and it wasn’t even a foul.
       An atrocious decision magnified by the fact that all concerned
       had adequate opportunity to correct it.

       Exactly. Until the viewers (and fans at the game in due course)
       get to hear the communications live as they do at the cricket
       and rugby then we're none the wiser as to what is being looked
       at and reviewed.

       It's really interesting how different people can look at the
       same incident, several times, and with varying degrees of
       certainty come to totally opposite conclusions. This goes for TV
       pundits, RTR correspondents, everyone I suppose. Here's my
       twopennyworth from having seen it on Match of the Day. I think
       it is by no means clear cut either way but I tend to the view
       that awarding a penalty kick was not wrong. I think VAR was
       quite justified in asking Kavanagh to review his decision on the
       monitor because there may have been some uncertainty in the mind
       of the VAR also. Kavanagh goes over to the monitor and his
       viewing confirms what he saw and in his opinion it is a penalty
       kick. I don't see why he needed to spend ages viewing and
       re-viewing the incident once he was assured that his original
       decision was correct. Also I see no trace of arrogance in the
       way Kavanagh conducted himself, rather an efficient way of
       referee and VAR working.

       A common complaint of the ref viewing pitchside has been, the
       length of time, number of views etc
       On this occasion it was done the polar opposite, yet still there
       is an outcry
       What chance does one have.......

       DCL would have most likely regained control of the ball with an
       open goal had it not been for the 'foul' and the other defender
       was too late getting back to have had any involvement.

       to stay on his feet and that final action took him out.

       Watch the video from inside the goal (around 0:57) - the only
       thing that causes DCL to fall is him inadvertently kneeing TAA
       in the head.

       This was a foul challenge.  It was not intentional but it was a
       foul challenge, by a defender, on an attacker within the penalty
       area.  So the outcome is a penalty kick.
       There was also a strong argument for DOGSO.  Had the foul
       challenge not taken place, then the attacker would have been on
       his feet and able to put the ball into a goal unguarded by the
       goal-keeper. There was a defender in the vicinity, but not in a
       position to prevent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.  The
       DOGSO "defence" that the defender was making a genuine attempt
       to play the ball does not apply and the fact that the contact
       was accidental does not prevent a red card for DOGSO (perhaps it
       should?).
       Finally, Kavanaugh's brief stint looking at the monitor reminded
       me of a number of time when we were trying to persuade a young
       child to try a food that they had already decided they did not
       like.  ("Just have a taste, you have never eaten it before, you
       might like it")  After the most tiny taste, the pre-decided
       conclusion is confirmed.  ;)

       Maybe referee thought game managjent wise they could not fully
       sell a red card.    Might not be that, just a random suggestion,
       Even when Riley or whoever confirm the penalty was correct,
       there still be a magnitude of folk who say otherwise

       What is the protocol here? Does the VAR suggest to the referee
       that they consult the pitch side monitor but the referee is in
       no way obliged to act on the suggestion ?  I suspect that in
       this case Kavanagh was quite clear as to what he had seen and
       was entirely comfortable in his award of a penalty kick. His VAR
       is a very experienced and well regarded referee, far more
       experienced than Kavanagh and therefore in due deference to his
       colleague, Kavanagh does take up the invitation to view the
       monitor whilst still being pretty sure about the rightness of
       his decision. A viewing of the monitor then confirms his view.
       If this is the scenario, rather than showing arrogance I think
       Kavanagh comes out of this rather well.
