       Michael Oliver - Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth

       Has Oliver just rejected the VAR review? If so it’s about time a
       referee stuck to the decision and shows why is the number 1 in
       the country.

       They are saying it shouldn’t have been awarded.
       Will be interesting to see the highlights later.

       Correct or not it’s nice to see a ref not just go over to the
       monitor for the sake of it

       Unlike Michael Salisbury who has just ruled out a perfectly good
       goal for Newcastle on advice from VAR Lee Mason

       Good to see it happen in the PL, despite it going against my
       team!

       Correct decision well done to Graham Scott for wasting 5 minutes
       for no reason what so ever.
       Scott is by far the worst referee in the league, had a mare in
       the game he refereed and now this.
       Shame Peter Bankes couldn’t have done the same and ignored
       Attwell in midweek

       In the hierarchy of referees it is probably easier for Oliver to
       override Scott than for Bankes to override Attwell.

       This is why he the number one official!!
       Great decision on field, I don't know what Scott was thinking,
       but amazing from Oliver to reject it

       Sorry, but this looked like a 'Champions League' penalty award
       to me - ball struck with ferocity from a v short distance away,
       hands down - what was the defender supposed to do? Oliver might
       have been seen as 'courageous' to stick to his guns, but in my
       view, the decision was a clear and obvious error in the PL and
       I'm with the VAR on this one.

       I would question whether it was a clear and obvious error AT.
       When it comes to assessing the proximity of the defender and
       pace of the ball for a potential handball offence, doesn't that
       become a subjective decision for the on-field referee if he had
       a good sight of the incident which Oliver certainly appeared to
       have? Once Scott had checked the ball hit the arm (and not the
       shoulder for example), I'm not clear why in this instance he
       would press for an OFR (and I assume there would have been
       conversation with Oliver anyway).  Of course, there's always
       room for debate afterwards whether a referee made the correct
       subjective decision. In this incident, I wouldn't say the
       defender''s hands were down either and wouldn't it have been the
       movement of the body and position of the arms that likely
       convinced Oliver?
