       Barely noticed him. Has had nothing to do at all except a few
       simple fouls which were all correct 😃

       Yes he hadn’t had anything to do but he did well to diffuse the
       Anthony and Mitchell dust up in the first half seems to be
       enjoying himself I think the run of games he’s had in the last
       week or 2 has given more confidence with each passing match

       Watching in Oz having breakfast before work, the only negative
       so far for Rob is the Optus Sport commentator keeps calling him
       John Brooks!

       No blame attached for the penalty shout for the foul on
       mctominay no way could Rob Jones tell that he hadn’t touched the
       ball as the way the contact was made it looked like the palace
       player had played the ball VAR correct not to overrule Jones or
       send him to the monitor as it wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake

       home very happy!

       I think it is a penalty and it borders on clear and obvious as
       the referee can’t see it properly. I’m surprised Neil Swarbrick
       hasn’t called Jones to the monitor.

       Wasn't sure on first look at full speed, but from the replay I
       did think it should have been a penalty.  However, if the bar
       for clear and obvious is as high as some have suggested, then no
       real surprise that VAR didn't advise an OFR.
       United had a lucky decision on Saturday against City so they
       can't really complain about not getting one tonight.  And based
       on their abysmal second half performance they didn't deserve to
       win anyway.
       I thought Jones was fine.

       Same thing happened to Haaland on Saturday towards the end of
       the Derby. Almost identical actually but no Var review. At least
       we have consistency. They seem to not see it as clear and
       obvious if the attacker kicks the back of the defender which
       causes the trip.

       Last night that's not what happened because the attacker didn't
       kick the defender's leg as in the Haaland incident. Last night
       the defender tried to put a tackle in and played the man not the
       ball tereby tripping up the player.
       The only issue is whether the defender played the ball and the
       tv replays clearly showed he didn't.
       So we must have the referee thought the defender played the
       ball so gives no penalty. VAR deems it to not be a clear and
       obvious error. Surely on that reckoning if the player did play
       the ball but the referee didn't think so and gives a penalty
       then presumably VAR would not overturn the decision as it is not
       clear and obvious error. It can't be a clear and obvious error
       in one scenario and not a clear and obvious error in exactly the
       reverse situation.
       None of the tv replays showed the referee's positioning to see
       what view he had of the incident. As a further point where is
       the input from the near side AR as he would have had a perfect
       view looking across the field to see who played the ball (and if
       not what was he looking at?).

       Yes it can. Football isn’t black and white and two opposite
       decisions can both be not wrong.
