       C PAWSON - Burnley v Man City

       Pretty easy stuff for Pawson tonight.
       Good VAR intervention by Oliver for the red, although Pawson did
       put the yellow away initially which suggests he wasn’t sure
       either.
       Webb will be happy with the first game offerings.

       Routine game for Pawson got the early penalty appeal from
       Burnley spot on.
       Surprised he went yellow initially for the foul on Walker looked
       a nailed on red for me watching live.
       Thaught the VAR intervention and handling was done very quickly
       and smooth.

       The only worry for me there, and always has been since VAR was
       introduced, is that Pawson seemed too happy to be reliant on
       VAR.
       You could see from his reaction that he thought it was a red on
       first viewing, but seemed happier to go yellow and be overturned
       if wrong. If he believes it was SFP he should have gone red
       initially and stuck to his guns.
       Anyone more in the know than me aware of this is a directive
       from PGMOL to go yellow if unsure?

       Yep clear red. disappointing Pawson didn’t give it as I’ve
       always felt he has been one of the better ones in determining
       vc/sfp.

       One thing that I did notice was that both VAR checks Oliver did
       were very quick - with the new added time directive, I wonder if
       this means VAR officials are being directed towards speeding up
       the checks.  Either way, Oliver's intervention on the red card
       was spot on, as was his decision not to get involve in the
       penalty shout which Pawson correctly waved away.

       I beg to differ. Mr Pawson’s view was, I think, blocked by the
       defenders body but the replays clearly show that the defender
       had hold of the arm of the attacking player.
       Holding is still an offence and yet a FIFA referee cannot see it
       !

       You might want to check the current laws on that.

       IFAB page 99/100 of 2023 still lists holding as an offence.

       It does, but page 168 then further clarifies what holding is.

       And I would contend that having my arm grabbed while running
       impedes my movement, but concede that it becomes a matter of
       opinion.
