       Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace- Darren England (VAR Rob Jones)

       Apparently the VAR review which was rejected by Darren England
       took 4 mins, ridiculous. If it takes that long it’s not clear
       and obvious.
       However, it looked to me like the player may have just got the
       ball before he got Watkins. I have only seen one angle shown on
       highlights though. England has a habit of soft penalties.

       Not convinced by the penalty at Villa park. Looks like Watkins
       kicked the defender to me. The fact England spent over 3 mins at
       the screen proves how much doubt there is over the decision
       Side note: best wishes to palace manager Roy Hodgson who was
       taken ill before the game

       Richards caught Watkins first and then played the ball with his
       other leg.
       England gave the penalty onfield, the var asked him to review,
       watching him look at the screen i was pretty sure he would stick
       by his original decision he didnt look convinced to change his
       mind.
       Many people have asked for a referee to be called to the screen
       in circumstances of doubt and when he is and sticks by his
       original decision as he isnt convinced by the replays he is
       shown to overturn his original decision criticism is made about
       how long it takes.
       Dont think it was clear and obvious to send England to the
       screen, but i guess that is just two referees with differing
       opinions seeing things differently.
       The pundits on the radio seem to think England was right to
       stick by his original decision.
       Best wishes to Roy Hodgson for a swift recovery.

       I think the defender gets a very small touch on the ball
       initially. Not a clear and obvious error however, I think soft
       penalty but right to stick with call

       I think a penalty is a hard sell here when VAR has given the
       option to see it again.The play on the ball is so clear, the
       expected decision is a good tackle, and any light touch on the
       player before the ball would technically be a foul but is never
       normally given.
       Other observations (not match changing like the penalty!):
       - England never seems happy or relaxed to me. Far too tense and
       never seems to be enjoying his work.
       - Regardless of the PK decision, the subsequent attacker
       encroachment was as blatant as you’ll ever see and should’ve
       been a retake. The defenders spotted it and understandably
       reacted. Why do referees at pro level make such a protracted
       song and dance of setting up a PK, if they then ignore blatant
       offences?
       - usual moan about colours. Any other colour ref kit wouldn’t
       clash with the black of one GK. Why not yellow/orange?

       We will have to disagree then because I actually think he plays
       the ball first, Watkins leaves his leg in to make sure he gets
       caught so it looks like a penalty from behind. England was too
       far away IMO to make a clear judgement

       Hopefully we'll get to  hear the full audio in Webb's next VAR
       show as it would be interesting to hear a conversation where the
       referee sticks with their original decision - although it sounds
       like that might take up half the programme!

       I've watched that one a few times and I honestly can't make my
       mind up as one angle I think the ball gets nicked first, one I
       think there might be a play on the man first.  I'm not saying
       that England was definitely right but I'm glad he stuck as I
       definitely wouldn't be convinced he was right had he changed it.

       For me the defender comes through the player to get the ball.
       There might be the very slightest touch on the ball before he
       touches the attacker, but that doesn't mean it isn't a foul.
       When he makes the obvious contact on the ball he has come
       straight through the attacker's legs.
       I watched this with my non-referee mates on MoTD this morning,
       albeit after a very heavy night out the day before, and they all
       said it was a clear penalty.  And they are normally all over me
       on WhatApp when what they think penalties that are soft are
       given.
       Regardless of the right outcome, not really sure why Rob Jones
       is recommending a review.  Can only assume that he has asked
       Darren England whether he saw the defender playing the ball,
       he's said no so has been asked to go and have a look.

       What on earth was VAR Jones doing to get so involved??? England
       looked annoyed and frustrated … it was never clear cut no pen,
       so no need for him to get England over!! This what fustrates
       people.
       England correctly turned Jones down.
       Jones is best served imo trying to not drop further down the
       pecking order, I feel when Webb took over it might of took the
       handbrake off Jones but imo still doesn’t convince me as someone
       up to elite level.
