       This has been the worst performance by an official I’ve seen
       this season, and it’s pretty scathing when this is a FIFA
       official producing rubbish like this.
       Any contact in the box is resulting in a defensive free kick (
       or a penalty kick) which is excessively harsh, even when players
       are legitimately challenging for the ball in the air.
       The inconsistency in some of his other decisions is remarkable.
       However, Dion Dublin in the commentary box has been woeful. He
       makes Robbie Savage sound almost bearable!

       Have to readily admit this referee’s performance is as poor as
       I’ve seen at any level. The dreadful penalty aside, he has no
       rapport with the players, has an aggressive attitude and to put
       the icing on top of a very stale cake, any light bit of contact
       is penalised.
       Has no feel for the game and as a correspondent has remarked, it
       all seems very robotic and stilted. No natural aptitude for the
       game and I’ll be very surprised if we see this referee again.
       Not good enough in any shape or form.

       Reminds me of the type of performance you get from a volunteer
       on a day where no referee has showed up. Horrendous and
       inconsistent foul detection, constantly getting in the way of
       players. Feel like we might not be seeing him again.

       I would agree with you, however, I have a feeling UEFA and their
       observer from Malta? will think differently.

       Not the greatest showing from Mr Glova overall. Agree with most
       of what's been said, light contact penalised, even jumping for
       attacking headers - might as well outlaw jumping on that
       evidence.
       Three cautions - two for dissent and the other to Rico Lewis.
       Three situations in the second half after the TAA caution where
       booting the ball away went unpunished, including Lewis when
       belted one into the net, was half expecting him to show a second
       yellow for it. Didn't seem interested to card players for
       holding or tripping offences to stop attacks/break up the rhythm
       of play.
       The more I watch games in UEFA comps, the more baffled I become
       with the LOTG. And long VAR delays just make you fall out of
       love with the game.

       Think the only positive comment one could make on team referee
       performance is the on field officials wore black.

       I’m considering writing to trading standards, surely that fifa
       badge is deliberate misrepresentation.

       Don’t know what was worse, the referees performance or having to
       listen to Dion Dublin for 90 minutes

       Or do UEFA take a dim view of almighty Big Brother being
       rejected by the on the field official after an OFR, because
       that’s the sense and normality we are acquainting ourselves
       with.
       I cannot remember a single OFR being rejected by the referee in
       a UEFA competition (happy to be corrected of course).

       Our friend Mateu Lahoz certainly has correctly rejected at least
       one in the past.

       I thought it was probably a foul but shouldn't be a VAR
       intervention. More of a shout for the one by Harry Maguire.
       Really poor refereeing performance all round.
       The last few weeks have shown that despite what 'fans' always
       say 'English Referees are the worst in the world' and 'Other
       countries have no issues' is complete rubbish. Between this
       international break and the last European club fixtures, they
       are clearly no better than what we have.
