       > Only seen the highlights of this game, so can’t comment on the

       was Tierney thinking? I genuinely can’t fathom how he has come
       to the conclusion that they are pens. What has happened to
       ‘clear and obvious’? If neither of those pens had been given, no
       one would have batted an eyelid. They are so obscure, I honestly
       believe they wouldn’t have made the highlights reel.

       100% saying ‘thanks, but no thanks’ I’m sticking with my
       original decision of no pen.

       I was the same as you with just the highlights, so didn't want
       to wade in first and putting the boot in, especially with
       Fulham's history with Kavanagh, so waited to see what others
       thought.
       However, as you and others have said, I too have no idea what
       Tierney was thinking calling Kav over to the monitor. Were they
       'clear and obvious' errors? Absolutely not! But again Kav hasn't
       done himself any favours as still had the power to stick to his
       original decisions. The only silver lining is that they balanced
       out so had little bearing on the match. Not sure if Tierney felt
       pressured to persuade Kav on the second award as he realised
       he'd made such a clanger for the first? Not sure what the MOTD
       commentator was on about either!

       Jonathan Pearce is one of the worst commentators around these
       days. I rarely take notice of the drivel he spouts on matchday.

       He's certainly one that doesn't know the LOTG exist, let alone
       what is actually in them! Dreadful commentator.

       Pearce is certainly too full of roister and boister for my
       taste.
