       Newcastle v AFCB - Michael Salisbury

       Wore orange so started the game in missy bmb's good books.
       Took a very lenient approach to the game but I feel in the main
       was consistent with that. He did step up to the plate when
       needed though & the game was never out of his control. I will
       say though that I thought us very lucky to go in at the break
       with all 11 players still on the pitch and only Christie in the
       book. Christie got away with a YC worthy foul about 5 mins
       before he did finally get a YC, (2nd week running!) Senesi I
       feel also got away with one and did eventually go into the book.
       The penalty against us was correct. There was an offside as
       well, well player in an offside position is more accurate & it
       took a while to determine if he was offside in terms of an
       offence, which would have come first in the order of play, it
       was finally determined that no it wasn't an offside offence and
       therefore the absolutely idiotic shirt pull by Smudge was
       therefore a penalty. Utter stupidity, what player thinks to pull
       another players shirt, and it wasn't just a sneaky little tug,
       it was a full blown yank and hold it, in the penalty box with 24
       cameras and VAR... Rhetorical question but Smudge would be the
       correct answer *rolls eyes* I'd love to know how many times he
       has cost us a game with stupid acts like this, it must be well
       into double figures. Actually I'm probably better off not
       knowing! Love Smudge but he has that 1 moment in what feels like
       every game where he des something just so stupid. *sigh* Stats
       wise Newcastle topped us in every stat going but it has to be
       said we had the better chances and caused their keeper more
       issues, he made a couple of cracking and vital saves. Both ARs
       had decent games, didn't notice anything that made me tutt at
       the time anyway!
       Overall happy with team ref, perhaps more than Newcastle who
       might feel aggrieved about the lack of YC's. It wasn't just us,
       the blond lad up front for them should have been booked for
       delaying the restart for example. Both sets of players seemed to
       enjoy the freedom and left any silliness in the dressing rooms
       and just got on with it. Some lovely football from both sides
       and the +10 TAO in the 2nd half was an utter joy to watch.

       Agree with most of that bmb but would question whether the
       penalty really meets the threshold for VAR intervention. We're
       told that VAR only gets involved in shirt pulling at dead ball
       situations where that shirt pulling has consequence e.g. clearly
       prevents someone from playing the ball. Otherwise VAR would give
       a penalty at every set-piece. There was no prospect of Schar
       playing that ball so VAR shouldn't really be getting involved
       there.
       Also, blowing for full-time, when Bournemouth had won a corner,
       dead on the signalled ten minutes, when there had been
       substitutions and a goal in injury time was just plain wrong.
       How Premier League referees continue to make a mess of
       timekeeping is baffling.

       Good point about whether or not it met VAR intervention
       threshold. I have no idea to be honest, I suspect the day I
       finally fully understand what UEFAs IFABs version of clear and
       obvious is will be the day they change to criteria to something
       equally as baffling and unclear!
       I don't have too much of a problem with him blowing for time
       before the corner was taken, natural stoppage in play and a safe
       moment. 10 mins was a pretty good judgement in the first place
       but I think we will be arguing the amount of TAO forever more
       and when is the "right" moment to call proceedings to a halt.

       Seen a lot less given this season in terms of shirt pulling and
       VA|R interventions, and also seen a lot more not given. No
       consistency on what these incidents should be given.
       Makes a mockery when clear pulls have been ignored and this and
       the Man City one at Old Trafford were given on VAR review!

       Sadly not. Amazing ground to visit but your away fan wheelchair
       allocation is utter pants to put it politely and mildly! I did
       come up for one of your European games earlier in the season but
       was in the posh area for that one!

       Dermot made a right pigs ear of explaining this on ref watch
       this morning, just kept saying that's what he has been told
       rather than explain law.

       That's ludicrous bmb. There were clear stoppages within added
       time that the LotG require time to be added on for. He failed to
       do so. Thats an objective failure to uphold the laws. That can't
       just be let go because the ref fancied making his life a bit
       easier. If he can't get the basics right...

       We'll have to agree to disagree on that. TAO is always discussed
       after every game & never felt long enough & rarely if ever gets
       extended beyond the original minimum announced. We'll be having
       those same conversations every week until they take the time
       keeping away from the ref and use an actual time keeper. They
       are advised to blow in a natural break in play, which he did.
       He's not going to take into account how many corners we have
       scored from this season and whether that fact makes a corner a
       goal scoring opportunity for us & therefore not a good moment to
       blow.
