Adam…2022 World Cup Final was Argentina v France and I can
safely say that no English officials were on that fixture
despite what your archives say.

It’s now been 23 Gameweeks in the PL and we have not seen or
heard from/of Darren Bond at all, not on any form of
appointments, social media, etc. Has this ever happened for this
long before?
It must be quite serious, and I do feel for him, but I am just
quite concerned how he is nowhere to be seen, and his name has
been mentioned nowhere.

Congratulations on a highly efficient PL debut from Farai Hallam
culminating in a correct VAR review where he showed all the
required attributes of a top match
official…..confidence…resilience…strength of character. Two
experienced referees at this level chose to send him to review
his on-field decision of a non penalty and he correctly stuck by
his original decision which was refreshing and showed guts as on
most occasions the on-field referee changes his opinion when
guided by more experienced colleagues. His colleagues at
Stockley Park let him down as this was not a subjective decision
and had he not been so strong the outcome would have been
incorrect. On this showing I feel his career will go from
strength to strength and I hope it is not too long before we see
him again on the PL fixtures.

Agreed with you xRef probably easiest decision to make and stuck
by what originally thought, remember seeing him in NL few season
back at Kidderminster when the heed visited and thought he was
excellent then how was right I was, debut in the PL and great
one at that well done Farai

I don't mind the opinion on the rest of things, but it's very
incorrect to say it's not a subjective decision. It's absolutely
a subjective decision.

With respect I have not heard one person believe this was a
penalty kick and that the referee should review his
decision….not a good weekend for the VAR as he followed this up
with another penalty kick review when as the on-field match
official he did not show the same resilience as his colleague on
Saturday and was influenced to award a penalty kick to Chelsea.
Incorrect in my opinion but this may be deemed subjective.
