    OT: some assorted clips from yesterday evening's PL opener, Brentford vs. Arsenal, handled by Michael Oliver [VAR: Christopher Kavanagh].

    3' - Tackle incident
    https://streamable.com/uq3eb8

    21' - Ball out of play before 1-0 goal? (APP?)
    https://streamable.com/62e75y

    31' - Penalty area incident (tripping)
    https://streamable.com/ts51ej

    54' - Deliberate stamp (if so, sanction?) or bad luck?
    https://streamable.com/hhl0l4

    55' - DtR management
    https://streamable.com/5ty6eh

    73' - Fair duel with the goalkeeper before 2-0 goal?
    https://streamable.com/l4vq5x

    77' - Challenge incident

    +94' - Penalty area incident (tripping)

      Thanks for the clips Mikael. I think 73' is the most interesting clip. For me it's a foul. What about you?

      Clear penalty in 31'...

    3. Chefren14 August 2021 at 12:23

      To be honest the incident in 31', as Euro Soccer Ref says, is a clear penalty and I don't understand why VAR didn't intervene.

      IMO
      3' Quite hard tackle, at least a strong public warning needed to put down a marker.
      21' Difficult to assess with the footage, I would support Oliver.
      31' Penalty for me; The defender clearly hits the attacker with a kick on the ankle and hinders him in shooting properly - this still is clear: https://ibb.co/f1Ytcvh
      54' The ARS player looks down and knows where he steps - this is a YC offence for me.
      55' In line with nowadays' DtR management (closing both eyes whenever possible), but, in fact, it's a deliberate action to waste time and should be punished properly.
      73' Actually, it's a foul for me. The attacker obstructs the GK deliberately with both arms around him so that the GK has no chance to defend properly.
      77' The trailing leg hits the opponent with a certain amount of impact, reckless tackle to be punished with a YC for me.
      90+4' No foul, the attacker trips himself.

      Chefren. It's VAR in the Premier League, that's why.
      They've said they're going back to that "high bar" nonsense this season.

      IMO

      03', 54', 55' and 77' are clear YC's missed.

      21' Is not clear from the angle to make a proper judgement so I support the AR.
      31'. Penalty for me as well. The kick on the attacker is clear.
      73' Clear foul on the GK. The attacker has no interest on playing the ball and just wants to stop the GK.
      90+4' No foul here.

    UEL play-offs appointments suggest that maybe some of these First referees (Schärer, Treimanis, Ekberg, Sánchez Martínez, Kabakov, ¿Guida?) are in focus for a potential Elite promotion in January/July 2022.

    Not the best Kabakov in the First half in Belgrade. He missed several fouls, missed one clear YC and gave rather wrong YC later. His best decision was to give advantage after handball prior second goal of Red Star.

    Very focused Zwayer in 1H of Slavia - Legia. Two unexpected cautions in 12' (LEG, reckless tackle) and 26' (SLP, reckless kick). The intention in both cases was to play the ball but the outcome was reckless contact. Phenomenal(!) warning to Boruc (LEG GK) in 39' after another time wasting during the game (and Boruc does that in every UEFA game this season). In 40' Lindsay Rose (LEG) could have been sent off for second YC but Zwayer saved him. Well, it was more SPA than not for my taste. Furthermore, rejected penalty appeal in 64'. No good replay but looked like an attempt to win a penalty. Zwayer let some incidents go in the second half (tactical fouls, unsporting behaviours) what was less impressing but no major things.
