    Non intervention for potential SFP in Liverpool v Everton is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. Beyond belief

      Completely agree. Not in control, excessive force

      I very much doubt Howard Webb and PGMOL will agree with the decision, but can't say I'm surprised by this mistake. English football has blatantly disregarded and defended potential leg breakers before (Lisandro Martinez two-footed challenge against Crystal Palace and Christian Norgaard's red card against Everton overturned after appeal are just two of them). The culture around player safety was always going to lead to situations like this

      VAR is Paul Tierney, not someone inexperienced. Interestingly, his next game as VAR is the Manchester derby on Sunday

    Intense start for Munuera Montero in Atlético vs Barcelona (Copa del Rey SF 2nd leg), early YC for Azpilicueta upheld after OFR. Didn't expect a VAR intervention to take place, but neither that Munuera Montero would keep the YC.

    Arguments for both RC (studs contact in opponent's calf) and YC (not full contact, Raphinha's foot also in the air)

      Unexpected VAR intervention. Correct YC issued live by Munuera Montero (who by the way was very weak in Deportivo Alavés - Rayo Vallecano last weekend!). Would be a clear RC offence had it been an attack on the standing leg. It wasn't the case here, so strange that Martínez Munuera decided to jump in.

      RC: studs, high contact, full impact, defender coming from behind, force, malice.. what more??

      YC: only leg on the air

    IMO very good performance by Munuera Montero today

      Under technical aspect it was indeed decent but he has no acceptance among players and the way he issued a YC to Baldé was a great illustration of being out of control to be honest. I don't understand why CTA ordered(?) their referees to not communicate with players - mostly even no warnings, just the card / no card mode, no explaining, no chats, etc. for some (long) time.

    C.Aydin had very challenging Intercontinental derby .

    Plenty dirty moves,plenty controversies snd some var stuff.

    Clear penalty not whistled in favour of Galata,var intervention
    Offside turned into a goal in favour of Fener
    Penalty appeal by Fener rejected
    Last seconds penalty appeal by Fener rejected

    Some tensions were there between players and even coaching staff,9 yellow and 4 red cards in 2nd half.

    So he will be talking point in Turkey for sure this week.

    Liverpool Everton. Barrott (VAR: Tierney)
    Second half not much simpler than the first. Foul detection was inconsistent. Couple of talking points...
    57' Goal correctly awarded. Some talk of offside, but Diaz not active when in an offside position, assessed well by AR1.
    86' Barrott sees if an advantage, then whistles, but Nuñez plays on. The initial foul given as FK only (possible reckless), then a clear kick from Pickford on Nuñez ignored long after the whistle. Nuñez correctly cautioned for DtR (rolling back on the pitch for treatment), but Pickford rather lucky to not receive at least a caution.
    Barrott seemed a very interesting appointment for this game. The reverse fixture was only 7 weeks ago, where Oliver had a poor game that ended with four RCs after the final whistle. To after that, then put in arguably the least experienced PL official, despite him being in good form, seemed odd from the PGMOL, and I don't think the risk paid off, even if he was himself failed by his experienced VAR. A rethink in approach for this fixture required for next year

      Really sorry for the leak, but absolutely deserved if confirmed, I expected him in Bayern - Inter, this is even something more.
      However, one could have expected a committee member with him as this point, while the observer in London for this game is Tritsonis. Maybe committe considers this one as pinnacle of this season and they are already satisfied with whatthey have seen from the Bosnian so far (and one can agree with this reading).

      Well, a better management between UEFA and Bosnian federation was possible, informing that referee would have been busy with that game in Champions League. I don't know how many days before appointments in Bosnia are made, but still... it's the first time that we can read the motivation of the replacement, reporting the specific Champions League assignment for the referee involved from an official source before UEFA release.

    Demetrescu gave a penalty for Portugal that seemed pretty clearly outside the box.
