He's very good. Our lad with the laptop may have played a part in the tactical switch after 15 too

Chris Kavanagh ref, Matt Donohue VAR (who he?, you ask) He was VAR at Goodison on Saturday so possobly a good lad

As good an “out of possession” performance as you could wish for. Why all the creasing in the first half? And Anthony Taylor was excellent

But Peter Bankes on VAR at Arsenal correctly got Pawson to upgrade yellow to red. Has it been mentioned by any of the hard done by Gooners that Bankes is a scouser yet?

Typical NR drawing our attention to a minor incident on his Screen 14 Emery and Ayesteran's ship docked at Whitby this morning in good time for them to catch the 11.30 post coach to Birmingham with a change of horses at Nottingham.

YES Red

That would mean the ball actually went where he intended it to go. Not having that

Craig Pawson is ref Unsurprisingly Anthony Taylor has the City match.

Just hate the ref for awarding a free kick against us. It’s the safe option.

Ref forums had quite a low opinion of the Oliver gig with particular reference to spotting what was and wasn’t a foul.

He always looks like he’s blowing for tugs after 5 minutes but he’s actually one of the better decision makers. What I’ve learned this week is called “foul recognition” in the ref community and for which Oliver received considerable criticism from that community.
