Jay Bothroyd once again showing he doesn't know the laws. There is no way you can justify that challenge as careless rather than reckless
“Ultimately I don’t think that’s a yellow card.” 🗣️ The Ref Watch panel breaks down Cole Palmer’s sending-off after receiving two yellow cards, with divided opinions on whether both challenges warranted a booking.

If games weren't played because of a muddy touchline by the AR then non-league would never finish. This part of the pitch is mud with no grass on 99% of grass pitches by November especially at step 5&6. Unsurprisingly this team lost but I'm sure that has nothing to do with ut.
I’m all for playing matches but that was an abysmal decision to allow that game to be played out in them conditions. It’s the volunteers who now have to pick up the pieces. Worrying thing we warned this would happen but no one listens Ref earns £84 and goes home happy. @nwcfl

1) The player is already nearly on the floor before the ball is in play so no decision to make 2) The defender takes a risk but not for me, the attacker knows he's not getting the ball so falls down 3) Arm in an expected position, no way is that handball
We had three decent penalty shouts in the game too. Are you giving any of them?

This sums up the attitude of fans, they feel they can say whatever they want but if an official dares to react they are out of order and fans can't take it. This looks like the player jumping swings their arm and catches the opponent in the face which is a justified YC
Someone, somewhere, please explain to me how this is a foul. Never mind a second yellow. Absolute nonsense again. It’s just boring moaning about the standard of officiating but yesterday’s was an arrogant twat. The lino laughing at one of our fans at full time summed it up. It’s not good enough.

This incident looks similar to the Doku challenge against Liverpool which split opinion and was voted 3-2 correct by the KMI panel and I think this is less of a foul as there doesn't seem to be contact by the defender's boot on the attacker unlike the Doku challenge
This angle, no pen for me. #pne #pnefc

Sunderland fans joining Leeds fans in not knowing the laws. As the stoppage was as a result of 2 teammates colliding neither have to go off despite having treatment and play restarts with a drop ball to the goalkeeper as the goalkeeper had the ball #SUNLEE

The player was down holding his head so Stuart Atwell was 100% correct to stop the play, Leeds United fans showing how little they understand the laws #SUNLEE

No sympathy with a player who takes too long on a throw in and has it overturned, you have a verbal and visual countdown so if you ignore that then it is 100% your fault #SUNLEE

another example of a media channel who can't get the basic laws of the game right. Reckless is a yellow card offence. This is one of the reasons fans are so uneducated on the laws as they are not educated on them by the media.

How can he complain about that? It is a clear YC. Disgraceful from both sets of players surrounding Kavanagh and more than 1 player putting hands on him. I'd love to see the PL clamp down on that and give refs the confidence to show every player a YC for surrounding them #CHETOT

This looks like great teamwork from the referee and AR. There is a player in the middle that looks to be in an offside position when the cross comes in then clearly challenges the defender for the ball, assuming he is in an offside position it's a great decision
Controversy! Charlton thought they were level but the offside flag goes up 😳

So much for football being happy to accept mistakes by officials on the pitch.
"There needs to be a little bit of ownership on the pitch" Morgan Gibbs-White on there being no on-field decision for Issa Diop's foul on James McAtee ⤵️

Further proof of the accountability for referees and why mistakes will cost financially
The KMI Panel results create the merit table which contributes to 50% of each referee's pay.

There seems to be a few times this season that play has been stopped due to a flat ball. Another procurement from the Premier League gone wrong #IPSNFO

Whichever way this is given it's going to upset one side or the other but it further proves how the laws are subjective and both sides could be justified in law for this. We also keep hearing people say they want refs to reject the review so lets hope them same people praise this
#IPSNFO – 48’ After VAR review for a possible denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO), the referee issued a yellow card to Diop for stopping a promising attack. REF: “It's a heavy touch, with the defender inside and he knocks the ball away from the goal – I’m going to go direct free-kick and yellow card”. REF ANNOUNCEMENT: “After review, there is a foul by Ipswich No.6. However, because the player knocks it to the right side of the goal, the final decision is direct free-kick and a yellow card to No.6”.

The VAR got involved for a red. The referee rejected the red card and decided it was only worthy of a yellow. Once at the monitor the referee can do whatever he wants.
Replying to @DaleJohnsonBBC
Didn’t think VAR got involved with yellow cards,shouldn’t he have just looked at the screen and if he decided it wasn’t a red then just play on.

I think the referee has made the correct decision to reject the red card and give a yellow. The speed the ball moves suggests it was a possible scoring chance rather than obvious. Close call though and more a red than Struijk.

When people want the clear and obvious bar removed for VAR you will have more incidents like that of reviews that are rejected at the monitor and this will show it won't remove controversy #IPSNFO

I agree with the final outcome although it will go down as a mistake for VAR due to it not being a red card #IPSNFO
This isa certain foul but due to the heavy touch I'm not totally convinced it's DOGSO due to the defender next to him and possibly the goalkeeper so this should be a yellow card. #IPSNFO
