I stated that this should have been a penalty kick during the game
A bit surprised Dale Johnson didn’t write an article how Timber only held Isak’s shirt for 2.457 seconds so therefore it isn’t a penalty and VAR can’t intervene since it was clearly 2.457 seconds it was not an obvious error

Lou Macari deserves a Knighthood for his work with the homeless. Special player- a very special person.
What a fantastic day at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from Prince William. I was dead nervous beforehand, but was then ok chatting with him about football and our work with the homeless over the last 10 years at the Macari Centre.

'In this instance the [Premier League Key Match Incidents] panel deemed that Timber’s challenge on Isak met the threshold for a holding offence and should have resulted in a penalty kick, both on-field and through VAR intervention.' [@premierleague] That's great, thanks lads 🙄

Congratulations richly deserved
Paula Radcliffe was awarded an OBE today at Windsor Castle. The former marathon world record-holder was recognised for services to sport. At the 2003 London Marathon, which she won three times, Radcliffe set a world record of 2:15:25 - a mark which lasted until 2019. Her illustrious career also included world, European and Commonwealth medals across track, road and cross country.

Mick I do not recall meeting your Dad. The one thing we agree on is that the area was a hotbed for producing outstanding referees. Your dad faced some tough competition.

There was no chance of this red card being overturned. Did they consult with a retired referee to offer advice?
Igor Thiago’s red card against Brighton, Max Dowman’s against Fleetwood Town and Phil Foden’s against Man Utd were all the result of provocation by an opponent. Is this the season where cheats prosper? @SamJDean investigates ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Not surprised l thought that the ref got that spot on.
Brentford have lost their appeal against Igor Thiago's red card for violent conduct. Thiago was shown a red card for catching Chema Andres with his elbow during Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Brighton. He will miss games vs. Everton, Man United and Arsenal. 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

When did that last happen?
Replying to @HACKETTREF
Isn’t that already in the laws? Thought you could be charged with successfully deceiving an official and be banned after the game?

I retired from the PGMOL having reached the age 65. I then was appointed the Premier League Referee Ambassador for the Premier League. You are obviously happy with the standard of officiating. I am not both Riley and Webb have failed to Improve the standard of officiating.
It definitely comes across that you're bitter You criticise Webb every opportunity and did so with Riley before Just because PGMOL didn't want you.... it's not their fault. Stop attacking them and support referees more.

Well said Liam acts of simulation are on the rise. I have suggested that a review panel is required to assess games hand where simulation takes place they have the power to apply retrospective one match bans
