My stepfather was one of his linesmen in the European Cup Quarter-Final between Bayern Munich v Anderlecht in 1986. Keith was one of this country's most respected referees.

The three penalty claims aside, what bothers me the most is the complete lack of consistency when it comes to what is and isn’t a handball. What is the difference between Grealish, Young, and Wan Bissaka’s handballs this weekend and why was Wan Bissaka the only one penalized?

[@kevinpillay6103]

And Wan Bissaka was only one that shouldn't be given. Even Dermot Gallagher on Sky said in his view no penalty. Grealish penalty all day long and Young moved hand towards the ball which should be penalised. If no VAR we won't have so much debate as refs onfield is final and has to be accepted move on. I can't for the life me understand why VAR can't say to the ref check the screen and then a ref and still stick with onfield of he feels so. At least they followed the process .

A person is more likely to become a professional footballer due to the work and dedication it takes to become a premier league referee, that's how unlikely it is.

Here's an idea... instead of the referee having to constantly go back and forth between a monitor to see the incidents (which takes time and is why they don't review everything), why doesn't the referee have a phone or tablet in his pocket this is streaming the same video that is on the pitch-side monitor. That way we can clearly see what the referees seeing because it has been broadcast. And it means the referee doesn't need to be forced with having to see the monitor after every tackle, you can just look at the tablet make a decision and remove on within seconds. I've been banging on about this for months and maybe years now VAR doesn't need to be a massive committee of people and technology it literally just needs to be the Replays that we've been having on TV for years in the eyes of the referee who is officiating on the pitch.
