We should look at getting a dedicated set-piece coach. I noticed SG retained Austin McPhee in that same role at Villa. It's a big part of the game; we need to be better at it.

it is relevant to whether it is a penalty. Regardless of their failure to do their job. unnatural is clearly defined in the rules and this was unnatural as per the rules.

A couple on Thursday would be welcome

I've always been in favour of VAR. I think, no matter how incompetent, in certain situations like an offside, they cannot hide because the lines are there. What's more, we can see them. If it is conspiratorial, then we'll know. I keep going back to their goal in the League Cup Final a few years ago; the most glaring offside goal you'll ever see, which would have been overturned with VAR. Of course, there are and will always be interpretation of rules in certain situations, as there should be. It's here that their incompetence will just carry over; you're not changing that without drafting in a better standard of Referee.

All 42 clubs getting a vote ffs. There really is no bottom to this barrel.

https://www.premierleague.com/news/2204759 "An arm extended away from the body makes that body bigger, in an unnatural position," explains Mike Riley, Managing Director of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the referees' body. "If the ball strikes that arm, particularly if it is blocking a shot on goal, there is a greater likelihood we will penalise that." Mike Riley doesn't think it's that clear. As I said, it's open to interpretation.

fortunately there is a description of an unnatural position for referees to follow. what they think is irrelevant. I have posted it.

The inconsistencies are glaring.

All 3 should have been pens with 1 red card given. Jota heads the ball on to his arm which then flicks it away from landing on the Dundee players head, clear pen. Remember Alfies handball recently was not intentional, not only was a pen given but he also got a yellow card.

Eriksen was playing for Brentford. Diallo got both our goals - one a rebound from Roofe penalty miss. Both conceded goals came from set pieces. Not much else to take away. However, good to see that we have matches for those that aren't getting many minutes in the first team at the moment.

your arms have to be at your side for it not to be a pen. Anything making your silhouette bigger isn't allowed. I could forgive it if mulgrew goes or the other one is a pen and a red perhaps. All round a very poor refereeing performance.
