    I genuinely don't know how to respond. So, other than this post, I won't.

    Of course, when out of replies, press the hot key for the default "I have knowledge and you don't" reply.

    Truth of the matter is, scientifically researched evidence does exist for on field officiating, and there is little reason to assume it disappears behind the table (with the discretionary liberties being there, even more so the past decade since various leg breaks) ...

    Before running in circles and rambling on for longer, I leave it at that with my replies.

    "The previous position was that if the referee saw an incident but took no action at the time then the FA were powerless to take retrospective action except in exceptional circumstances - for example the case of Ben Thatcher’s challenge on Pedro Mendes - that were dealt with as ‘bringing the game into disrepute’.

    But in March 2013 there was controversy when Wigan’s Callum McManaman escaped action for a reckless horror tackle on Newcastle’s Massadio Haidara after the referee admitted seeing the challenge fly in but said he did not get a good view of the full severity of the challenge.

    The FA set up an internal review and the next term introduced more flexible retrospective rules to avoid a repeat."

    There's no comparison of outrage in 2020, with social media firmly established in the mainstream, and 2010. Everything is amplified these days.

    Even if *you* ignore social media, broadcasters and journalists don't, and the impact sinks in. Same reason cable news has more influence than the ratings would warrant -- people watch and respond.

    "The VAR in charge of Saturday's controversial Merseyside derby did not check for a red card for Jordan Pickford after forgetting rules state he could review the incident despite the offside in the build-up...

    Remarkably, Sportsmail has been told Coote thought the offside — which he checked forensically — nullified what happened afterwards..."

    I certainly realize it's a side issue and not relevant to whether Oliver and the VAR official screwed up, but as an Arsenal supporter, my recollection is much different than Delaney's with regard to the "outrage" expressed over the tackles on Eduardo and Ramsey. There was A LOT of talk from pundits about how Shawcross and Taylor "weren't those types of players" just "mistimed" tackles, etc., etc.

    In the post-Vieira years Arsenal was often the (elite) team with the lowest fouls committed. The result of the controversy was, rather simple, an increase in discretionary powers by the relevant committee since those leg and ankle breaks of several Arsenal players.

    They have used those increased liberties even in the opposite direction: Son was red carded for breaking Andre Gomes his leg (VAR was in use), which was very unfortunate and not a reckless, unnatural move by any means. Rather than hiding behind "the referee has seen and evaluated it", the red card was later voided.

    Can someone direct me to where this is spelled out? I went through the LotG and couldn't find a direct statement. A friend suggested it was in the Considerations but I am still struggling to find it.

    What are you asking, exactly?

    I also wouldn't get too hung up on a tabloid using the verb "forgetting" here. It seems deliberately sensationalist

    My question is where the specification that even if a play is offside, you can still give misconduct for a challenge that occurs after the offside offense. I’m having trouble locating where that is spelled out.

    Why would VC have anything at all to do with whether there was an OS infraction?

    Oh. Two answers, then.

    First, before one of the more recent re-writes, there was language either in Law 5 or 12 about the referee disciplining players "according to the nature of the offence" or something like that. Honestly not sure if that's still in the text but I am sure that the principle isn't gone.

    But second and more importantly, this is still violent conduct if it's not SFP, right? You're looking for an argument or affirmation that we can punish a tackle after an offside decision, which is a specific argument that is analogous to the broader principle that we can punish violence after play is stopped. And, well, we can and do. If Pickford had punched Van Dijk in the face, I don't think you'd be looking for any specification in the text of the Laws.

    By the way, the two paragraphs above relate to the SFP v VC question that I earlier said (and still contend) is largely irrelevant, because I think both routes are perfectly valid here. But if the "nature of the offence" language doesn't suffice for someone, then it's still VC per the second paragraph.

    This answer was what I was looking for. I remember reading it phrased out somewhere, I just wanted to see if it was still around.

    Like I said in a different forum, the Pickford challenge has to be a send-off. Whether you document the send-off as violent conduct or serious foul play, the result is the same (send-off and, in England, minimum three-match ban). I realize this is probably semantics, but absent any other information I would think SFP could be a proper categorization. Pickford went into the challenge assuming the ball was still "live". I think of violent conduct more as I'm running with you behind the play and I punch you or the ball is five yards out of play and I stomp on your leg as you are on the ground. Even though this play was eventually ruled as offside, Pickford was challenging for the ball.

    But in any case, the categorization of the send-off's nature is technical and administrative. The main idea is that Pickford should have been sent off regardless of the offside ruling.

    "And Sportsmail understands the [Pickford] incident is almost certain to be one of a number of incidents reviewed by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL)... at an annual meeting that takes place half way through the season.

    Part of the discussion... focuses on dissecting certain decisions that have taken place during the season, particularly ones that have caused confusion.

    Indeed, last weekend's contentious ruling at Goodison Park is highly likely to be selected as an example during the meeting scheduled for the early part of next year."

    And they'll decide it probably should've been a red card, and then it'll happen again to someone else and the keeper will either get nothing or a yellow card. And on and on we go.

    No refereeing content (other than hearing a neon-yellow-jersey-wearing 4O addressed as "highlighter") but it is Premier League, or a simulation thereof -- my wife and I have really been enjoying Teddy Lasso on the Apple channel.

    Non-soccer referee friend had a stumper for me, so I figured someone here must know.

    What’s the story behind the differently colored and patterned AR flags in England? Is there an origin story there?
