It’s been too subjective which people didn’t realise .

From a fans point of view probably the right idea.

We haven’t seen decisions get any better with it 

Mind you won’t stop teams complaining about decisions!

I think they lost it at home to Villa .

And West Ham plus at Fulham.

Probably 2 results that will really really hurt.

Pretty disrespectful towards West Ham saying they have already won the league.

Probably because they have City v West Ham but not the Arsenal game  (TNT have 2nd pick ) so hoping they do it .

Sub keeper for MC had done well tbf.

Ederson must be the most subbed keeper around .

Both teams will need to go for that win

It's been announced that from the 2025/26 season ITV have lost the rights to show games on free to air TV

TNT are the main channel but as part of their successful bid they had to incorporate a free to air channel

BBC have been chosen as their preferred partner and will continue to show FA Cup games including the final

Yes they get 14 live games.

Another race in America.

They will have them all soon !

Will Crawley creep their way into League one or Crewe derail them ? 

Either way been a fantastic season for both .

German TV analysis said he was offside anyway so the linesman got it right even if he had raised his flag when the ball went in the net.

And the Madrid players did seem to stop so that might have influenced the goal being scored.

VAR cannot intervene once the ref has blown the whistle for offside. Perhaps he should have ignored the flag until the move was over but the assistant should never get another Champions League game.

Yes seen that .

Mind you people usually complain they don’t raise it quick enough!

11 minutes ago, bredwood said:

How many times are they told not to put their flag up for a close offside and in one of the most important matches of the year he flags for a dodgy call.

Could VAR not get involved ?

The officials were doing well till then .

Just now, The Coach said:

Kane off. Madrid score. Can only see it going one way now.

Strange move really .

Life of a keeper eh ?!

One error blows it all .

I like Henry Winter's football journalism, and I thought his comment on last night's PSG/Dortmund match was spot on.

'Italian ref Daniele Orsato showing how to run a game. Supported by VAR rather than governed by it. Strong, applied advantage and decisive (rightly, quickly changed pen to fk. And Mbappe one prob 50-50). Respected by players.'

Yes quick decisions made without fuss .

Although Rio Ferdinand seemed to disagree with it but that is part of football .

there was a pitch invasion when we beat Palace. I remember the bloke in the blue shirt running on the pitch before the final whistle!

Sorry meant us  (Watford ) but know what you mean .

Bit more explanation here.

The ref that was wearing a camera at the weekend wasn't Sky related but for another one off documentary

Yes in the Palace game but Howard Webb does an over view of VAR decisions occasionally with Michael Owen.

Not that it ever goes down well !

Will Sky be doing more features like this next season as they do for the Premier league ?

Mic’d up refs and then explaining decisions afterwards.

Personally thought he was lucky not to get sent off but I am biased !

Ian Evatt 'that was an anticlimax, jobs not done, we need to focus, enjoy it but not overcelebrate'.

Camera pans to the Bolton players drinking beers with the fans 

Yes and the fans on the pitch celebrating like it was a promotion.

Ours probably would have left early or gone home to complain about losing the game .

Bolton players loving the pitch invasion 

Not sure Ian Evatt was so joyful - just looked relieved !
