I am not sure that the rules allow it, but in my opinion, Senegal should have forfeited the game for refusing to play… to take the players off for 17 minutes because you disagree with a decision is simply ridiculous.

In cricket, if one team continues to refuse to play they forfeit the match.

Look I know it's not the done thing and teams should play regardless of decisions made by officials and managers, but can you honestly say you didn't feel our players should have left the field when Kilman was introduced on Saturday.

Made me laugh too, but Kilman must be feeling very low, and the general pile-on of 'let's blame someone (Kilman atm) for everything ' won't help him or the team.
Unless we all blame Paqueta of course, I'm all for that 😉😁

Dreadful decision to award Bournemouth a penalty (after a VAR intervention) against Brighton last night, exactly the sort of decision we should move away from. There's the slightest bit of contact, but the player throws himself to the ground. The sort of decision Man Utd have been getting for years, but the contact didn't make the player fall over, and the ref shoulda stuck by his original decision of simulation.

And guess who was the muppet VAR, our old friend Aussie Jarred Gillet.

Craig Pawson is also more in the spotlight atm for being on VAR for two of the more contentious decisions on red card challenges.
