Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher said in Leeds 0-3 Liverpool talk: 15 minutes of the second half, Pascal Strick makes a challenge from behind on Harvey Elliott and falls on the Liverpool midfielder, which leads to a horrific ankle injury. Dermot’s referee: Right decision: red card. Dermot says: “What I would say from the start is, I don’t think Struijk had any intention whatsoever to cause any injury to this boy. I made that very clear. It was very clear. An unfortunate injury, but I think the referee sees this challenge: enter Struijk from the back, and then the result.” “You have to be very careful to keep the two separate, but in this case you look at it and the result and it’s hard to say it’s not a red card for that injury. “You can see how severe the injury was because there was no replay, I had to look at the feed from somewhere else to see the interference again. You see what’s going on, the way the player reacted – you knew how dangerous it was.” The red card was an on-court decision, although a free kick was not awarded initially. The fourth referee was close and would have helped him, which is great about the earpiece now. Rulers are online. The entry was from everyone, “We feel this is a red card,” and a red card was awarded. “When you see this challenge from behind. The law says: Does it endanger the opponent’s safety. Well, the result will definitely say yes. Did he mean it? Certainly not. And that’s the balance here and the referee’s dilemma was. I think the referee has a very difficult job not to give a card. Red when you see the extent of the injury.” The second incident: Fabinho scores with Sadio Mane standing close to the goal in an offside position. Dermot Referee: Correct Decision: Goal awarded. Dermot says, “If you look at where the goalkeeper is, the ball actually goes through Luke Ayling’s legs. Line of sight – was the player obstructing the goalkeeper’s vision? No, the players are far apart. I think it is in [the goalkeeper’s] Peripheral vision, not in his direct vision which is why the target was given. “Dermott was over injured David Bost in 1996, Gallagher was responsible when Coventry defender David Bost broke his leg against Manchester United in the Premier League in 1996 and the event still haunts the first. The verdict to this day. Craig Pawson had another half hour on the end [after the Eliott incident] And I think it’s on the headphones now that the umpires can keep feeding the referee’s ear, “That’s it, I’ve had another five minutes,” and it’s like I’ve finished the match. My reality lasted 81 seconds from the start of the match so there was a full match I had to go through. “The only thing I will say about that moment: Everything I’ve done in my life, every experience I’ve had, if I can change one thing, only one thing, is that I didn’t start that match, that day – that was awful. But it happened and you have to. Deal with it and you have to move on, which I had to learn how to do.” Crystal Palace 3-0 Spurs Manifest: Japhet Tangana quarrels with Wilfried Zaha and both players receive a yellow card before Tangana makes a reckless challenge minutes later and gets a second wisdom. He says: “It’s very exciting. This incident and the incident of West Ham. Two players go into a confrontation, they both get yellow cards, and I think it’s true.” If you look at it, he’s angry, they’re pushing and pushing but no punches. This thing: is it violent? With the second intervention, you should not do such a treatment – it’s a few minutes later. You do not give Jon Moss any choice whatsoever if you make such a transaction. Incident 2: Crystal Palace is awarded a penalty after Tottenham defender Ben Davies blocked Conor Gallagher’s cross with an extra arm. Dermot referee: Right decision: penalty. “It should be handball,” says Dermot. We talked before the season about narrowing the gray areas and what will be given and what will not. “It’s the fact that his arm is so far away, and you see, it’s very, very difficult to say ‘No Punishment’–especially after they’ve brought the margins, there’ll be less discussion. If the arms came out, they’d be punished–and it was.” Southampton 0-0 West Haminside: Michael Antonio received a second yellow card after an initial altercation with Jack Stevens followed by a rash challenge shortly after on Moussa Djenepo. I think this falls exactly into that needed category: consistency. There is an overlap between the players. They end up fighting and getting yellow cards, which I think is true. “It’s very similar [to the Zaha and Tanganga incident]. Antonio then does exactly what Tanganga does too – he traces his leg, lunges and gets a second yellow card. It is perfect harmony. Arsenal 1-0 Norwich Apparent: Arsenal goal allowed after the ball hit Bacayo Saka’s arm in the crowd and it looks like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was offside when he hit the ball into the empty net. Dermot referee: Right decision: No handball, no offside and goal. Says Dermot: “She bumps into Saka’s hand, but I think that’s all she does. A Norwich player flies over and hits his arm. I wasn’t too interested in this because it doesn’t fall under the new law. He hits him and they play – he doesn’t go straight to the player who scores, he doesn’t score – the game continues.”[Regarding whether Aubameyang was offside]This was a really interesting incident because I thought Aubameyang was a hacker. Aubameyang starts offside, but when the ball hits the post and comes back, it hits me and it goes to him – at which point he’s back behind the ball so he’s in place.” Leicester 0-1 Man City Ping: Jamie Vardy breaks through Manchester City’s high streak in the usual fashion And the results – but the assistant reports offside. Dermot referee: Correct decision: goal disallowed. I think it was really good. The assistant waits, the ball goes into the net, then the assistant informs. The VAR checks that because the play was stopped and he was offside. A very good decision.”
