Ref Watch’s Dermot Gallagher and Jay Bothroyd disagrees the decision that William Saliba’s alleged Foul on Matheus Cunha was not a penalty
INCIDENT: Matheus Cunha went to the ground in the penalty area following a challenge from William Saliba. Did Saliba get the ball? The judge said no punishment.
Dermot says: I was not convinced that it was a sanction. What I would say is if it will be a sanction, it is a judge will give. Where will not be involved in this.
Jay Bothroyd on Sky Sports News:
“How is that not a penalty? It’s a guaranteed punishment.
“If it happens on the halfway line, it’s a free kick.
“Saliba has hit the foot and the ball has gone nowhere. If Saliba is not there, Cunha will not go down. It’s a penalty.”

Highlights from the Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal
INCIDENT: William Saliba stood in close contact with Altay Bayındır as Arsenal points on Old Trafford – Was it a foul?
Dermot says: Not a foul. Not a foul at all. If any goalkeeper puts his hand on the player.
Jay Bothroyd on Sky Sports News:
“He has not been strong enough, he has been caught out of position and that mistake has cost you united the game. If he thinks it is a foul, go down, at least you have a chance to win a free kick. It’s just bad, you have to be stronger.”

Former Judge Dermmot Gallagher goes with Ref Watch to explain the team that saw Eberechi Eze’s free kick against Chelsea allowed and discusses the likelihood of more cases like this
INCIDENT: Eberechi Eze free kick that was not allowed was after Marc Guehi disturbed the wall.
Dermot says: This is the law. If a wall is set with three or more players, opposition players must be one meter from it. Often you see ahead standing in front of the wall. In this case, Guehi stands between two players.
Where they set up, Guehi is not considered to be in the wall, he is between two players to the right of the wall, but when the ball is kicked, Guehi’s movement is against Caicedo and no doubt he is not a meter from it.
You don’t see it often. Most free kicks do not result in a goal, and because this one does it must be to check it.
It was about Caicedo moving into the wall and Guehi was in contact with him.

Oliver Glasner says the Premier League must be careful when allowing goals similar to Eberechi Eze’s controlled Freekick against Chelsea
‘Where is against goals’
Micah Richards said: “There may be no complaints but it feels like where anti-goals are.”
Roy Keane added: “Attacking team must now be aware of this rule. We see players there blocking and be an inconvenience all the time.
“Guehi is almost gone too far with being an inconvenience and shooting players about. He just had to do it a bit.”

Former Judge Dermot Gallagher believes that was cleared Marcos Senesi handball event too fast – and should have sent Judge Anthony Taylor to review it
INCIDENT: Senesi avoids punishment after working to handle the ball as the last defender.
Dermot says: I think this is a really interesting situation. Where, for me, has looked at it too quickly and cleared it.
I think he has seen the ball fly up from Senesi and have not seen the other part.
He has seen the ball hit his elbow from his knee and stopped looking, he has not been looking for the second sweep. If he sends the judge to the screen, the judge has all options. He probably sends Senesi because huge eco -like will be gone. The only doubt is, is it too far from the goal? But this is a class forward.
If it goes to the screen he would have been sent off. It was a mistake and fortunately it did not affect the result of the game.

Martin Dubravka becomes the first GK punished for new eight seconds rule
Dermot says: If you look, he takes too long. I get a little worried about the eight seconds, because we don’t want to get the stop. But he makes no attempt to drop the ball.
It is a deterrent. That is why the rule is there. No judge wants to apply that rule, they want goalkeepers to get rid of the ball and keep the game moving faster.
Jay Bothroyd on Sky Sports News:
“I don’t know why he’s stuck in the ball for so long, it’s about 12 seconds.”
