I'm just intrigued as to what tactics you think he should have employed once RAN had gone off?
If it was a subjective decision, then there were no grounds for any further intervention. The subjective decision had already been made on the pitch and there are no objective grounds for reversal. Just by asking him to look at it again they are implying they don't agree with the subjective decision made.
Yes exactly
Yes, fair point, I sort of gave up on Europe when Neto limped off though to be honest. I'd still rather finish 9th than 14th though!
No that's not right. The point is that if (say) Chirewa had touched the ball then the offside would have been a matter of objective fact and therefore the goal would have been disallowed by the VAR. Because it was a question of whether he was interfering then the onfield ref has to make the call, as it is a subjective offside call. Sadly Harrington was wrong, but sending him to the screen was right (as much as VAR is ever right).
But the referee isn't actually making the call once he goes to the monitor. The decision has been made for him. That they send him to the monitor is pure show.
Well it would be an interesting listen, and of course the reality is that is almost always the case, but that is what they meant by saying it is a subjective decision - objectively in an offside position, subjectively interfering with play. So they have to send the ref to the screen under the current protocols.
This is one to be afraid of if true.
Wonder how long the list is?
At least as long as my arm.
Are your arms long?
They are liking English players in Italy right now and he is an exciting young coach.
Difficult to say conclusively of course, but there may well be something in that. Lop did it more overtly, talking up a potential move to Italy. Maybe Gary is asking his newfound mates in the media to put feelers out for him in a more subtle way. As you say though, this simply will not wash with Fosun. They do not play games of chicken with their head coaches.
How can you interview someone under contract?
No, not necessarily. I imagine that it would require permission from the club. Otherwise only out contract coaches would get interviews?
Again I remember this happened before Nuno got axed.
He won't say no to either United or Liverpool. Potter wouldn't have said no, either, but had to settle for Chelsea - where his star fell and is still lying in a muddy ditch to this day.
This ^^
If this is true he'd definitely be off.
And assurances of proper backing in the summer.
