      The Hammers lost 2-1 to the Blues on Saturday at Stamford Bridge after Maxwel Cornet’s 90th-minute strike was controversially chalked off after match official Andy Madley consulted with the VAR monitor.
      Madley made the controversial decision after Jarrod Bowen appeared to have collided with Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the build-up before Cornet converted from the loose ball.
      Moyes was enraged as he was seen confronting the ref on the pitch and according to talkSPORT, the Scottish tactician carried on the row in the referee’s room before his fiery post-match interview.
      The ex-Manchester United boss said: “You have seen it, it is a scandalous decision, absolutely rotten from one of the supposedly elite referees – it doesn’t say much about whoever sent him over from VAR as well – it is an unbelievable decision against us.

      “We feel we got back to 2-2 and it was not down to anything we have done.
      “I support a lot of the VAR stuff, I actually think the goalkeeper dives, he is faking an injury because he cannot get to the next one – he did the same on the first goal as well.
      “The referee somehow gets that so wrong it is incredible.”
      However, it has been decided Moyes will not be punished and will be in the dugout for West Ham’s clash with Newcastle next Sunday at the London Stadium.

      West Ham had a late equaliser chalked off after Maxwel Cornet capitalised on Edouard Mendy’s spillage.

      Meanwhile, Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock had his finish ruled out after he was pushed into goalkeeper Vicente Guaita by Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell.
      Referee Michael Salisbury awarded Palace a free kick for a so-called foul on the keeper, despite his teammate’s involvement.

      by

      The Gunners face United looking to make it SIX wins from six to start the season.
      But fans of Mikel Arteta’s side are sceptical going into the game.
      Not only are United on a three game winning run of their own, some Arsenal supporters are unhappy with the choice of officials.
      It has been claimed online that ref Paul Tierney, 41, is from Salford, just down the road from Old Trafford.

      Meanwhile VAR Lee Mason hails from Bolton, which is also in Greater Manchester.
      Fans took to social media to vent their fury at the appointments.
      One wrote: “Referee for Man Utd vs Arsenal is from Salford. Make it make sense.”
      Another said: “Man Utd vs Arsenal. Paul Tierney from Manchester, the ref in charge of VAR from Manchester. We already know how it ends.”

      A third fumed: “Can’t wait to see Paul Tierney of Salford, Manchester, have a totally unbiased performance tomorrow as Arsenal travel to Manchester United.”
      And one questioned: “How can you possibly get Paul Tierney and Lee Mason, Officials from Manchester to officiate a match with a team from Manchester?”
      Despite claims Tierney is from Salford, the referee was actually born in Wigan.
      Although the town is still in Greater Manchester, and only 20 odd miles away from Old Trafford.
      Mason also has a short trip to get to the match, with Bolton being just over 10 miles away from the home of United.
      The 50-year-old was at the centre of controversy today too while in charge of VAR for Newcastle’s match against Crystal Palace.
      Toon had a goal disallowed for a Joe Willock foul, despite Palace star Tyrick Mitchell appearing to be the guilty man, after Mason advised referee Michael Salisbury to consult the monitor. More

      What is a semi-automatic offside and will it be used in the Champions League?

      by

      THERE is nothing worse than a long nail biting VAR check for an offside when your football team has just scored the winner – but this new piece of technology is about to put an end to all of that.FIFA have reportedly spent the last three years testing its semi-automatic offside tool.
      The semi-automatic offside tool will assist match officialsCredit: Getty – Contributor
      And it has now been approved for use at major tournaments such as the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
      But what is the semi-automatic offside tool and will it be used in this season’s Champions League?
      What is a semi-automatic offside?
      The semi-automatic offside tool is a piece of technology being introduced to make VAR decisions quicker and more accurate.
      It will be done by a system using computer tracker of 29 body parts of each player, combined with a microchip inside the ball.
      Read More on Champions League
      This is expected to determine the positions of the players at the exact moment the ball has been played.
      So in the case of an offside situation, the video operations room will receive an automated alert alongside an automatic selected point and an instant drawn lines within seconds of the incident.
      Match officials will then have to validate the proposed selected kick point and the drawn offside line before VAR communicates the final decision on the pitch.
      Extra VAR officials will be in charge of calling offsides with the algorithm providing a 3D animation to explain a call in a average of 25 seconds.

      And that illustration is then available on the giant screens within the stadium and for TV viewers to take a look at in the next stoppage of play.
      Will it be used in the Champions League?
      The semi-automatic offside technology was initially meant to be rolled out for the opening fixture of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

      However, UEFA have stolen a march on FIFA as it was deployed in the Super Cup fixture between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt.
      And now, it has been revealed that they will use the new tool in this season’s Champions League.
      What has been said?
      UEFA’S refereeing chief Roberto Rosetti believes that the semi-automatic offside technology will be beneficial to the match officials, players and fans.
      Rosetti said: “We are constantly looking for new technological solutions to improve the game and support the work of the referees. 
      “This innovative system will allow VAR teams to determine offside situations quickly and more accurately, enhancing the flow of the game and the consistency of the decisions.
      “The system is ready to be used in official matches and implemented at each Champions League venue.” More

      Mike Dean admits he got it WRONG by not telling ref to check VAR pitchside monitor after Romero pulled Cucurella’s hair

      by

      VAR Mike Dean has admitted he was WRONG not to urge referee Anthony Taylor to go to the pitchside monitor after Cristian Romero’s hair pull on Marc Cucurella.Harry Kane’s stoppage-time equaliser handed Tottenham a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

      But in the lead-up to the dramatic late goal, Spurs centre-back Romero could be seen yanking back Cucurella’s frizzy hair – an action which the rules deem to be a red card offence.
      Yet Dean, who hung up the whistle last season but remains an experienced pair of eyes in the VAR room, did not deem it to be violent conduct after reviewing the incident.
      He told ref Taylor to play on and Kane subsequently headed in to salvage a point for the visitors.
      And Dean has now conceded that it was his error which saw Romero go unpunished.

      Speaking in his column for The Mail, he said: “In the few seconds I had to study Romero pulling Cucurella’s hair, I didn’t deem it a violent act.
      “I’ve since studied the footage, spoken to other referees and, upon reflection, I should have asked Taylor to visit his pitch-side monitor to take a look for himself.

      “The referee on field always has the final say.”
      Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was left raging after referee Taylor’s performance.

      And he even suggested Blues matches should no longer be officiated by the 43-year-old Mancunian.
      In his post-match press conference, a raging Tuchel was asked whether he agrees with Chelsea fans who do not want Taylor involved in their games.
      To which he said: “I don’t think that just some of the fans think that. I can assure you that the whole dressing room of us, every person thinks that.
      “Not only the fans. You know the players, they know what’s going on when they are on the pitch. They know it.”
      And he repeated the suggestion that his squad doubt Taylor by saying: “Yeah, of course.”

      These are:

      Awarding goals
      Penalty decisions
      Giving or rescinding red cards
      Mistaken identity

      Supporters have so far been left in the dark regarding how officials reached their conclusions, relying on replays and pundit analysis.
      According to The Times, the idea is that the public would get to listen in and get a clearer understanding and explanation on how decisions are made this season.
      However, the recordings would only be released after full-time due to rules on live broadcasts.
      The suggestion is widely supported, claims Premier League chief Richard Masters.

      Kevin Friend became the latest to hang up his whistle, following fellow veterans Mike Dean, Jon Moss and Martin Atkinson into retirement.
      PGMOL had already announced Tom Bramall, who has only been a referee for three seasons, was being promoted to Select Group One and on to the Prem panel.
