More rules made up for the television. Refs couldn't get it right when the laws were simple so god only knows how they expect them to judge this in a split second on the pitch. Sadly getting to a position where things rely more and more on VAR.

Wishing Lyle all the best. I wonder if the club was aware of this issue when we signed him? He's clearly doing the right thing in talking about his issues but from a commercial perspective if he doesn't settle you would think it might make any future purchasers slightly nervous.
