I don't think your scenario contradicts mine Cude. I had a search and think you mean a recent Legia Warsaw game? Ref sent off a player for a second yellow, then saw on VAR screen he'd stamped on his opponent so brought him back out for a straight red. If so, that's VAR correcting a clear and obvious error (though I doubt the PL will go in for the pantomime of hauling players back from the changing room just to dismiss them again). And though your second para makes some sense, the current rules say the referee has to make a decision before VAR can get involved. So a neutral 'I know it's something but not sure what' shouldn't ever happen. Bet it does though...
That’s a good shout. It has helped make us look more solid at the back. Initially this appears to have blunted our effectiveness going forward, but we were not losing games either. I’m hoping Friday’s performance may just be the beginning of a strong run to the end of the season. Looking forward to Liverpool. Still think we’ll get beat but focus turns back to performances as we are likely going to finish with somewhere north of 48-50 points. Would be nice to think with this bunch they can really start to enjoy their football and I can’t help but think with our starting eleven that may be a beautiful thing.
After watching it a dozen times this morning, not a pen. Not a foul, even, Murphy chucks himself into Janmaat.
No Liverpool match thread! A sneak preview of austerity Brexit? Posts to be rationed. Max one para & 2 emojis per contribution. Meister handing out Like coupons. 3 per week. How did it happen?
Agreed, it's devastating when a player chops their locks. Generally they lose 50% of their ability too. See Chalobah for further details. Jason Lee being the inverse outcome which proves the rule.
fantastic performance, clinical 100% safe with 11 games to go. Big push now for the FA cup - very happy
Hang on, Chalobah had his best ever season when he was here as a 17 year old with short hair. Never been convinced by him since he's had the dreads.
In his programme notes Warnock was complimentary: “Watford are the sort of club that clubs like us should aspire to be like; they’ve established themselves in this division over a number of seasons and are now proving to be one of the main clubs next in line outside of that top six. Watford are proving what’s possible and their progress has been admirable. “My memories of Watford go back to when I was managing Burton Albion back in the 80’s. I took a young Richard Jobson down to meet Graham Taylor and I was taken aback by what a family orientated club Watford was. Richard ended up signing for Graham after watching a game with Sir Elton (he was starstruck I think!) and I’ve always kept a eye out for Watford’s results since that time.” Good old Colin has always allowed Watford sides to thrash his teams so I’ve got nothing but respect for him ...
Cheers Garth, Player scores a hat trick and you talk about the opposition manager, non penalty and a different game more than the hat trick in the write up. ..
Sky have 2 of his goals in the goals of the round for us to vote for. His second goal where he runs from inside our half with it, rounding the keeper is winning currently.
In their haste to show how sh1t Watford are with their 1986 stat, they got the opposition wrong. Marc Falco scored three against Aston Villa NOT Leicester.....so who's sh1t now Garth?
It's been a long standing dream of mine to see troy deeney with a george berry style afro, so I'm all in.
From memory I’m going for mark Walters and Simon Stainrod for Villa. Ken Jackett penalty as other goal for us. Think it was Falco home debut. I was gutted when Bassett sold him.
As Man City didn't play and Man Utd v Liverpool didn't produce any goals the vote is clear of the usual bias.
I always wondered what would have happened if the ball just nestled mid-afro and he had ran the length of the pitch with it while the oppo attempted to "head it" out of his barnet.
The highlights on the Official site say 'Error. No source video found'. Are others getting this message?

In the video, it shows the whole move for the 4th. From 12:56 when the clip starts to 14:26 when Deeney scores, in those 90 seconds not once does a Cardiff player touch the ball.
I tried counting the number of passes but some were just too quick for me. Someone on Twitter claimed there were 24 - but on BT Sport on Saturday afternoon they showed a Benny Hill style clip of the 90 seconds, and said there were 35.
I just counted. From after it bobbles off of Arter's head to the goal, Del Boy's lay off to Deeney was the 36th pass.
On the official highlights they show the entire move. I counted 34 passes and from the Hughes long ball to Deeney passing the ball into the net the move lasted 84 seconds.
