Kommunikationen mellem Dommerne og VAR rummet på det straffe Everton ikke fik mod West Ham:

VAR (Michael Salisbury): “Possible handball.”
AR1 (Assistant referee, Constantine Hatzidakis): “No idea, I’ve got no idea.”
AVAR (Assistant Video Assistant Referee, Daniel Robathan): “He’s appealing for handball.”
Referee (Stuart Attwell): “Con, [AR1] what have you seen?”
Referee [to Everton captain James Tarkowski]: “Let me talk to him. There’s no on-field decision yet.”
VAR: “It’s a total accident.”
AR1: “Listen, I’ve not seen it. Genuinely, I’ve not seen it.”
Referee: “Okay.”
VAR: “It’s a total accident [again]. He’s gone to grab the player.”
AR1: “I’ve not seen it [again].”
VAR: “His hand does strike... it’s a total accident.”
Referee: “Is there any contact with the hand or are you uncertain?”
AR1: “Genuinely, I’ve got a blocked view. I’ve not seen it.”
AVAR: “They haven’t made an on-field decision yet.”
Referee: “What’s the on-field decision going to be?”
AR1: “Goal kick I guess, I’ve got no view.”
Referee: “On-field decision is goal kick Sal [Michael Salisbury, VAR].”
VAR: “I’m going to confirm this, it’s a total accident.”
AVAR: “Yeah.”
VAR: “Confirming the on-field decision of play on.
Referee: “It’s already checked, it’s already finished.”
Referee: “Sal, can you just tell me why?”
VAR: “Yeah, Fernandes’ hand does touch the ball, but it’s a grappling motion with the attacker and it’s a total accident.”
Referee: “Okay.”
Referee [to Everton players]: “It touches the hand but it’s a complete accident. They’re engaged in a duel, it hit the hand. Finished, goal kick.”

Stiller ikke ligefrem dommerne i et godt lys.

Coleman stopper som spiller i Everton:

Lidt af en nutidig legende der takker af som spiller. En beslutning han efter min mening allerede burde have taget efter sidste sæson. 12 minutter PL fodbold i denne sæson indtil nu.

Han var fremragende indtil et brækket ben i en landskamp for Irland mod Wales, satte ham ud af spillet i tæt på et år.
