Mind-boggling that one.

VAR can only advise on red cards,penalties, goals (scored or disallowed) or mistaken identify. Once the VAR deemed it not to be a 'clear and obvious error' the game restarted normally.

Good news, that'll help cover Waggotts next bonus 😭

Season ticket sales will have already done that.

So why did VAR review it. I think to most people involved at any level, it was a clear and obvious error, as the officials missed a keeper deliberately handballing outside his penalty box.

It was reviewed for a potential red card.

The clear and obvious part is subjective.  VAR didn't deem it to be an obvious goal scoring opportunity so there was no recommendation for an OFR.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps football should go down the same route as Rugby League, and have the concerned officials actually discuss what has occurred and come to the correct decision according to the rules in place. But that is for the grown-ups to decide.

It was great to see Adam Wharton on that stage. Just wish it was in our colours

He is a brilliant player and his progressive passing will give defenders nightmares. I agree with a lot of the comments about Pep-ball. It’s becoming easier to defend against it. If the ball is in front of going side to side then you are in for an easy game. When that ball is sent through you or over your head…so much harder to defend against

I liked Whartons comment on the news extract someone posted - he could have 100% passing success if he went side to side every time. But he isn’t interested in that. He plays high risk passes and moves the team on. What is good is that in Glasner he has found a coach who encourages that. Losing possession at Palace isn’t the sin it is in a Pep team. That Wharton isn’t discouraged by some of those passes not working out is his biggest strength. He should think carefully about his next move - Grealish is a great example. His charm was his dribbling and City have drummed that out of him

Yes I can't think of why we would be interested in a Blackburn-born Rovers fan's career who was raised and built by our club since age 6. I wonder what could possibly cause this fixation...

Honestly, our club is bigger than this.

If I were supporting some National League club, then I would love to follow the rise of an academy player. But what a f*cking tiny club mindset.

He’s a Blackburn lad and Rovers fan, I’d be interested in how he does even if he’d never come through our academy.

You aren’t an east Lancs lad yourself so you aren’t arsed, fair enough, but there’s nothing ‘tiny’ about it.

A proper Rovers fan wouldn't have left.😎

He has the potential to become a world class player. He was hardly going to slum it at this ambitionless circus in the Championship for too long and waste his career. He didn't force the club to sell him, in fact the rumours were that the club basically forced him to leave, saying they needed the money to keep running.
