From the North London Derby:
Oliver in a great position and looking straight at the incident but you get:
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no”.
“I don’t think he sees him coming. He tries to play the ball”.
So according to Oliver it doesn’t matter that Rice kicks Davies because for him “he tries to play the ball”.
Without VAR he wouldn’t have given the pen for that reason.
But Dermot last week describes Forest’s 1st non-pen as “The referee has the best view” to justify why it wasn’t given. Yet Oliver who is in a great position and surely has the “best view” of the above incident but wasn’t going to give what was a blatant pen to Spurs.
So just constant revisionism to justify the outcome.
