The latest news following the aftermath of Nottingham Forest's VAR rant, as former match official Dermot Gallagher presents his expert view on events
Former referee Dermot Gallagher was given plenty to analyse from Nottingham Forest's weekend fixture alone in the latest instalment of Sky Sports' Ref Watch.
Penalty incident 1 - Ashley Young on Giovanni Reyna "I think no. The referee has got the perfect view. There is contact but obviously not all contact is a foul. It is minimal contact and the referee has got the best view," says Gallagher. "In the last three or four weeks, we've seen a slight shift in as much as physical contact. There has been a higher threshold, which I think is better. Earlier in the season the tolerance level was too low - there were penalties given that people were like 'is that enough?'
"Firstly, the defender has got the wrong side of the forward. Secondly, if you actually look at the referee he actually signals that the defender plays the ball - well, he doesn't play the ball, that's a certainty.
