I think there is certainly two sides to it.
The point I'm trying to make and the view I'm giving is that the VAR needs to be absolutely convinced that there is a clear and obvious error.
And I think when you put those elements I just spoke about in terms of gate, he actually steps into Slanky, steps on the back heel of Slanky, although it's minor.
Those mitigating circumstances aligned with...
like when Rob, when the VAR first watched it, he's thinking it doesn't look like a foul.
It doesn't feel like a foul.
I'm now going looking for reasons to give a foul.
And that would be the thought process is why he didn't recommend an on-field review.
But listen, there's discussions both ways.
And like I've spoken to ex-managers and ex-players today, totally split opinion.
And I totally respect both sides of the argument, but it's trying to give some rationale of how the VAR didn't get involved and recommend an on-field review in this situation.
Yeah, no, I'll put a little bit more context to it.
I think in the last couple of weeks, we've seen some examples of where VAR have been asked to up their threshold in terms of what they get involved with and what they don't.
And I think this probably reflected part of that work that they've been doing.
And I think when you slow, going back to what we said, when you slow anything down, and we spoke about this weeks and weeks and weeks, when you slow anything down and you frame it and frame it and frame it,
everything looks a lot worse and you can always find a reason to make a decision one way or the other.
I think you just look at it in real time.
It doesn't look like a foul.
It doesn't feel like a foul.
And when you put the circumstances together that I spoke about a moment ago, that's the position I'm assuming Gerard Gillett had.
