And the referee then, the maximum he can do normally in all the matches we've seen so far is,

he can send the player for an off-field review to the bunker.

But for some extraordinary reason, Europe aren't using the bunker.

That's confused a lot of people.

I have a lot of texts, come on, why did he just give me a yellow card?

Why didn't he send him for review?

So that's sort of an aside to the main question.

The question of what's been happening in France has been going on for over 20 years, because when I was there on the committee, European committee that appointed match officials and dealt with all these things, there were discussions with the French Federation and the leagues as to why this was happening.

Now, what is happening, in my view, is this, that if the TMO sees it, as I've just said, he will deal with it properly.

And we've seen it 90 times in 100, it's dealt with properly.

If he misses it and he doesn't go to the referee,

Then it is up to the TV director to decide what he replays.

Now, following this, I think it was yesterday or the day before, the French television said, hold on, we are not to blame.

We will put up everything we're asked to put up.

This is down to the TMO.

If he wants something, we will give it to him.

But if TMO has missed it, he's not going to say anything.

So therefore, can we be a little bit suspicious?

that if it's a visiting team, that the French director will do nothing if something is missed.

And if it's the home team, if it's against the home team, will he show it ad nauseum so that the TMO says, oh, I've missed that.
