Ref Watch is back to debate another selection of controversial decisions from some of the weekends Premier League matches. Former top-flight official Dermot Gallagher came into the Sky Sports News HQ studio on Monday morning to analyse the big refereeing decisions from another packed weekend of football.From debatable handball decisions to red cards, Gallagher has it all covered.... MATCH: Burnley v Arsenal, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 1: Laurent Koscielny scores winning goalSCENARIO: With Arsenal chasing a winning goal from the final attack of the game, the ball gets crossed in from the right and a combination of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Koscielny force it home. Replays showed the final touch came off the Arsenal defenders hand. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: First thing to say is hes not offside from the cross and flick-on. I think its Walcott with the flick-on, so its not offside. Handball has to be deliberate, but I dont think its handball.It struck him and we are stuck with the rule where it has to be deliberate. People said his arms were up but thats because he used his arms for elevation. He has actually mis-kicked it, it has flown up and hit him, so its not hand to ball, its ball to hand. There is nothing wrong in the law with what happened. See Koscielny’s controversial winner INCIDENT No 2: Shkodran Mustafi remonstrates with the refereeSCENARIO: Mustafi was pulled up for a foul on Sam Vokes, remonstrates with the referee and even uses him to simulate his innocence by backing into him. DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decision to avoid a bookingDERMOT SAYS: I think under current climate he was very lucky not to get a yellow card. He thought Vokes had fouled him, but as he said afterwards on Twitter he should not have done it and hopefully that will send out a message that he wont do it again and it wont happen again. Watch Mustafi’s demonstration MATCH: Manchester United v Stoke, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 3: Ander Herrera catches Joe Allen in midfield with a high bootSCENARIO: Herrera went in with his studs up and caught Allen high up the leg, but the Spaniard only received a yellow card.DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think if the referee had seen the view we have got it would have been red. Its high, dangerous and the ball has gone. Unfortunately the referee has a square-on view behind Allen and hasnt seen the impact and severity of the challenge. Should Herrera have seen red? INCIDENT No 4: Paul Pogba tussles with Allen on the edge of the boxSCENARIO: Pogba appears to bring down Allen off the ball, in front of the referee, and does not get booked.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think the referee has done well. It happened right in front of him and he has stopped it and sent out a message that its not allowed. Pogba was not booked for a challenge on Allen MATCH: Everton v Crystal Palace, Premier League, FridayINCIDENT No 5: Damien Delaney gives away foul which leads to Everton goalSCENARIO: Delaney is penalised for raising his boot too high towards Jagielka. The ball hits Jagielkas hands as he lifts them to protect himself.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: Its definitely a foul by Delaney, you cant raise your foot that high. Jagielka handles the ball afterwards but the referee has whistled for the first foul by Delaney. Was Delaney rightly penalised? INCIDENT No 6: Delaney has the ball in the net but its disallowed for offsideSCENARIO: Delaney heads home from a cross but the flag goes up for offside, seemingly against James McArthur, who was making a run in the middle of the box and may have distracted the keeper.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think they have got this correct and it was good what they did. The assistant, Simon Bennett, has seen McArthur in an offside position but is not aware of where he is and how he is impacting anybody. Referee Jon Moss has a different view, so they discuss it and then make the decision.Its the fact McArthur goes for the ball and the keeper cant make his mind what to do until that happens. The referee has to decide whether he has made enough of an attempt to play the ball and the answer is yes. Were Palace wrongfully denied? MATCH: Hull v Chelsea, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 7: Victor Moses goes down in the penalty areaSCENARIO: Moses dribbles into the area and Adama Diomande dangles a leg in his direction. Moses goes down and appeals for a penalty but nothing is given. Has the way hes gone down counted against him?DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I dont think its a penalty. I think Diomande played the ball, thats why it changes direction, and Moses goes over his leg. Was Moses making a meal of it? INCIDENT No 8: Willian hits the deck after a tackle by Curtis DaviesSCENARIO: The Brazilian bursts into the area and Davies makes a last-ditch tackle from an awkward angle. He wins the ball with his right foot but on his follow through takes out Willian. No foul is awarded. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: No penalty. He gets the ball again. He has enough of it and the play continues. The referee saw the ball played and I dont think its a foul. See the tackle on Willian in the box MATCH: Swansea City v Liverpool, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 9: Daniel Sturridge gets booked for simulation SCENARIO: After coming on as a substitute, Sturridge was shown a yellow card by referee Michael Oliver for going down under a challenge from Wayne Routledge inside the area.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think its the right decision. He made the contact himself and cannoned off the defender. The referee has done well there. As a referee you have to be right. There is nothing worse for a referee than booking someone for simulation and then you see it later and its a foul. If you are going to give a yellow card for simulation you have to be right.

TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Bob McKenzie both reported Thursday that there have been ongoing trade discussions between the Oilers and Los Angeles Kings over forward Sam Gagner. AShawn Robinson Jersey .C. -- Jackson Whistle made 26 saves for his first shutout of the season as the Kelowna Rockets blanked the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes 5-0 on Saturday in Western Hockey League action. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Darius-Slay-Draft-Jersey/ . “The shootout, theres nothing wrong with it, I think its an exciting part of the game but its just one small aspect,” said Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman. “Its a skill exhibition. If you can get it back closer to regular hockey and have it decided that way; that would be my preference.” “I dont think its a knock on the shootout, I think more of the managers would like to see it end in overtime,” added Washington Capitals GM George McPhee. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Tj-Lang-Draft-Jersey/ . Juventus announced details of the deal Saturday, saying that Morata signed a five-year contract with the club. The deal also includes an option for Madrid to buy Morata back for up to (euro)30 million ($40. Kerry Hyder Jersey . After Mariota was pushed around by Stanford on Thursday, finishing 20/34 with 250 yards and two touchdowns in Oregons Title hope-crushing defeat, hes going to need a poor performance or two from the remaining frontrunners to have a shot at the most coveted individual trophy in college sports.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Kerry, In the Canadiens/Oilers game Thursday night - third period - Lars Eller crosschecked Taylor Hall directly from behind, face first into the boards. And it was face first - Halls face was the first part of his body to make contact with the boards. He did not get his hands up in time to protect himself (and I watched it several times, frame by frame). But no major penalty? Seriously? In minor hockey that is at least a major and a game, and if you assessed a match, you would be justified. Whats the rationale? Because there was no blood or teeth lost? The non-call is particularly frustrating in comparison to the Mike Fisher hit on Cody Franson on Thursday night, which was not as bad but resulted in a major penalty and a game misconduct because Franson was bleeding all over the place - but only because his visor cut him (and if we want to get into players being driven into stanchions - Chara on Pacioretty is the standard, and there was no penalty on that one). Whats the explanation and wheres the consistency? Cole MacKay Cole: I totally concur with your assessment on this play and the resulting penalty should have been a major and game misconduct (rule 43—Checking from Behind) to Lars Eller for this dangerous hit. A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. Any player who cross-checks, pushes or charges from behind an opponent who is unable to protect or defend himself shall be assessed a major penalty and game misconduct. Note also that when a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed. While Taylor Hall did turn slightly toward the side boards after gaining possession of the puck it would be unreasonable to suggest that Hall did so intentionally to expose his back for the purpose of creating contact as described in rule 43.1. Lars Eller on the other hand travelled from his location in front of the Montreal goal and had sufficient time to alter both his approach and method of contact (cross-check directly from behind to opponents back) once Taylor Hall faced the boards and was placed in a vulnerable position. The visual picture presented by Taylor Halls snap/arch of his back and face-plant into the boards following the cross-check by Eller clearly fall within the languaage and application of rule 43—Check from Behind and should have been penalized as such.dddddddddddd I am not suggesting that there should be any further discipline to Lars Eller since we should recognize that while the hit was illegal Eller didnt utilize "excessive force" through the hit worthy of a suspension. The correct call (major and game misconduct boarding) was made last night when Mike Fisher pushed Cody Franson from behind creating some additional velocity at the last instance and causing Franson to contact the curved glass/stanchion at the end of the players bench. While Fransons visible injury most definitely had relevance to the application of a major penalty and game misconduct as prescribed in the boarding rule, the fact remains that a dangerous situation resulted from the unexpected push from behind by Fisher. Your call for "consistency" is well taken, Cole. It is imperative that the Referees differentiate between varying degrees of boarding, checks from behind and illegal checks to the head but more importantly not have any reluctance in assessing major penalties when warranted. Too many player suspensions have been imposed by the Player Safety Committee when a minor penalty or worse yet no penalty at all were assessed on the play. Brad Stuarts three-game suspension for what was ruled upon as an illegal check to the head of New York Ranger Rick Nash is the most recent example of this. That will likely change today, pending the outcome of an in-person hearing called for Patrick Kaleta of Buffalo (suspected illegal check to the head of Jack Johnson, Columbus) and a hearing for Vancouvers Alexander Edler (suspected illegal head check on Tomas Hertl, San Jose). Neither Kaleta nor Edler were penalized on the plays in question. I see one of the problems the Referees created for themselves and the game was the elimination of a major penalty (due to Refs reluctance to impose it) when an illegal check to the head is called. Rule 48 provides for a minor penalty or a match penalty. The major and game misconduct provisions were eliminated in this rule. So whenever an illegal check to the head is identified in a game at best it results in a minor penalty and the player remains in the game. Upon further review that player could ultimately be suspended for three plus games pending the outcome of a hearing. Putting consistency aside, for something as serious as the protection of a players head I think the rule and the application by many of the Refs is far too soft and short sighted.
