I think she is great. She is just explaining the rules. I can't remember any ref analyst being so clear and knowledgeable.
The bird ref has just explained the handball perfectly.
The block is subjective because it may be a foul but is rarely given. Why? Because it's allowed to be subjective. Are you telling me that's the first block there's been at this tournament? How many have you seen given.
You are completely missing my point or being disingenuous. I'm not arguing against it being a foul. I'm arguing that the Germans had more to complain about than the Danes. Offside is automated. Crystal clear.
I totally disagree. She explained the rules perfectly.
You mean because she explained why the calls were correct and not the way you wanted them?
We might not like the rules but the referee team got every big decision correct and the right team won.
Media deplorable for banging on about the rules. Learn the fucking rules you idiots

Woman ref explains perfectly why the rules were applied while one guy who's never been a ref or a player and 3 old fucking has beens shout at clouds about jumpers for fucking goal posts.
She's actually very good. If Bt Sport asked Peter Walton those questions under pressure he'd talk about needing larger pockets in shorts to keep hands hidden before choking on a biscuit
Hairline decisions are bullshit. Toenails and fingernails should not be deciding football games.
The rules need to be changed.
Because there will be less contention if the margins are made even bigger?
A line has the be drawn.
Most of Germany's clear cut chances came when Denmark were chasing the game though. Always going to happen. Germany deserved the win but with a better striker up front that game could have had a very different ending.

Yeah, on this, definitely. He sounds like a dick. He was saying the ref didn't give it so why should VAR look at the handball. Ignoring the fact the ball hits his hand on the other side of the player to where the ref is standing. It's not rocket science to realise the ref didn't give it because he didn't see it clearly and knows if it is handball, VAR refs will flag it and let him have a look.
I don't think lines need to be drawn.
Clear and obvious mistakes need to be corrected.
That is all.
She wasn't 'justifying' decisions, she was explaining how the technology worked. Don't shoot the messenger. She jokily made a comment at the end, basically saying, it wasn't her personal view.
McCoist on co commentary too.
