| 1638484824200552448 | Gillingham made a 5th sub in a 4th window (all windows after half time) last night in their game with Crewe @DaleJohnsonESPN. Is it the club's or ref's responsibility to get this right, and what could the consequences be? | 2 |
| 1637873059209027604 | Monday evening, TtB time👍💙@EvertonHeritage @Paddy_Boyland @snellyradio @PaulBrownEFC @kj_1878 @vinerbrian @philmcnulty @cbeesleyEcho @joe_thomas18 @adam_jones94 @ahunterguardian @dylanfearon_ @nmartyn25 @EFCSA @dalejohnsonespn @EfcEdsa @everton_limbs @stevejohnson95 @jimmyball8 https://t.co/f66MlZONhB | 1 |
| 1637814108090257409 | @DaleJohnsonESPN It was less aggressive but it was out of order. I can understand the assistant not doing anything on the day, alot was going on but the fa doing nothing sent a message to everyone. Bruno got embarrassed by trent and shoved the assistant in the back. | 1 |
| 1637845859693129728 | @DaleJohnsonESPN What about Philip billing vs arsenal, last man on the line and arm slightly away from his body? Wasn’t even calluses a foul? | 0 |
| 1637852484990369792 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @James_Fielden Particularly around the turned down review after the shirt pull. Did he see it initially and decide no foul if so then no need to visit review area surely?! I’m baffled by the inconsistency of it. | 0 |
| 1637855041762516994 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @AbGrandad @OliJuliusson No idea what this still is meant to show. The footage clearly showed Smith effectively tipping an on-target header over the bar, from 2-3 yards out, clearly preventing a certain goal. The keeper and defenders were nowhere near it. Your view is crackers. Obviously | 0 |
| 1637854420355407875 | @SergioGomezOut @DaleJohnsonESPN Was wondering about this one, may be because it curled pretty wide of Jesus and so it wasn’t judged to have blocked the view? Haven’t seen a great angle from behind the keeper though | 0 |
| 1637854399622987777 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @James_Fielden I was a huge fan of VAR’s introduction but I’m just not sure anymore that it is actually helping the game. Thanks for the review each week though Dale, glad you can make sense of it all. | 0 |
| 1637854012836831248 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @James_Fielden It is worrying though if two referees can’t even agree that a pull of the shirt like that is a foul. | 0 |

| 1637824321417801728 | @DaleJohnsonESPN This part is absolutely incorrect. Either you didn't see the Bruno push or you're making this up. It was an aggressive shove made in anger after he tried to rip the ball out of a player's hands. If the referee had any courage he would have sent him off. https://t.co/h5KOthM5xv https://t.co/J8FX247xfl | 16 |

| 1637843071348908033 | @DaleJohnsonESPN It's a testament to the failure of VAR that @DaleJohnsonESPN has to do a weekly piece explaining the decisions 🤷♂️ Let's hear the Ref's conversations, see screen replays and have visibility of time keeping - all in stadium, or is the game only targeted at armchair fans? @FA_PGMOL | 7 |
| 1638159668563390464 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @brianphelan16 No? Pushing a player mid air is dangerous let alone against the rules. Your take on this is surprising verging on mind blowing. | 4 |
| 1637815330226438145 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @supanova_7 Dale, I know you're from Greater Manchester, but honestly! Fernandes had already shoved Alexander-Arnold, the assistant gently intervened to stop him, and he got a shove for it. He should have been sent off. It wasn't as bad as Mitrovic, but it's the same offence. | 4 |
| 1638147532873236486 | @DaleJohnsonESPN 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/UScQ500nkh | 3 |
| 1638166839942426624 | @DaleJohnsonESPN Thanks for that, Dale. Brilliant article. | 2 |
| 1638159689224531968 | @DaleJohnsonESPN It’s an excellent piece. I’m not sure many fans will read it fully. It may help remove the idea there is no scrutiny or accountability but for the anti-referee brigade it will be meaningless. | 2 |
| 1638155926300418051 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @brianphelan16 What?! If that's anywhere else on the pitch it's a free kick. Why is it different when it's inside the penalty area? This is what drives us fans absolutely bonkers! | 2 |
| 1638154948717191169 | @DaleJohnsonESPN @brianphelan16 Really? Both hands raised and pushing into the Fulham player’s back, easily enough force to make him miss his header. I can’t see how that’s not a foul | 2 |
