On Monday, the ref made a mistake at Palmer's free kick, the mark for the ball was about 5 feet from the penalty Arc (which is 10 yards from penalty spot) but the ref marked the wall about one foot from the penalty spot. I saw it from the West stand and you can see the marking on the Sky highlights, it gave Palmer a 4 foot advantage.
And while I'm in a picky mood, the penalty circle (not a spot anymore it seems!), is measured 12 yards from it's centre to the goal line. Penalty takers are taking the penalty goal side of the 'spot', that's about an eight inch advantage (compared to the ball being on the spot). Same for everyone I guess but odd nevertheless. |  | | |  |

Judging by the cut lines on the pitch, which are 6 yards wide, the wall was almost 12 yards away from the ball. Yes we noticef it too. |  | | |

I raised it at the time here. How can professional refs get this wrong? Nearly created a goal. |  | | |

Good reffing performance on the whole, but perhaps he was from Norfolk and counted the ten yards out with his fingers? |  |

I could also point out that our wall had no draught excluder behind it but somehow this doesn't seem the right thread to write that... |  |

Good job and all.....stupid embarrassing schoolboy thing to do.

There was one free kick in a fairly central position where Palmer picked the foam mark up and moved it - not sure if it's the one you are referring to. Ref didn't see it and either the assistant ref/4th official didn't see it or if they did the ref didn't act on anything they said. | |

I fear “interesting” might be overstating it somewhat
As in Steve “interesting “ Davis |  | | |

The VAR should be marking out things like this to the nearest nanometer |  |
