The top flight are not happy with the retired referee's recent comments on a VAR decision he made during a Chelsea Tottenham game
versus which was pathetic from my point of view. It's one of them where if I had my time again, what would I do? I'd send Anthony to the screen.
"I think I knew if I did send him to the screen… he's cautioned both managers, he's had a hell of a game, it's been such a tough game end to end. That was a major error. If they don't score from the corner it is not as big an issue." He added:"I said to Anthony afterwards: 'I just didn't want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game'.
"I didn't want to send him up because he is a mate as well as a referee and I think I didn't want to send him up because I didn't want any more grief than he'd already had."
