'I don't understand': Stephen Warnock has his say on Bruno Guimarares' disallowed goal against Ipswich Town

Every Monday, Sky Sports News has its Ref Watch section, and we're pretty sure they could have devoted an entire show to Michael Salisbury's efforts in the game between Newcastle United and Ipswich Town on Saturday and still not have got through everything.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher picks through the weekend's controversial incidents and says why certain decisions were given the way they were, or will point out when a decision was wrong, and he's joined by former players Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith to give the players' view on things.

The trio looked at Ben Johnson's double booking, namely the first yellow for simulation, they questioned whether Dan Burn's goal should have been ruled out and also looked at the Bruno Guimaraes disallowed goal.

Dermot Gallagher was fairly non-committal with his views on all three incidents, instead speculating purely on the decision-making process rather than offering up his own opinion. Thankfully, Stephen Warnock was there to talk some sense.

The lack of consistency when booking players for diving is what's causing confusion

Starting off with Ben Johnson's first booking for simulation. We've said that we felt it was harsh, and we sympathise with Ipswich on this one, but what Stephen Warnock says about it absolutely sums up our thoughts on it.

"I think he's expecting contact and not wanting to get clattered into. You either implement this through every game or not at all. There's so many games where I've gone, 'well book him then' and he doesn't."

We've all said it. If it's not a free-kick, then surely it's a yellow card. So while it's soft, it was right. The issue comes with the inconsistency of how that rule is applied.

Bruno Guimaraes can feel cheated for having his goal disallowed

As for Bruno Guimaraes' disallowed goal, we did wonder whether we were just looking at it with black and white specs on, as to us we couldn't see any infringement from Bruno, it was more a case of the Ipswich 'keeper running into him, and Bruno was only in that position because he was pushed there by the Ipswich defender. Again, Stephen Warnock was the voice of reason after Dermot Gallagher claimed that the fact that Bruno turned his back on the 'keeper swayed the referee.

"I don't understand why it's not given. He stands his ground. He doesn't influence anything the goalkeeper does. The goalkeeper runs into him. From Burno's point of view, he's expecting a knee in the back and the keeper to claim it. I'm not having that at all. It's soft."

Finally, they briefly looked at whether Dan Burn's goal should have stood due to the fact that the ball was moving before Kieran Trippier struck it for the corner - I have to admit, I'd not even noticed this in all the replays I've watched, but Dermot Gallagher explained how it was allowed to count.

"The VAR doesn't check restarts but the assistant isn't looking at the ball and that's where the damage is done."
