Ref Watch is back to debate another batch of controversial decisions from the weekends football fixtures. Weve got yet another bumper edition this week as former top-flight referee Dermot Gallagher joined Rob Wotton in the Sky Sports News HQ studio to go through a number of contentious calls, not only in the Premier League but also an unusual incident in League TwoFrom questionable penalty decisions, two yellow card incidents and a bizarre disallowed goal, we have picked out eight incidents reviewed during Mondays Ref Watch. Was your team affected by a contentious decision? Read on to find out...MATCH: Crystal Palace v Liverpool, SundayINCIDENT: Penalty given to Liverpool in injury time. Referee Andre Marriner felt Damien Delaney made contact with Christian Benteke in the box and a penalty was awarded. Should Liverpools injury-time penalty against Crystal Palace have been awarded? It was a decision hotly debated between Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry SCENARIO: In the 94th minute, Delaney dived in on Benteke in the penalty box with the referee Marriner feeling there was enough contact to award a penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: A decision that has polarised opinion. I think no, but there are many people that think yes. I have watched this all the time and I think no, but what this does highlight to me is that if we have a video referee and we go to the video referee, we are still not going to get a decision that everybody is going to agree on. The reason I say that is that the two guys sat here - Neil McCann and Ray Parlour - spoke to me earlier and they are poles apart. One says penalty and one says no.The law has to be applied from minute one to minute 90, there is no comfort zone for saying: It is 90+4 and you cannot give a penalty.MATCH: Crystal Palace v Liverpool, SundayINCIDENT: James Milner sent off for two yellow cards. James Milners second yellow card was given after a challenge on Wilfried Zaha SCENARIO: The first yellow card came in the 40th minute when James Milner went in late on Yohan Cabaye. The second yellow was given for a tough challenge on Wilfried Zaha just past the hour mark.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think he can have no complaints. The first tackle on Cabaye is just late and reckless and everybody expects a yellow card. It is just a tackle that every player is going to get a yellow card for in the Premier League in any match.The second one he has gone in from behind to stop a counter-attack, he is reckless and gives the referee no alternative but to send him off. And unfortunately it is just a case of two mistimed tackles equals red.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Francis Coquelin sent off for two yellow cards. Coquelins tackle on Kane saw him get sent off SCENARIO: Coquelin brought down Eric Dier on the half-hour mark. The Frenchman was given a second yellow for a late tackle on Harry Kane on the touchline.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: Michael [Oliver] did not think [that he was fouled in the build-up to his first yellow], but what you can definitely say is that he committed a yellow-card offence. It is interesting as he went to play advantage and then came back to give a free-kick and quiet rightly yellow carded him. He has handled the ball and stopped the play.His body tells you everything [for the second yellow] and unfortunately it is a decision Michael cannot not make.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Possible foul by Eric Dier on Olivier Giroud after already being on a yellow card. Eric Dier and Olivier Girous tussled near the halfway line SCENARIO: Giroud got past Dier but is then pulled back by the midfielder. Its a free-kick to Arsenal but no yellow card for Dier, who had already been booked.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: He pulls him back and stops a promising attack, so you cannot argue with that.The second one he hauls him down and I have no idea why Michael did not send him off. I think everybody would expect to be sent off. What I would say is the thing to learn about for the referee is that if he had to stand here, I think it would be easier for him to explain sending off the player than to try defending not sending him off. I think that is the key issue here. I cannot give a case for not sending him off, but I can certainly give a case for sending him off.MATCH: Tottenham v Arsenal, SaturdayINCIDENT: Hector Bellerin brings down Dele Alli when already on a yellow card Hector Bellerin and Dele Alli were involved in a collision SCENARIO: Alli is pulled back by the Arsenal right-back on the halfway line, but is not given a second yellow cardGALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think the first one is definitely right, without a doubt, as once he has gone past he is away and has an avenue to go in and has a good promising attack, and he has stopped it.The second one I am not so sure about. It is on the halfway line, but is it stopping a promising attack? Is it breaking up a promising move? I think he is on the wing on the halfway line, and this is a case where there has to be a stepping process. And in this case that is pulling him over and saying: Listen this is your last chance. Because at that point, he is not stopping a promising attack, it is not what I would say is a mandatory yellow card.MATCH: West Brom v Manchester United, SundayINCIDENT: Juan Mata sent off after picking up two yellow cards for separate fouls on West Broms Darren Fletcher. Mata appears to make contact with Darren Fletcher, resulting in a yellow card for the Spaniard SCENARIO: Booked for blocking a Darren Fletcher free-kick, then received a second yellow for another challenge on Fletcher just 26 minutes in.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The first one he is delaying a restart. At the time, you never think of a second yellow, he is just taking one for the team.The second one, it is life and no matter how nice a guy is - I once sent off Matt Le Tissier and you could not meet a nicer guy! - the law does not allow you to pick and choose. He has committed a second yellow card and unfortunately he has got to go.MATCH: Everton v West Ham, SaturdayINCIDENT: Evertons Kevin Mirallas sent off for two bookings, the second one was a challenge on Aaron Cresswell. Kevin Mirallas was sent off after receiving a second yellow for a foul on Aaron Cresswell SCENARIO: Having already been booked for diving, Mirallas went in late on Aaron Cresswell as he tried to clear the ball. Red card was given in the 35th minute.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: For the first yellow, it was the right call. The good thing is the referee is in the right spot, so he has the perfect view. He has got an angled view so he can see and so he has got a better view than us as he is looking sideways on and can see there is no contact and he has yellow carded him for attempting to deceive him.He has paid a heavy price for the first one and he has actually been sent off for the first one really, because for the tackle, he is going to get a yellow card every day of the week. But the first one could have been avoided. It is just instinctive really, he has gone for the ball and the referee has gone for his card.MATCH: Everton v West Ham, SaturdayINCIDENT: Mohamed Besic blocks Dimitri Payets shot in the box with his hand. Mohamed Besic blocks Dimitri Payets shot with his hand, but did he enough time to bring it back down? SCENARIO: The ball is floated across the box to Payet, whose volley then strikes Besics hand in the penalty area, but the referee gives no penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think he is right. If you watch, he is so close, he has turned, it has come so fast, he has made no attempt to play the ball. But it comes back to every week we are talking about handballs. Handball to me is the new offside, it is every week we are looking at it, but I think that would be very, very harsh.MATCH: Chelsea v Stoke, SaturdayINCIDENT: Erik Pieters on Oscar in the 79th minute after already being booked. No second yellow given. Dermot Gallagher feels Erik Pieters should have got a second yellow card after fouling Oscar SCENARIO: Pieters looked to have kicked Oscar, claiming the Brazilian made too much of it afterwards. Clattenburg doesnt issue a second yellow.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The first one was late and reckless. I think was is also good is that the assistant flags this as well as he has got the best view, which reinforces it.I do not think the second one is a yellow card as he pulls out and does not go in recklessly. It is a foul and not every foul is a yellow card.Match: Chelsea v Stoke, SaturdayINCIDENT: Oscar falls over in the box under a challenge from Marc Muniesa. Dermot Gallagher feels Marc Muniesas challenge on Oscar warranted a penalty SCENARIO: Oscar turns Muniesa in the penalty area, before being brought down by the Stoke defender, but referee Mark Clattenburg decides it is not a penalty.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think it is a foul and is in the penalty area. I think that should be a penalty, but for whatever reason the officials did not. Maybe the referee saw it from a different angle to me, I do not know, but from every angle I have seen Muniesa pushes over Oscar and he never once plays the ball.MATCH: Southampton v Sunderland, SaturdayINCIDENT: Jose Fonte sent off for foul on Sunderlands Fabio Borini. Jose Fonte was sent off for pulling back Fabio Borini SCENARIO: Saints skipper Fonte is sent off for pulling back Borini as the Sunderland striker runs clean through on goal in the 79th minute. A red card is issued.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision.GALLAGHER SAYS: The only decision is, is it a foul? I do not think he has played the ball, but once the referee has given the foul, there is no choice and he has to go as it is denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind that if he is not fouled, the player gets free and goes on to have an attempt on goal.The assistant referee did not give it, but maybe over the headset he has said to the referee… That is the one thing about the communication system that we see no tangible evidence. He may have said, he may not, but if he had flagged it would have reinforced the referees decision.MATCH: Wimbledon v Accrington Stanley, SaturdayINCIDENT: Accrington take the lead just seconds after the referee blows for half-time Referee Trevor Kettle blew for half-time just as Accringtons Billy Kees shot hit the back of the net. Were Stanley hard done by? SCENARIO: Accringtons Billy Kee appears to score the opening goal, but referee Trevor Kettle chalks it off as he blew for half-time just as Kee shot.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Technically a correct decision, but not one he would have made.GALLAGHER SAYS: I can only put myself in that position and I think if I was in that position and I see a player turning in the box, I cannot be accurate to a split second when half-time is, so I do not think I would be blowing then. I think I would either blow long before he turns and shoots, or I would blow after he shot. I would not blow in the middle and you just see the furore it caused at half-time.As you say, technically he is right, but I do not know how he can be so accurate and how he wants to risk such match control because you saw what unfolded afterwards and I think that is probably a very difficult second half to referee.

NAPA, Calif. -- The comeback is on hold, along with a sobering admission from Tiger Woods. His game is vulnerable and not yet ready for competition. And perhaps not for prime time viewing, either.How much this has to do with Woods own insecurities about his game and how it might look are all part of the complex package you get when dealing with someone who was so stunningly good for so long and who is now faced with being far away from those dizzying heights of greatness.After a lot of soul-searching and honest reflection, I know that I am not yet ready to play on the PGA Tour or compete in Turkey, Woods said on his website. My health is good, and I feel strong, but my game is vulnerable and not where it needs to be.That Woods, 40, would be so blunt as to his own deficiencies right now is jarring, even knowing that the 14-time major winner has been through a significant amount of pain and a slow rehabilitation from two surgeries late in 2015.It was Woods, after all, who opened up the door to this return, saying more than a month ago that he hoped to be back this week at the Safeway Open but also noting that he had a lot of work to do in that period to get ready.The Ryder Cup -- where he was a vice captain in Minnesota -- and Hurricane Matthew near his South Florida home didnt help from a preparation standpoint. Neither was a Tiger Woods Foundation event on Monday and Tuesday a couple of hours down the road from here at Pebble Beach, where he was the host of a big fundraiser.And yet with all those distractions, Woods officially committed to the Safeway Open on Friday -- only to pull out three days later.The timing is odd and has led to numerous conspiracy theories about his motives. It certainly is not helped by the lack of information about his rehabilitation, his practice routine or how much golf he has played.Notah Begay, Woods long-time friend who also works as an analyst for Golf Channel, said Monday that the golfer had only begun hitting drivers in earnest six weeks ago. And yet Woods agent, Mark Steinberg, said way back in April that Woods had worked that club back into his practice routine at that point.He was hitting drivers during a clinic, a full-out practice session and a five-hole outing when he opened up his Bluejack National golf course design in Houston later that month, but the information about his practice pretty much dried up afterward. Woods said in June that he had yet to put multiple days of golf together.There are no physical complications at all, Steinberg said Monday. I dont know if its mental or just (his) golf game. He hasnt played competitive golf in 14 months now. As hes worked at his game of late, he just felt it wasnt up to the quality necessary to compete right now.Why Woods felt his game was OK on Friday but not on Monday is just another in a long line of mysteries surrounding the golfer, who has endured three back surgeries and four knee operations in a career that used to routinely see him rebound from layoffs, maladies and even arthroscopic procedures.ddddddddddddBut the back surgeries have been a different deal. Throw in his well-documented chipping woes from early in 2015 and it shows just how many pieces have to be put back together.Woods said that his first holes of golf came in April -- eight months after he had tied for 10th at the Wyndham Championship. Even there, Woods had swing issues that needed to be addressed, and they werent magically going to be cured when he first picked up a club again.So there were the physical problems to overcome, a work-in-progress swing and short-game issues, just to start. Then came the ability to practice and play regularly. Throw in the mental side of putting it all together and we have perhaps what has never been associated with Woods -- fragility.Those seven days at the Ryder Cup didnt help his preparation, but they certainly were a boost to his competitiveness.It gave him even more energy: Man, I want to be back in the locker room, Steinberg said. It lit even more of a fire for him. But when he realized that his game just wasnt there, it was very frustrating.Steinberg said Woods felt he didnt believe it was appropriate to make his return at the Turkish Airlines Open, a European Tour event. It was out of respect for the PGA Tour that he is skipping that tournament abroad next month, not some doom and gloom scenario that keeps him from being ready then.Of course, there are other PGA Tour events after that and before the Hero World Challenge in December in the Bahamas, where Woods hosts the annual tournament for his foundation.Perhaps he sees a softer opening for himself in the Bahamas. Woods has a home in the resort community of Albany on New Providence in The Bahamas and knows Albany Golf Course, one that is relatively benign. The tournament features just 18 players, but it was at the same event -- one he has won five times -- played in Orlando two years ago where he tied for last.The good news is Woods now has another two months to prepare. Hell have the various corporate and foundation duties that take up his time, but there should be plenty of room for repetitive rounds of golf, recovery and practice.The next step then is tournament golf, ugly or not. At some point, Woods needs to jump back between the ropes, take a few hits and learn to cope with the game on a level he made look so easy for so long.If not December, then when?
