Of course it matters, If the lino received information from a 3rd party via his earpiece from someone who had seen a replay, then its wrong.
Obv the truth will never come out, so we will never know.
The standard of refereeing is woeful in the premier league though, something needs to be done and quick.
I Disagree.
People say ref'ing now a days is crap, but the job of ref'ing a match isn't just down to one man, its down to 3 or even 4 if need be.
If one doesn't have a clear view or is unsure of what happened, and another does, they come to a collective agreement.
I think it was a very nice move by both with the way things have been lately.
