Ref Watch is back to debate another selection of controversial decisions from some of the weekends Premier League matches. Former top-flight official Dermot Gallagher came into the Sky Sports News HQ studio on Monday morning to analyse the big refereeing decisions from another packed weekend of football.From debatable handball decisions to red cards, Gallagher has it all covered.... MATCH: Burnley v Arsenal, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 1: Laurent Koscielny scores winning goalSCENARIO: With Arsenal chasing a winning goal from the final attack of the game, the ball gets crossed in from the right and a combination of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Koscielny force it home. Replays showed the final touch came off the Arsenal defenders hand. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: First thing to say is hes not offside from the cross and flick-on. I think its Walcott with the flick-on, so its not offside. Handball has to be deliberate, but I dont think its handball.It struck him and we are stuck with the rule where it has to be deliberate. People said his arms were up but thats because he used his arms for elevation. He has actually mis-kicked it, it has flown up and hit him, so its not hand to ball, its ball to hand. There is nothing wrong in the law with what happened. See Koscielny’s controversial winner INCIDENT No 2: Shkodran Mustafi remonstrates with the refereeSCENARIO: Mustafi was pulled up for a foul on Sam Vokes, remonstrates with the referee and even uses him to simulate his innocence by backing into him. DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decision to avoid a bookingDERMOT SAYS: I think under current climate he was very lucky not to get a yellow card. He thought Vokes had fouled him, but as he said afterwards on Twitter he should not have done it and hopefully that will send out a message that he wont do it again and it wont happen again. Watch Mustafi’s demonstration MATCH: Manchester United v Stoke, Premier League, SundayINCIDENT No 3: Ander Herrera catches Joe Allen in midfield with a high bootSCENARIO: Herrera went in with his studs up and caught Allen high up the leg, but the Spaniard only received a yellow card.DERMOTS VERDICT: Incorrect decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think if the referee had seen the view we have got it would have been red. Its high, dangerous and the ball has gone. Unfortunately the referee has a square-on view behind Allen and hasnt seen the impact and severity of the challenge. Should Herrera have seen red? INCIDENT No 4: Paul Pogba tussles with Allen on the edge of the boxSCENARIO: Pogba appears to bring down Allen off the ball, in front of the referee, and does not get booked.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think the referee has done well. It happened right in front of him and he has stopped it and sent out a message that its not allowed. Pogba was not booked for a challenge on Allen MATCH: Everton v Crystal Palace, Premier League, FridayINCIDENT No 5: Damien Delaney gives away foul which leads to Everton goalSCENARIO: Delaney is penalised for raising his boot too high towards Jagielka. The ball hits Jagielkas hands as he lifts them to protect himself.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: Its definitely a foul by Delaney, you cant raise your foot that high. Jagielka handles the ball afterwards but the referee has whistled for the first foul by Delaney. Was Delaney rightly penalised? INCIDENT No 6: Delaney has the ball in the net but its disallowed for offsideSCENARIO: Delaney heads home from a cross but the flag goes up for offside, seemingly against James McArthur, who was making a run in the middle of the box and may have distracted the keeper.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think they have got this correct and it was good what they did. The assistant, Simon Bennett, has seen McArthur in an offside position but is not aware of where he is and how he is impacting anybody. Referee Jon Moss has a different view, so they discuss it and then make the decision.Its the fact McArthur goes for the ball and the keeper cant make his mind what to do until that happens. The referee has to decide whether he has made enough of an attempt to play the ball and the answer is yes. Were Palace wrongfully denied? MATCH: Hull v Chelsea, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 7: Victor Moses goes down in the penalty areaSCENARIO: Moses dribbles into the area and Adama Diomande dangles a leg in his direction. Moses goes down and appeals for a penalty but nothing is given. Has the way hes gone down counted against him?DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I dont think its a penalty. I think Diomande played the ball, thats why it changes direction, and Moses goes over his leg. Was Moses making a meal of it? INCIDENT No 8: Willian hits the deck after a tackle by Curtis DaviesSCENARIO: The Brazilian bursts into the area and Davies makes a last-ditch tackle from an awkward angle. He wins the ball with his right foot but on his follow through takes out Willian. No foul is awarded. DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: No penalty. He gets the ball again. He has enough of it and the play continues. The referee saw the ball played and I dont think its a foul. See the tackle on Willian in the box MATCH: Swansea City v Liverpool, Premier League, SaturdayINCIDENT No 9: Daniel Sturridge gets booked for simulation SCENARIO: After coming on as a substitute, Sturridge was shown a yellow card by referee Michael Oliver for going down under a challenge from Wayne Routledge inside the area.DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decisionDERMOT SAYS: I think its the right decision. He made the contact himself and cannoned off the defender. The referee has done well there. As a referee you have to be right. There is nothing worse for a referee than booking someone for simulation and then you see it later and its a foul. If you are going to give a yellow card for simulation you have to be right.

And I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of my experiences gained through International competition and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Seven NHL referees and six linesmen will be assigned upcoming games in Sochi by the IIHF as part of their 28-man officiating roster comprised of 14 refs and 14 linesmen.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although Stephane Robidas isnt a flashy player, the sturdy defenceman could be exactly what the high-flying Anaheim Ducks need in their Stanley Cup chase. The Ducks acquired Robidas from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday for a conditional fourth-round pick in this years draft. The overall NHL leaders made three deals on the day before the leagues trade deadline, shaking up their roster with 20 games left in the regular season. Anaheim also sent backup goalie Viktor Fasth to Edmonton and shipped forward Dustin Penner to Washington. Although the 37-year-old Robidas wont return from a broken leg for at least two more weeks, the Ducks were eager to acquire a hard-nosed veteran with superior passing skills and a nasty edge to his game. Theyre all attributes Anaheim could use in its attempt to back up its outstanding regular season with playoff success. The Ducks lead the NHL with 91 points and three straight victories heading into Wednesdays game against Montreal, but theyve won just one playoff series since winning their franchises only Stanley Cup title in 2007. Robidas knew he probably didnt have a future with the Stars, who havent discussed a contract extension with him. When he heard Anaheim was interested, he jumped at the chance to play in the post-season for the first time since 2008, when Dallas eliminated the defending champion Ducks in the first round. "Were going for a Stanley Cup, and thats what Ive been waiting for for a long time," said Robidas, who is joining his fourtth NHL club.dddddddddddd "I think its a great opportunity for me, and Im just very excited for the chance the Ducks are giving me." Robidas hasnt played since breaking his leg against Chicago on Nov. 29 while crashing into the boards behind the net, but he has been participating extensively in practice. He had four goals and one assist in 24 games for the Stars this season. "Everything has been going really well," Robidas said of his recovery. "Ive just got a few little things I need to get a little more comfortable." Robidas should add experience and toughness to a defence that has spent the entire season without veteran Sheldon Souray, who got hurt in summer training. Robidas should be familiar to some Ducks fans from that 2008 playoff series in which Anaheims Todd Marchant accidentally broke Robidas nose with the puck -- and Robidas returned to the game shortly afterward. "Thats how I play," Robidas said. "Im not a finesse player. I know my role. I know what I need to do. I know how I need to play, and Im not going to change the way Ive been playing. Im going to be the same player, and I think thats why they came and they got me." Robidas is seventh in Dallas club history with 704 games played. He has 211 points in two stints with Dallas, his home for all but 45 NHL games since 2002. The draft pick acquired by the Stars becomes a third-rounder if the Ducks reach the Western Conference finals and Robidas plays in half their playoff games.
