Former referee Dermot Gallagher casts his eye over the controversial incidents from the weekend's Premier League and Old Firm action...

This was really interesting because it got flagged by VAR. I listened to the VAR. Maddison had already got a yellow card and I thought it would be a very interesting decision. 'The VAR came to the decision, and I quote, 'no evidence of violent conduct'. That's his choice. 'What I will say is, the referee has to be guided by VAR because he doesn't see it. VAR doesn't send him to the screen so he doesn't see the incident again.

can't see what the argument is really. He's in contact with the goalkeeper, he's directly in line with him, he's got to impact him, he's in an offside position. 'I don't think the goalkeeper has any chance of stopping the ball because he can't move. I think offside.' SUE SMITH SAYS: 'I think this is a poor decision. I feel Fabianski can move. It's not like he's pinning him, he's just standing in front of him.

Not a nice tackle. I think he must be very, very high on the yellow card threshold. 'The referee thinks he's low but his other foot isn't. Cole Palmer gets up and smiles - it defuses it a lot. He's done him a big favour.' WARNOCK SAYS: 'Really lucky boy. You are talking about endangering another player's safety and that's potentially a leg-breaker. 'He's lucky that Palmer knows he's coming into the challenge.
