On: Why have there been so many own goals at the Euros...

[truculent]

The increase in disallowed goals is due to new guidance to referees in the face of video assistance. They are instructed to let play go on and then check it after the possession has come to an end to prevent any dangerous chances being incorrectly stopped prematurely.

Thanks, that makes total sense (as guidance how to apply it). Is that a new thing?

[colourgarden → elcapitan]

Yes. I've seen it happen a few times before but this is now the directive (and a very positive one, in my opinion).

[Slartie → colourgarden]

The referee at yesterday's England vs. Denmark match apparently didn't get the memo.
