Will he see a big drop off in decisions that go his way now he\u2019s playing abroad?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Walton:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cLet me just say that if you become an international referee then your refereeing language is always English and that\u2019s a directive from FIFA. So every international referee has to have a sort of pigeon understanding of English. That\u2019s how it\u2019s conducted. But I refereed many foreign players in the Premier League who didn\u2019t speak English and I clearly didn\u2019t speak their mother tongue either. So you referee on body language, you referee on facial expressions, you referee on arm movements and gestures. Look, I\u2019m sure there\u2019ve been a number of players who have cursed me in their mother tongue and I haven\u2019t a clue what they\u2019re saying and if they\u2019re smiling at me, I\u2019m thinking they\u2019re being polite. But ultimately if it becomes personal, if it becomes overtly recognisable then as a referee you deal with it. Harry Kane going to Germany, the referees will understand Harry Kane\u2019s body language and his feelings and I think Harry will understand the referee because the majority will speak pigeon English.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of getting less decisions in his favour, you don\u2019t pay \u00a3100m pounds for a player who is not in the midst of all the action. Harry was in a team at Spurs who, whilst they weren\u2019t competing for the title, were competing for European spots for sure. they\u2019re a fairly successful team. But he stood out and the standout player always attracts the attention. Because he was the England captain, people put two and two together and thought the referees were being lenient towards him. Well, look, I\u2019m going to say this now. They weren\u2019t being lenient towards him. But it was just because of his playing and his skill in his technique that he was being rewarded for his skill there in terms of getting into those positions. In Germany, he\u2019s going to be playing for an extremely successful team in Bayern Munich and I expect him to get as many decisions in his favour in the Bundesliga as he did in the Premier League because again he\u2019s playing for a team who will be on the front foot and Harry will be on the front foot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Question: Mikel Arteta was again caught harassing the fourth official during time added on, a new rule which managers need to adapt to. Does Arteta need reigning in already?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Walton:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI think Mikel has realised already because I think he said in a quote that he needs to temper his behaviour on the touchline and he\u2019s recognised this, but again it\u2019s down to emotions. I think the authorities have lapsed in the past in dealing with this and now we\u2019ve reached a position where it\u2019s difficult for individuals to reel back because it\u2019s been the norm. What we need to do is to make sure that we\u2019re consistent with our approach and that it doesn\u2019t become the norm. Mikel, as with a number of managers on Saturday, they get frustrated. But the authorities have said that they\u2019ll clamp down and whilst we have this clamp down, it will send that message out. What we don\u2019t want to see happening is in two months\u2019 time is Arteta again getting frustrated and showing his emotions and not being dealt with. That\u2019s the important thing. We\u2019ll watch this space, but ultimately I think even in the first week the managers collectively will realise that they\u2019re under scrutiny as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Question: Was Steve Cooper wrong to slam Michael Oliver over not checking with VAR possible Declan Rice handball?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Walton:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI heard the comments by Steve Cooper and he questioned it, rather than \u201cslamming\u201d it, as he has the right to question it and make people aware of it. Yes the ball did strike the arm, you can\u2019t deny that. The referee needs to have a look to see if the arm or the hand is in a natural position for that phase of play. That\u2019s all we need to do nowadays with hand ball. We complicate this all far too often. The referee and VAR came to the decision that for elevation purposes Declan Rice had his arm in a natural position. The arm wasn\u2019t above the shoulder so he wasn\u2019t jumping over with his arms up and the ball came from no more than a yard away from him and that was a natural position for his arm. The issue we have of course is that hand ball interpretation is slightly different depending on what competition you are actually taking part in. In Europe for the Champions League, we may well see that it is given as a hand ball and that\u2019s where the authorities need to come together collectively to say this is our interpretation irrespective of the competition that you\u2019re playing in. That\u2019s what confuses fans, that\u2019s what confuses pundits and of course players. But for Saturday\u2019s purposes in the Premier League that wasn\u2019t a hand ball because the arm was in a natural position. In fact, where else is Declan Rice going to put his arms?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Question: Were Chelsea lucky to get away without Nicolas Jackson conceding a penalty for handball? His hand was in an unnatural position when it hit him and the ball had travelled a long way.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Walton:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAgain I can\u2019t deny that the ball did strike the arm but the referee needs to factor in other things. Natural position, he\u2019s jumping again. He\u2019s jumping with his arms there, but by being in that position, was he making the area for the ball to strike bigger? So in other words, was he jumping like a star? No, he wasn\u2019t. The arm was actually in the same area as his torso. In fact if you take the arm away the ball is going to strike his chest.<\/p>\n<p>he wasn\u2019t making himself unnaturally bigger and that\u2019s an important factor. Did he gain anything? No he didn\u2019t, so it was the right decision for me, even though the ball had travelled some distance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Question: Did you catch any of Mike Dean\u2019s first appearance on <a href=\"\/football\/\">Soccer <\/a>Saturday? This weekend and how did you rate his performance?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Walton:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes I did. He\u2019s got to get a jacket that fits him! That\u2019s one thing for sure. Mike had a really nice introduction, because Saturday\u2019s games didn\u2019t really throw up too many contentious decisions or too many talking points, which is good for the game of course because that means we\u2019re talking about players and goals and managers rather than referees. But he already displayed some of his quick wit that I mentioned before and I think for a debut he probably scores a 7 out of 10. But when the pressure is on, we\u2019ll see how we scores then. So if he just sorts his wardrobe out and I think he\u2019s on a good \u2018un there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an exclusive interview with SafeBettingSites.com, former Premier League referee Peter Walton provides his opinion on refereeing decisions for the opening weekend of English top flight football.
