Michael Carrick goes in on the officiating & VAR: “It's clear [Stuart Attwell]'s definitely got one of them wrong because he's given one penalty for us for the same thing that he's not given. There's a two arm grab. So Maguire's one he gives the second one on, Amad's he doesn't. Which is, I think it's almost identical really, if you two hands on someone in a box and they go over and they're in control of the ball. For me it's two penalties, but be interesting to see which one they acknowledge is wrong, whether the one we got or the one that we didn't get. And it's a huge moment and you don't give it. They go down the other end and score and then becomes all of a sudden, oh, it needs to be a bigger penalty penalty to overturn just because they scored, when actually it's a penalty and it should be a penalty if you already give one. So a bit baffling really to make sense of that. And because they score, then the game flips a little bit and changes. And then we ended up, I thought we defended with the 10 men after all that very well. And the boys coming off the bench and finishing the game really strong. So that was a big positive for us to take the point in the end because we've seen them win late here and so we take that. But the penalty one is just astonishing. I have to say, one of them must be wrong.. Once it's done, it's done. You know, I think you can have all, all the conversations in the world about could it have been this, could it have been that? I just think, you know, surely if they've already just given everyone and agree that was a penalty, surely the next one should be a straightforward one. As I say, one of them's got to be right or the wrong or whatever, do you know what I mean? But after it, it's no point [apologising] whatever comes. Whether they apologise or don't, it's done now.” [@BeanymanSports]

FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.” “He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI
