The Voice - Match preview #28: Bradford City vs Doncaster Rovers Saturday 31st January 2026 12:30pm

That's a good point.

 

The ref wasn’t going to disallow it and the linesman never flagged. It’s very dodgy despite it being the right decision.

 

Do we have VAR when we fancy??

 

We're winning this anyway.

 

Good point by Mark Bower on Radio Leeds - is the ref going to go to the 4th official to consult on all decisions for the rest of the match?

 

Bobby Pointon is well up for this. Good to see him getting properly involved.

 

Exactly. This needs looking into. I think the process is incorrect.

 

Would be a soft pen but Bailey didn’t go for the ball at all there. That would be a foul outside the box so..

 

I think the rules state that the ref can change their mind at any point before the restart even if they signal (I think!) - but idk it still feels very dodgy to wait almost 1-2 minutes to reach a decision that they'd have to be 100% on without the ability to watch a replay.

 

We seem up for this. Enjoyable game so far.

 

These lot are going down. Could be a good win today

 

Has humphrys won a header yet?

 

Yep, good to see us play like this.

 

Whatever happens today I'm already satisfied that the last few games were a blip. This is the best we've played since early season.

 

We’ve started much better but need to capitalise on it.

 

Sometimes it's about having the right angle rather than being closest, but I can't see how the 4th official had the best angle? Surely Jackson had his back to the official at the halfway line? I think he's responded to the reaction of the Donny Players

 

We're getting plenty of crosses in.

 

He's struggling to control the ball. Pointon a bit too. If it stuck more, we'd have been on the front foot more.

 

Touray is terrible kicking down the line.

 

Neufville giving it a go to beat his man is brilliant to see. Hope he keeps it up after a bit of a drop in form.
