Wonder why he can’t go into more detail? possible he's heard something but hasn't been able to verify it so not saying anything until he can

you know I keep thinking the thread can't get any worse yet it finds a way

Well 4 referees disagree with this. One ref, VAR will never overturn a subjective (but wrong) decision like that. There are 4 refs in the var box with one main official, the others can challenge. The whole decision wasn't even reviewed. Yes? Point was that VAR won't change a subjective decision like that when the ref clearly thought it was a foul. then whats the point of them?

yes but the idiots on var should be able to see its in no way intentional which last time I checked was still in the laws of the game 'deliberate' is a horrendous grey area that most refs (I think from being told to) interpret as hand being in an unattural position, which sissokos was. Glad they're removing that word as refs cant read minds. the problem with that is you'll just have strikers firing the ball in the vague direction of defenders arms hoping to get a pen and on the basis of vars implementation in the champions league they'll bloody get them

oh come on just show whomever ran on not like not showing it stops it from happening anyway

its consistent with previous var pens (man utd vs psg comes to mind) but by christ do I hate it, no reason for any attacker not to just fire the ball at a defender hoping to catch him on the hand with that logic

we've seen pens just as stupid or even stupider

not for me tbh

oh sissoko

was the same in the europa league final think its only for the finals which is silly

why are bts commentators and pundits so shit

even worse if its all complete horseshit

this is remarkably pathetic from Arsenal even by their standards

struggle to see what the club has done wrong (in this case) they won't say anything until everythings done ashley and co aren't forcing this lot to mouth off to the press and its the very public nature of this is making me wary of this being true.

its entirely possible no one at the club knows anything at all about this tbh Ashley doesn't strike me as the type to keep Charnley and co informed on well anything

calling the fit and proper persons test "the so called fit and proper persons test" is a strange way of putting it in a statement and not confidence inspiring

I see complete insanity has set in this thread far faster than usual

Bielsa staying at leeds for another season

good fucking lord

What the hells the matter with people. Reacting to what local journos have said when it's blatantly obvious they know fuck all. Luke Edwards has wrote an article today saying a takeover is close and has now just come out and said scepticism is needed. Totally covered both sides there. The less said about the chronicle journos the better. lets be honest how could they know anything? Ashley doesn't like the press that's well known and I'd say most of the club employees including Charnley know about as much as we do tbh. And this Sheikh dude is from a region with a less than liberal attitude towards free speech and freedom of the press so some sports journalists are hardly going to have good contacts there

I don't think its a wind up from Ashley's end because ultimately I don't think he gives 2 thoughts about the club on any given day beyond has anyone met my asking price yet. And also I don't think he's competent enough to organise some kind of media campaign to pretend somethings happening. It doesn't rule out however this dude being a complete fraud making shit up

absolutely nothing

I literally cannot imagine a less rafa player than him

turns out its the suns old fake sheikh back with a vengeance
