Erikse Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) There needs to be a balance, we can't have half the game be VAR stopping the play to evaluate replays. I think diving is getting more and more nasty and rewarding every season, so that's worth trying to crack down on regardless.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) Complete antithesis to the Brighton ref who absolutely loved a sliding challenge regardless of whether or not the ball was won or the player snapped. Every time Arsenal fell over it was a foul. Edited November 2 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Tonali getting his yellow after some of what had gone before was ridiculous, the ball was there to be won and he tried to do so. Wasn't a particularly dangerous looking break or a deliberate foul, was a horrendous yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Not as shit as the Brighton (h) or Chelsea (a) ref today, but not great either. Very lenient with Arsenal, Partey in particular was warned about three times and never got the card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Joelinton gave away 4-5 fouls I think and some were pretty blatant and no attempt to play the ball. Got away with a yellow and a ban. So I’ll let the Tonali one slide.

It’s a contact sport ffs. I dunno like. If you want to go back 20 odd years then you might have a point. But they were blatant and always going to get called. Pulled back Saka when he could have started a break and bodied Saliba I think we are also ignoring Bruno. Who won at least 2 fouls today that were never a foul in a million years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 arsenal players falling over at the slightest contact and ref kept giving them a free kick, especially first half. infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Thought the ref was terrible but the positive was that Arsenal didn't take advantage of it and then he felt like he had to start to give us loads of decisions late-on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they focused too much on this and not enough on playing their game. Same reason they took ages over every set piece, which only wasted their own time.

mattypnufc Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Absolutely abysmal today that mind. Fart near an Arsenal player. Free kick instantly. Barring two times where Bruno bought a FK our players had to be pole axed to be given anything. Continually allowing them to take forever for dead ball situations, yet has the audacity to peep his whistle and tell us to hurry up can get fucked too. How many times that rapist fouled someone, to be told explicitly from the ref that he was counting and still not get a yellow is a disgrace. Not to mention whinging at them to retake throw ins from the right place and then subsequently they take them for the exact same place as they did prior the whinge I I do not know. and don’t get me started when we were breaking on the counter at around 74mins or so, for him to bring the play back and not even book their player. Maddening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEToon Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 So much of it was just wrong but the Sandro yellow was absurd. He had barely even been on the pitch, there was no context to his yellow v his multiple points at fouls Partey had made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
