Other games (2024/25)

[Aiston]

Ref has been good mostly.

[nortoon]

Just me happy with everyone getting booked all the time? The amount of times people are just fouling eachother on purpose, kicking the ball away and stopping counters has become ridiculous. Give me some sending offs next.

It appears every foul is a yellow this weekend. Refs must be on a bonus.

Well not quite every foul. We have five bookings but the only ones they have are Timber and Saliba stopping the quick free kick.

[Fak]

Think the ref has been fine. Only Neville who is making a big deal out of his performance.

Just not a very good footballer

He does show flashes of skill/awareness but the end product is generally poor

The problem - as ever - is that it’s inconsistent. I believe we have the same amount of bookings in the first half today as Man City have all season. And they are the kings of the spoiler foul.

 

Edit: I take it back, City have 8 according to the PL site.

First time there hasn't been a goal in the first half in 6 and a half years?

 

Good job I didn't build my bet round a goal in each half. Oh wait.

[nortoon]

Might be Arteta-gate whinging have the refs deciding to make a stand though? Has to start somewhere. I'd be happy if Bruno doesnt have to get fouled 15 times per game.

[Pilko]

Redknapp saying red for the Timber foul I didn't even think it was a free kick.

Thought it was harsh. His foot slipped off the top of the ball. Didn't seem to be any intent.

 

I think he's unlucky because I think his intent is simply for the ball but the way he goes to tackle the ball it runs the risk of slipping off

 

I'm fine with it being a yellow, definitely not a red 

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Jamie Redknapp being an utter buffoon in the studio as usual, that bloke shouldn’t be asked any question other than "what’s your favourite flavour window?"

[gbandit]

He’s not a bright man. How he’s made a career after football is an indictment of the football landscape off the pitch in this country

Hard to believe that's someone that's actually played at this level.

 

Tragic really.

[alexf]

Yeah done nothing wrong there. Porro just play acting because he lost possession and normally those sort of actions lead to slipping off the ball and kicking the player. Shouldn't have been a yellow.

The problem is, I don't think you're ever going to have any real consistency when its humans making the decision, especially when its such a subjective and high speed sport, its always going to be tough to have the exact same opinion from game to game.

West Brom leading early doors (knock the mackems off top spot please)

[Joe1984]

Nonsense from Neville there. A foul worthy of a yellow should always be a yellow.

 

No higher threshold for a second yellow.

Might as well start the game off with a Joelinton yellow with how this weekend has gone

Could you imagine a scenario where it is WBA, and Sunderland coming up?

Ewwww.

[toon25]

The Arse defence are really good at the last ditch stuff for the most part. 

[toon25]

Golarse

[r0cafella]

Canny header that. 
 

Spurs look toothless mind. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Spurs poor at set pieces, Arsenal mint at them, seemed inevitable 

[Joe1984]

Game needed that.
