#ARSNEW – 74’
The referee’s call of yellow card to Pope was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed that he did not deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO) due to the close proximity of a Newcastle defender, who had the possibility to claim possession of the ball.
Gravenberch fouls him, stops free kick being taken THEN kicks ball away and not one single yellow, not even spoken too. If that was Rice he would’ve got two yellows and a red! @GunnerLoulou @janieg33 @amylou8188 @glenoglaza1
This happened just last week.
We were told, even though he was already on a yellow here, kicking the ball away wasn’t a bookable offence because he wasn’t delaying a restart.
🙃
I will add that I don’t believe there to be any sort of conspiracy against Arsenal or anything of the sort. I do think the head of PGMOL is making an enormous balls up of his job and the mindset of too much of the pundit class is ‘fans are idiots, how can we be contrarian and piss on their backs and tell them it’s raining?’
Every single pundit on sky backing the Trossard sending off...not one mentioning other incidents. Almost like they've got people in their ear. Never do they go against the PGMOL
That is absolutely disgraceful. The Premier League is corrupt. If you don’t think decisions are being made in Man City’s favour then you’re not worth taking seriously

Do it all the time or don’t bother (preferably the latter). Having this as a hinge rule that changes games is going to create frustration when it is not applied in EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE
Am just so fucking livid at how badly Webb is fucking this up. Nobody, nobody honestly thinks games should be totally turned on their heads for this. Some client journalists will pretend they do because they find Arsenal fans on the internet annoying (which is a fair cop) but nobody speaking honestly thinks games should be ruined for this other than Howard Webb, who is a complete disaster in his role.
Howard Webb is totally incompetent. Games being totally changed due to fussy shit that only he really cares about but violent conduct consistently not punished, not reviewed. He is so obsessed with centring referees and making them the game changers and he just doesn’t care about players themselves or player safety. So fed up with it.
@arseblog@gunnerblog This summer saw a lot of comparisons between Declan Rice and Rodri, and the consensus continues to be that Rodri is the best CDM in the premier league. What does Rice need to improve upon this summer to prove that he is on the same level or even better than Rodri?
