@footballontnt What is a reason to have VAR, when they are not doing they sole job? Control obvious errors of the ref. Ridiculous and so often happens in Arsenal games…
🚨 Jamie Carragher on West Ham’s disallowed goal against Arsenal:
🗣️ “This is exactly why supporters get frustrated with PGMOL every single weekend. The inconsistency is impossible to ignore now. You watch Arsenal score goals from set-pieces almost every Matchday with blocks, little nudges, players standing their ground in the box, and we’re constantly told it’s ‘clever movement’ or ‘part of the modern game’.
“But the moment another team does something similar against Arsenal, suddenly the microscope comes out and officials decide it’s a foul. That’s the problem people have. Fans just want consistency. If it’s a foul, make it a foul every week. If it’s acceptable contact, then allow it for everyone.
“I looked at the West Ham goal and I honestly didn’t see enough there to disallow it. There’s contact in every single corner situation in football today. Defenders grapple, attackers grapple, players block runs all over the pitch. Arsenal themselves benefit from those situations constantly because they’re excellent at set-pieces.
“What annoys people is that the interpretation changes depending on the team, the atmosphere, or the pressure on the officials. PGMOL keep talking about transparency and improving standards, but supporters are still leaving games confused because the same incident gets judged differently every week.
“If West Ham score that against another side, I genuinely think the goal stands. That’s the uncomfortable conversation people don’t want to have. The consistency simply isn’t there, and until PGMOL sort that out, managers, players and fans will keep feeling robbed by decisions like this.”
🎙️ Gary Neville on the officiating inconsistency in the league:
“The moment that goal was disallowed, I immediately called someone I know inside PGMOL. I asked him: ‘So what exactly makes this a foul, but the one in United vs Arsenal earlier this season wasn’t?’ And honestly, the answer annoyed me even more. He told me:
‘This one is an obvious foul because the goalkeeper was deliberately impeded from reaching the ball.’
So immediately I asked:
‘Then why did the Arsenal goal against United stand?’ Because if we’re being serious, the situations are almost identical. In the United game, Altay Bayindir clearly tried to raise his arm to attack the ball and William Saliba literally grabs his arm and stops him from moving. How is that not interference? What kind of football is that?
And what frustrated me the most today was how long they spent reviewing the other goal with VAR. So suddenly now we have time to analyse goalkeeper contact carefully? Interesting.
Because when it happened to United, there wasn’t this same urgency. That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans can accept mistakes. What they cannot accept is inconsistency.”
@michalokonski@olaafw Panie Michale, to plemię jest tak wygłodniałe, że własną matkę by zagryzło gdyby powiedziała im niewygodną prawdę. Prawda jest taka kanonierzy- przez cały sezon zyskaliście takimi zagraniami kilkanaście punktów, a teraz hipokryzja przebija sufit.
@MarcinAFC@Steveo1412 akurat Keane powiedział, parafrazując: „decyzja słuszna, tylko pozostaje ten każdy niesłusznie uznany gol Arsenalu, gdy VAR nie widział fauli w takich samych sytuacjach.” Ogólnie wyśmiał Arsenał jako hipokrytów. Więc raczej daleko od „odmiennego zdania”
(I think it is a foul… but it’s not the type of offence given consistently… and it’s not clear to me why the Trossard and Rice involvements aren’t factored in if going slow mo and many replays….sooo disallow goal + Pen for Rice offence imo… fair and fun outcome!)
@michalokonski Niby tak, tylko, że Arsenał nie byłby tu gdzie jest gdyby wcześniejsze faule odgwizdano. Pewnie jakieś 3-5 miejsce. Uleganie wadze gola, a nie trzymanie się (absurdalnego co prawda) standardu który sędziowanie sami ustawili, jest naprawianiem błędu wypaczając wynik mistrzostwa.
@Polsport 90% goli Arsenału z rzutów rożnych tak wyglądało i jakoś ich nikt wtedy nie odwoływał? Ta sama sytuacja w drugą stronę i już inna interpretacja. Poziom sędziowania i komentatorów można tylko porównać do pamięci złotej rybki.
