Spare a thought for Arsenal fans who have to sit through another 90 minutes of their team knowing for absolute certainty that they are not capable of scoring a goal.
The ref, the VAR, PGMOL leadership all agreed that the MLS red card was the correct decision.
The whole footballing world said they were wrong.
Now an independent panel has agreed with the fans.
PGMOL leadership was not mature enough to own an egregious mistake and it burned resources on trying to gaslight the fans into believing the decision was right, then it tried to shift the narrative to a different story with pliant media surrogates.
The focus of Howard Webb should be on excellence of decision-making - he is lost in the job. His focus isn't there. We've seen enough.
Change is a non-negotiable now. Premier League must act. PGMOL is an underperforming supplier of services that is damaging its prestige reputation of the best league in the world.
Time for auditors, compliance officers, and a clear out of the deadwood. The new era should reward referees with better pay, performance bonues for making correct decisions, and the focus should be on finding refs that don't want to be the main character.
Time for a new era.
Mikel needs to take the touchline ban & fine,,,,, come out and call Michael Oliver a cheat & make it impossible for him to referee Arsenal games again.
It’s just too many times with this guy….
Saw a video of someone dipping pigs in blankets in baked Camembert. Given it a go and I can safely say it’s ruined both the pigs in blankets and Camembert.
