Administrator Stan Posted July 5, 2020 Administrator Posted July 5, 2020 Kick-off 18.00 Live on BT Sport VS Head to Head West Ham - 37 Draws - 18 Burnley - 34 Reverse Fixture Burnley 3-0 West Ham
Administrator Stan Posted July 8, 2020 Author Administrator Posted July 8, 2020 How this wasn't given as a red is beyond me. Worse than Nketiah's last night as it seems more malicious, this one. No need for Tarkowski to go in like that with the ball barely bouncing off the ground. Surprised it wasn't overturned.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Hilarious and goes to show the state of the officials. How the fuck was that not a red if Nketiah's was? Honestly you could make a serious case there is agenda against Arsenal, especially with that cunt Riley in charge at the top.

Sometimes silly mistakes happen and people cant understand how but it happens all the time in life.

If Nketiah's was a red (and I think it was)... that's a pretty blatant red. I could accept the inconsistencies in refereeing pre-VAR, but I think it's harder to stomach now.

Think incidents like above go beyond just a 'silly mistake' Why did VAR not correct it if it was that? It's very simplistic to say that 'it just happens all the time in life'. That's all well and good but not when there are things in place in a game to prevent those mistakes from happening. Even if it is a silly mistake how many times does it have to happen before something is done about it

You guys make out like they are some numpty they found at the pub. There mistakes happen all over the world. I cant explain how they happen but there will he good reasons. I'm pretty certain if I was to look at you you would make mistakes in your job and I wouldn't understand how you could. It happens all the time in everything

It happens all the time in everything Yeah that's fine but I don't have VAR behind me. Every profession is different anyway so it's a weak argument/comparison in my eyes. You say there will be good reasons but sadly we rarely hear of them from PGMOL. I know you love to defend referees but that doesn't mean they are without criticism. Passing it off as 'silly mistake' downplays it and does not make them exempt from being discussed by football fans. They should be held accountable for the amount of authority they have on the pitch. The fact you don't seem to want to improve the decision making and are just happy to pass it off as a 'silly mistake' is worrying.
