Cannot believe Havertz hasn't been sent off here.

He’s make the bad tackle, 3 Newcastle players end up getting booked

Gumarias should have had a red there too.

Off the ground, no control, late. 20 years ago, maybe but not that should be a red.

Arsenal are fighting fire with fire. Newcastle remind me of prime shithousing Athletico Madrid

Did Longstaff have to go off for thirty seconds I couldn’t see? It would be madness get fouled the bloke gets booked but you go down to ten.

The angle doesn't help, his trailing leg catches him not the leading one, he was going for a block not a tackle I think. In reality he barely touched him.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Not sure if the ball went out of play so keep checking to find something that may get us out of it.

VAR is surely coming to an end in its current state

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I thought he was offside 2 players between you and the goal.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Glad that goal stod I hate arsenal, I hate arteta.
Always cheating and complaining.

Ball went backwards towards gordon so don't really matter how many players are behind or in front of the ball.

You can be offside if the ball goes backwards as per the spurs sporting game last season

Antony subbed again, one of the biggest Premier League flops in the last few years. What was he, £85m?

Arteta is not happy surprise surprise, he really is a bad loser.

The whole club are like this, fans, players and manager. Hate the club.

But he's unable to explain why the goal should have been disallowed... Just "reasons"

i can, it was out, it was a foul and it was offside

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I haven’t seen anything that showed it was fully out(there maybe images now but I haven’t looked) the foul would have been soft.

 

[Tommo1993]

Willing to overlook weird scenarios and questionable decisions as it’s Arsenal.

There is zero conclusive evidence for any of them so the on field decision has to stand. Simple.

The foul was blatant to be fair, two straight arms in the back.


In other news lol Emi Martinez.

 

[Evo1883]

definitely looked a Foul

why is my writing dark black

because you hit the bold text button.

If we use the pen that we gave away yesterday as a barometer then what Joelinton did can be considered a viscous and brutal assault and can consider himself lucky to not be behind bars.

I wouldn't say blatant, one of them that are sometimes given, sometimes aren't. Gabriel is already leaning forward & is under the ball, tries to buy a cheap one. Point is, it's subjective so can't be disallowed on that basis.

cheers mate , what a liability

I get what you mean, it probably falls under the auspices of "not clear and obvious" although I do think it was.

Maybe they were deploying a different application of the laws. There was a elbow in the head at some point that looked a bit iffy too. I don't recall fully due to cider!

I thought Man Utd's goal that was disallowed was a poor decision by whoever was doing the VAR & referee. Maguire may have tried to touch the ball but he didn't and his action didn't affect anyone else so goal should have stood for me. VAR is only there for clear and obvious errors allegedly. It took over 3 minutes for the refereeing team to come up with a decision. Before we know it VAR will be used by these clowns to decide if a player's hair was offside and whether it should be a corner or goal kick.

Isn't the motion towards the ball itself enough to be counted as interfering though? Genuinely don't know with offside any more!

Why not? Consistency is the most important thing, after all.

 

[Fysnkysc]

Prem football pisses me off , all they do is try get others sent off constantly.

 

[ovduk78]

With the Newcastle goal VAR should surely have only been used to check there was no handball or offside before it was put in the net. It's not there to check if the ball went out of play or if there was a foul as that is up to the referee and linesman.
