Nottingham Forest (H) | Sat 23rd Sept | PL | Post Match Thread

There was loads of talk about it in the media, but they never actually appealed it.

We've just got to take it on the chin and move on.

If Arsenal play like they did today, we’ll win anyway.
They were gloating about Rodri yesterday so it was good to see them get a slap in the face this afternoon.
 
If a player can be booked for simulation then why cant a player be booked for the same when they exaggerate a push from an opposition player , if the ref had gone to the monitor he would have seen the delay and eventual comical collapse to the ground that Gibbs White performed with aplomb.
Not condoning Rodri's actions , the rules state if you raise your hands no matter how slight then you get sent off , but Gibbs- Whites's simulation deserved the same , at least Rodri's action was a moment of misplaced passion and aggression and he lost his head , Gibbs-White's action was simply cheating and cowardice.
 
No,and that lack of retrospective intervention,along with officials allowing it to continue on the pitch,is very much the reason the game is on its arse where theatrics and cheating are concerned.
Ive been banging the drum for a few seasons now......start clamping down on these cunts with immediate sendings off and 3 match bans,and the game will very quickly become far more honest and enjoyable.

Rodri was a dick yesterday,but MGW was a fucking disgrace.
My ERO has somehow got the VAR transcript from yesterday:

“Hang on Ant the lad’s dived and it’s more of a push than a throttling.”

“Hands have touched his neck though i saw it with my own eyes…. IM SPEAKING TO VAR NOW KYLE… yeah hands on neck is it?”

“Yeah you’re right Ant hands have touched his neck check complete.”
