Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[Gorton_Tubster]

I'll say it again, this pgmol policy of "letting play flow" even when they're are dangerous tackles flying in, is going to end up with someone getting seriously injured and taking them to court.

Not only that, some teams are playing that policy tactically. We must too.

 

[Don Karleone]

It worked though, no? No malicious or out of control challenges from either side. 22 men battling for a game of football and being allowed to do so.

No, it didn't.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

No, it didn't.

It did.

 

[kunaguer09320]

No complaints.

What game did you watch??

 

[Chak19]

He decided he wasn't booking Arsenal players. If we did that today, he wouldn't have been able to get his cards out quickly enough.

I don't think so, Bernie commited a blatant tactical foul in the second half that he always gets booked for but wasn't on this occasion, it's just that Arsenal commited far more fouls than us.

 

[Kippax77]

I thought he gave them everything in the first half and gave us far more in the second half.

Not the worst performance by any means, but Jesus should have been carded in the third minute.

If he reffed it honestly from the first whistle he wouldn't need to be trying to even it up in the 2nd half.
It almost descended into a farce at one stage

And you have your answer.

 

[Chak19]

And you have your answer.

If we commited more fouls than them would he have booked us ? can't tell.

 

[kunaguer09320]

Unfortunately, that’s irrelevant. It doesn’t make it far. Big ‘if’. We didn’t commit more fouls, fact. We had 70% of the ball so of course less fouls.
It’s not ‘evening it up’ it’s simply unfair

And the useless Dipper Darren England up next v Villa who has also been fantastic for Arsenal this season
