No idea what either of you are watching. Bizarre thought process! 6 studs planted in Kev’s ankle!

I noticed that, too.
Not sure I have ever seen a referee do that before.
He *may* have been rushing over in case they tried to get the ball off Ederson and it started kicking off. It's the only reason I can think of that isn't a bit dodgy as fuck.

Too early in the game to give City a stonewall pen and too late in the game to send Partey off, that should be our end of season VHS/DVD titleBt woman commentator said about the partey rugby tackle at the end that Oliver was right and it would be rediculous to send him off at this late stage. Load of bollocks

I honestly think Oliver got that call right. Kev actually kicked Partey. I think a few on here need to remove their blinkers. The only thing he got seriously wrong was not giving Partey a 2nd yellow.It’s a clear penalty because Partey doesn’t have his foot in front of the ball trying to play it, he has it out to block Kev and this trips him.
It’s as nailed in a penalty as you will ever see but it set the night up for Oliver who was as bent as a 9 Bob note all evening, aided and abetted by his mate in VAR and all under instruction from the PL who are desperate.
Been on a few Arsenal forums and they are all saying he favoured City
It's not a penalty as Partey is within playing distance of the ball and is therefore able to use his body or legs as a shield. 'Playing Distance' is normally considered to be a distance that if the blocker was to attempt to play the ball, he could do so with just a single movement of either leg!It’s a clear penalty because Partey doesn’t have his foot in front of the ball trying to play it, he has it out to block Kev and this trips him.

Remember it is KDB who has impacted on Partey, who managed to get his shield within playing distance of the ball, he is perfectly validated in making that shield.
If Partey had been beyond playing distance of the ball, then it is a foul. Just to validate my interpretation, I was until a few years ago a referee.
The same thought process is used for the shoulder charge. If the charger impacts his opponent before he is within a stride 'playing distance' of the ball, then it is a shove. If he is, then it is a fair charge.

His foot goes across to block Kev and at no point is he attempting to play the ball. It’s a free kick elsewhere on the pitch so a penalty and it’s nothing to do with blinkers mate.
I respect your opinions on these matters but not this time I’m afraid

Not had chance to watch the game back yet but, I'm prepared to think we were screaming for everything at the game with emotions flowing....however, I saw enough to know his management of yellows for Arsenal was disgraceful.According to the Arsenal forum, Oliver was biased all night in favour of Arsenal!
