Ref Watch

[richardtheref]

what the actual fuck do they teach you at referee school

The laws of the game my friend. Love it when people who have never ever read the laws argue with you. If that was at the other end and the ref gave a penalty you would be one of the 1st to scream about it IMO

Can't as he has already reffed an FA Cup final

And yet you ues replays that show Kev kicks him. Partey is merely defending, the only time he did last night

Partey’s foot hits the back of Kev’s plant ankle before Kev kicks him.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Only because Kev's foot was in his space. He didn't mean to.

Yeah, he inadvertently lunged across Kev’s body (from almost an exact 90 degree angle) and accidentally took out his legs and body checked him unintentionally ice hockey style.

It was a freak gust of wind that did it!

I dont want to really keep explaining about Shielding and Playing Distance, but the interpretation last evening was based Oliver's intense dislike of Manchester City.

Fixed that for you.

One thing I 100% guarantee you - if Oliver had given that as a penalty VAR wouldn't have overruled it.

You know what, I'm pretty sure even the Arsenal players wouldn't have made any major complaints had it been given.

Let's have a poll?

Some of them immediately thought it had been when Oliver blew the whistle.

Several turned their faces to the sky and put up their hands to lament Partey giving it away, whilst one of them started toward Oliver presumably to join Partey in his remonstration, but stopped short when Oliver surprised everyone to point in the opposite direction for free kick to Arsenal.

I give up. I bow to your greater knowledge of the laws of the game & the interpretations. My dad always said to never argue with stupid as they are always right. As such I now totally agree with your view
