Ref Watch

I think Oliver is the best of a very bad crop of referees, but was not good today, nor was VAR (of course)

 

[Platt Lane 59]

What on earth are you suggesting? That the ref tried to screw us over because our attitude was wrong? That its our players fault the bent git didnt give us a nailed on penalty and reffed the whole game with only one intention in his mind?

Calm down.
Read my post carefully...

Oliver is the worst of a very bad crop of referees.

Partey not doing the walk of shame was on a par with the Milner one.

One half each shared with Attwell.

Have had dinner with the family and more time to discuss with the missus and think about the game as a whole and, with more perspective, I have come to the conclusion…

That is one of the single most blatantly corrupt officiating displays in one of our matches that I have seen in some time.

He only started to give us anything after we made it 2-0. And even then he let a lot go from
Arsenal players. I was convinced Kev or Jack were going to get injured with some of the tackles they were on the end of.

In the end he was letting them literally kick (Ruben, Jack, Kev), chokehold (Jack), and rugby tackle (Erling, Rodri) our players without a single fucking yellow. It was plain to everyone they were trying to snidely goad one of ours in to retaliation so they would be sent off and he did nothing to deter it.

The only yellow was fished out for a fronting up between Partey and Grealish. And then Oliver refused to send Partey off for rugby tackling Haaland to the ground.

It is absolutely scandalous.

But there want be any accountability. He’ll probably get a ‘good effort, there’s always next time’ bonus from PGMOL and the league.

It needs to be called out.

Anthony Taylor’s the best ref out there for me, trust him more than this coward.

 

[DenisHasDoneIt]

I don’t trust him. I get a dishonest vibe from him.

I wouldn’t say he was dishonest - just that if he were dishonest, he’d have given one yellow all to them all night, when Partey should’ve been off, White penalised for a penalty, getting Father Ruben booked et flipping cetera.

Who did that 3-2 at the Amex couple of seasons ago? He was worse, but not by much.

Never forget the Chelsea match. Up there in the most corrupt in over 50 years of attending matches. Alf Gray gets a place too.

He was absolute shite, as ever

 

[FantasyIreland]

Set his stall out early......gave us fuck all and allowed Arsenal to get away with their dirty little tricks.

He tries his best to deny us,but fortunately our football proved too much of a quality gap for his influence to get a strangle hold.

How some of their players left the field without caution is plain corrupt.

I dont want the **** anywhere near any of our future games,he is a fucking disgrace.

 

[super_city_si]

Abomination of a performance. Shows how good we are that we twatted them even with the ref in their pocket.

the free kick for partey on a clear penalty was chefs kiss.

 

[Decepticon]

'levelling up', he seemed determined to add some drama to the pl title race tonight. Wether that was driven by his bosses or his ego I don't know.

Driving by his bosses, I would bet my mortgage on it.

Devils advocate Haaland handball ? Red card for stamp on Arsenal player by Dias instead of yellow ?

'stamp'? hahahahha,fuck off

Handball? he could not have had them any closer to his body.

The man is a ****,his decisions were a disgrace and yet they were not enough.....fuck him and his clear attempt to influence.

This man will try and ruin a Cup Final,if/when he gets it.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

I was shocked to see the squeezing of Jack Grealish's throat, the ref was not interested. The lack of protection our players get is criminal.

There's being a devil's advocate and there's making stuff up!

 

[Gray]

Haaland was shoulder so definitely not a penalty whereas the foul on De Bruyne was a nailed on penalty what is the bloody use of VAR?

Dias though I agree, he got away with one there.

Oh I haven’t mate, not by a long shot, maybe I was a bit too subtle, but my point was, he’s the best out there because he’s less shit than the rest.

 

[blueinsa]

Evidence once again why the PL and PiGMOB can have nothing to do with each other at all if we are ever to see any semblance of fair and impartial officiating.

It’s a closed shop and right now, PiGMOB do the PL bidding for them.

Referees are being instructed through their ear pieces for 90 mins as to what to do and what(not) to give and it is a disgrace and they can use VAR to rubber stamp whatever it is they want.

 

[bada bing]

Did everyone see Oliver sprint to snatch the ball back off Ederson after the Arse goal. Fuck me, he was desperate for them to get something.
Hope he doesn't get the cup final, sure he was on VAR when Goofy scored the dodgy goal at the swamp this season.
