Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

If you’re going to give a second yellow with the game in the balance, it has to be for something you’ve actually seen that demands it.

When there is no foul, and certainly not by Rico, you just can’t give it!

The stupid thing…if he’d have just given him a STRAIGHT RED CARD, it could have been reviewed by VAR and he wouldn’t have even got a yellow!
Part of me would have liked to have seen him produce a straight red, knowing full well he could have had a look at it. Then reverse the decision and book Chalobah for utter unsporting shithouse acting. The screaming, rolling and waving of arms is the only thing that made that look remotely worthy of even thinking about.

The VAR rules on 2nd yellows for challenges (not allowed to have a look) put the ref in a position he needn't have been in.
 
Hughes going down to stop City’s momentum with a head injury is the worse and most despicable form of cheating. He knew the ref would have to stop the game then made remarkable recovery without treatment Something else that needs to be clamped down on and it’s simple, if play is stop the player should have to go off for a concussion check
 
If Chalobah fouled Lewis, then VAR should have told the ref to review it in order to consider giving a penalty. But that would have been very embarrassing for PiGMOL, as cheating ref had already sent Lewis off, so it was never going to happen.

Needs calling out by the club, as the media will not even mention it. In fact, the club need to ask to hear what the VAR team said during the incident, as I'm sure it would make interesting listening!

Didn’t even think of that. Makes me even more annoyed.

It's a cunts trick that quite a few have exploited it and abused it totally.I When a player recovers like that, the offender should be carded.

Arteta has a lot to answer for with this sort of shit.

It is pure gamesmanship and cheating.
 
Yeah he got booked for talking to the ref.
Just seen Fernandes shouting at ref a cpl of times but no yellow..
But Lewis shouldn't have been booked for being fouled
Fernandes is the captain though.
