Referees/Officials

[1.618034]

Diabolical and it's the same every week.

I'm done as I can't and won't justify spending so much time, energy and money on this bullshit.

No other sport has such consistently poor officiating.

Well, I say sport but let's face it, it's more Prime-Time TV Show these days.

Webb in the studio said the serg incident wasn't a pen tho. Video refereeing isn't a panacea

Webb never knew his arse from his elbow. The sojourns he made to The Swamp were more than testament to that! There is no panacea for having a game called correctly from start to finish, but by all that is holy we have seen this season that there is a hell of a way to improve it! God knows how many goals we've been diddled out of and how many decisions have screwed us.

Another clown added to the list.

it matters as it's his ilk, or the current shower, who will be making the decisions!

Very true, and what's worse is that it won't resolve average incompetence, like the foul on Yaya in the build up two the second although i'll give him the debatable (blue tinted) could that Company gave away

Webb, however, did concede ground following all of the pundits questioning his sanity in saying it wasn't a foul; it blatantly was

Or with some footballers who had some bottle. That is as poor an Arsenal team as I can remember and, playing the ball quickly, we take the officials out of the game and win it easily. These fucking players get a free pass every week, based on some poor officiating. I'm not defending some of the decisions out there but: Nacho-free header, Ota-free header, Fern-free header, Sterling playing the invisible man, Sane making poor decisions all game, Clichy back to his usual form, Navas turning round and round and producing nothing. Kompany giving soft fouls away then dropping back and playing everyone onside for their winner.
Finally, Guardiola is taking us nowhere fast. Apart from Sane, that was almost exactly the side Pellegrini would have picked. Not only that, but if Pellers had still been here, that result would have had nothing to do with the officials, he'd have just been a senile, old ****.

This is the best post I've read so far. That is a Pellegrini team out there with a Pellegrini performance. IF not for Yaya pulling us out of the mud for the entire second half and ET, it would have been a lot worse. Yes the ref was poor, but we put in the same turgid performance that has become all to familiar. Our fullbacks were painfully out of depth AGAIN and it showed from minute 1.

mistakes by the officials did cost us today.....there will be some that say its deliberate others that say its just human error......

the aguero one was a penalty but similarly so is the navas one. The disallowed goal is just poor from the linesman who got it wrong......

Bad decisions but deliberate I don't know...it would have to be one huge bloody conspiracy if that is the case (and before anyone says, i understand the reasons why there could be a conspiracy and agree with them).....Im just not sure if its deliberate or not

The thing is, these "human errors" seem to be happening every week, and only seem to go(in the majority) against us. We've probably had more dodgy decisions, in one season, than most teams would get over the course of a few. This season has been, on another level, something is definitely amiss, of this I have no doubts whatsoever.

Foreign referees please.

hmmm...maybe but again it would have to be a huge conspiracy.

the penalty today was one but he dint give the one against navas either.

the disallowed goal....well its bad decision by the lino not the ref but he does put his flag up straight away which says to me even though he was wrong he was doing it honestly ......it was a gut reaction and he does it before the ball is put in by aguero (and then sterling).....wrong decision but I'm not sure is blatant cheating
