Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[blue by birth]

because we cant control what the refs do....neither can players/managers or clubs....

So its pointless fucking whinging about it

there you go...short enough for you?

Well if it's pointless..why do you comment on it??

You do realise that the VAR is a human and not some sort of robot.

It was a robot last week with Newcastle's off side goal !!!

no

now i can accept that they are substandard..thats fair enough. Incompetent even...

but those that complain that the refs are deliberately cheating us on a regular basis are losing a grip on reality

Compare similar incidents. There were plenty to choose from yesterday. Why were we not getting the frees for similar incidents. I think two of ours got booked yesterday for pointing out that the whistling wanker had given a foul for Leeds but had ignored a similar one a few moments ago. Refs are trained, programmed to react. When they choose not to react for a clear foul it's either incomptence or the other. I'm inclined to think that they know the rules back to front and inside out so incompetence doesn't seem to be an option. I think it's applying the laws to a different threshold, and if that is the case it's cheating. Not applying the LotG impartially is cheating. I swa examples of it yesterday.

Gvardiol was played onside by three defenders from the pictures I have seen it wasn’t even close. Can only imagine they were looking at Silvia’s actions on their keeper.

The screen at the match yesterday advised VAR checking for possible offside IIRC.

Gvardiol was never offside, and for VAR to say they were looking for an offside it must have been some one else, but from the point when the corner was taken there were half the Leeds team coming and going from the goal line. I texted my ERO to celebrate the goal and then said VAR was in. I then texted that they were on a two minute forensic scrutiny. They are looking for any reason to chalk off the goal, I said. They could have deliberated on the offside, which they initially tabled, inside twenty seconds with one fuckin' look! I can't recall but have we had any oppo goal this season getting such scrutiny?

Arsenal use a phalanx of 6 foot 6 monsters to rough up the opposition goalkeeper. We use Bernie :-)
