Already looking forward to Doku getting his first yellow for something massively egregious having avoided a booking for blatantly kicking the ball away earlier.

It was pretty soon after the foul so probably could have let that go…

Tempted to switch it off. I mean what is the point? Brilliant performance and the ref just takes it away, again.

Fuck me. So hard to stop yourself when you’re already going to do something. When the ref knows it’ll be a second yellow you’d think a bit of common sense would come into it.

Bit disappointed there isn't already a comprehensive 2 hour breakdown from an Arsenal channel of why it was a biased decision all other teams would get away with.
Just copy and paste the Rice one of course.

I mean it’s just so stupid. It’s like a split second. I honestly don’t get it. But whatever.

But why is it we have games where the ref wants to have players get away with fouls before giving yellows etc and then they give this sort of thing?

Genuinely cannot believe anyone in their right mind thinks Trossard should be off there.
Ref’s just ruining games for no reason. It’s not a conspiracy they’re just fastidious jobs worths that are desperate to be center of attention.

I don't think anyone genuinely thinks that matches should be decided by these innocuous moments do they? I originally thought it was the foul, it didn't even occur to me that it was for kicking the ball away as it was so soon after the whistle went. He was just playing on.

I think you have to take into account the time between the foul and when it was kicked away. I don’t think you can say for sure he’s deliberately kicked that away rather than just clearing it so you could probably just give the benefit of the doubt there.

It’s also over a minute what was intended to be played. Even if it was a foul then it’s the end of half time lol

It’s not a conspiracy they’re just fastidious jobs worths that are desperate to be center of attention. It’s not the refs fault though. It’s a rule that’s been brought in. He is doing his job. It a semi stupid rule, one that should be judged more on intent but it’s a rule.

Allusions to a conspiracy are clearly stupid, but I do think refs develop a picture in their mind about how certain teams and players behave, which frequently results in differing outcomes for basically the same situations.

If you're going to occasionally let some slide, maybe let the ones that would result in a sending off slide no?

That is only applied when it suits the bellends.

That’s a dumb challenge by Trossard. There’s seconds of the half remaining and it’s in the middle of the pitch.

"The ref has to want to send him off"
as true today as when Arteta first said it

Ohhh thought the sending off was for the fact he absolutely destroyed Bernardo, which seemed fair enough. Crazy for a clearance.

The ref has the ability to apply some common sense, per the rule book. If the direction is from up high to punish even minor and accidental infringements to the exclusion of all other considerations then the problem is with them.
Either way, the ref’s are ruining games.

If Arsenal don’t get anything from this I wonder how many times Arteta will say disgrace post match 🤔

It would have been so easy to give him the benefit of the doubt there. Just had a word and say next time you won’t be so lucky. Like you say, just a bit of common sense.
