I think the Fulham disallowed goal might be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.

Fulham were robbed - twice.

The reaction to it is massively over the top imo.

I don't actually think it's that harsh tbh, he's gone for the Maradona turn but on the second part of it he's not in control of the ball... A Maradona turn involves a touch with one foot after the other and he isn't making that second touch regardless of what else happens.

So to me he's took a touch,.lost control of the ball and stood on someone's foot. It's a foul.

It's unlucky but if you're not in control of the ball and stand on someone's foot it's a foul.

Caicedo steps on Iwobi's foot in the build up to the Chelsea penalty in exactly the same game and nothing is given. It's one rule for one, one rule for another.

For all their dominance and possession in the first half and when the went forward 2nd half they never looked like scoring and wouldn't have it wasn't for that pathetic penalty decision.
It could be a long season for them

Calvert Lewin will chip in with his 3 for the season.

That's the real problem isn't it, a huge lack of consistency. You get a ref giving one and not the other in the same match.

Quadruple header. My wife is going to love me today...

Looking forward to Martin getting sacked here. He annoys the fuck out of me. Absolutely embarrassing the way his teams play football.

Ain’t gunna happen but if the Arse win by 2 clear goals we go above the shite.

it's a contact sport, that's not a foul, he's trod on his foot after moving the ball on it hasn't made any difference to what followed.
Nobody reacted or appealed as it was happening, but them var clowns just can't help themselves getting involved and re-reffing the games.
I'm with mig, that's one of the worst i've ever seen
Rightly so he's been stood down from whatever game he was supposed to do today after his bosses admitted he'd make an error.
What i don't understand is why the on field ref hasn't been reprimanded as well after all he went to pitch side screen and in the end he made the decision, he could have seen sense and said no nothing there and given the goal, but no had to back his idiot mate up

The ref’s wording got me - the Fulham player made an unfair challenge - the Fulham player didn’t make a challenge - that was Chalobah

Exactly

Eze on the bench today. Expecting another boring Arsenal game where they start out playing for the draw. Maybe it gets better second half when Eze and maybe Dowman come on.
