Smash into the keeper when he's already got the ball? No big deal. Foul a player from behind to stop a counter? Not a problem. But you better not stand over a corner for too long. That's what is really ruining the game! - ThreadSky

The one i don't understand is the brighton player running in front of and blocking Raya from playing the ball after he caught a cross coming into the box. It was called a foul but shouldn't that kind of behavior warrant a yellow?

flowers4agamemnon.bsky.social•147 days ago

And if he was gonna book anyone book Gabriel, ref thought he was a big man showing a yellow to a literal child

Arsenal and their dark arts. Feigning injury, time wasting and a cry baby manager.

I’m an Arsenal fan and Rice should be on a yellow. Studs to the Achilles and it wasn’t even a foul. PGMOL are incompetent

realdantepop.bsky.social•147 days ago

No need for a yellow compared to how he’s called the rest of the game but a definite foul.

theshortfuse.bsky.social•147 days ago

Yeah, he definitely missed a foul committed by Declan Rice there.

But that's bog-standard for the Premier League. The referees miss about a dozen fouls a game.

Only a matter of time before we get another serious injury because of what they let go on us.

We are reffed so differently

Well this is quite embarrassing for you really, lad.

He could have killed someone!

Still paying the tax for daring to take on the PGMOL unfortunately

Assault is fine. Tardiness is a crime!!! 👮‍♂️ lol

@orbinho.bsky.social are there any stats by team on the number of first half bookings given for time wasting?

skybornepegasus.bsky.social•147 days ago

Unbelievable!

weststandupper.bsky.social•147 days ago

You’ve been time wasting since you scored. Feigning injury, taking an age to get the ball back in play. And Taylor has given you every 50/50.

Taylor, the big 6 favourite referee.

glenniron.bsky.social•147 days ago

They were time wasting from the 15th minute against us. It's ghastly. If they hadn't wasted that time, they could have scored 10! So frustrating to watch such a cynical team who, simply, just don't need to be.

afcfalcon.bsky.social•147 days ago

Sour grapes and bad eyesight apparently...Taylor has given us pretty much fuck all, apart from the clear foul on Raya and 2 in the middle of the park, he's allowed Brighton players to push, pull, block-off and foul players in the box and sandwich a child without getting the ball

samueljkelly.bsky.social•146 days ago

Let's not forget let Brighton get away with the exact same things we get pulled up for

afcfalcon.bsky.social•146 days ago

And the trip in the box right at the start that was glossed over in commentary, the 2 fouls on Gabriel in the box and Taylor making up a rule that Gabriel isn't free to move around the pitch... fucking sociopath!
