The Premier League Match Centre has said, 'The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play.'

Was the Arsenal youngster right to be sent off?

You’re journalists. Maybe look into Oliver a little bit. He has made some ludicrous decisions.

Buzz off athletic

If Oliver and his main character syndrome want to continue to interpret the laws in a manner of an egomaniac, that's his prerogative I guess. However, any sensible official would have used common sense and just booked him like in 99% of similar incidents that have gone beforehand!

Listening on BBC5 - Ian Dennis and co are livid - aghast, bizarre, never before, astounded, wrong - are just some of the words used. Arsenal are never winning the league until PGMOL are broken up and rebuilt.

davmk.bsky.social•33 days ago

Poor Arsenal. Yes he deserved to be sent off. At least one more should have been sent off for surrounding the referee as well.

Michael Oliver is ruining football

erskinejames.bsky.social•33 days ago

No. Absolutely not.

krostiman.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ah corruption and incompetence at all levels of PGMOL then. All that is missing is a video of Oliver coked up stating why he influences matches. That would never happen with an organisation like PGMOL. oh wait such things do happen in the organisation

dm-straightvibin.bsky.social•33 days ago

Stop this. Call out corruption. At a bare minimum call out idiocy

sambskyversion.bsky.social•33 days ago

In no world.

ddddane.bsky.social•33 days ago

Obviously a horrendous decision. This challenge happens 3 times every match.

geneparmesan85.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why are you even asking? For engagement? Just grow some balls and a spine and say it was a ridiculous decision.

moridin666.bsky.social•33 days ago

lol what? he sticks his studs through his fucking leg. ridiculous? are you an idiot?

geneparmesan85.bsky.social•33 days ago

Think you and Oliver are the only ones mate. Do you actually watch football?

moridin666.bsky.social•33 days ago

i do and i didn't see the video, but based on the picture it's pretty clear that he's going with his studs through the defender's tibia, which can easily result in a broken leg. not sure how that's a ridiculous decision. show me a video and maybe i'll change my mind.

droneybennett.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s not clear from the picture at all because his foot is moving up and not down. It’s a trip and not a stamp. And then after the initial clip on the shin there is the slightest contact between his studs and the top of the foot.

moridin666.bsky.social•33 days ago

gotcha. yea, that's a different story then

geneparmesan85.bsky.social•33 days ago

Don’t engage with people calling me an idiot btw. I’ll just call you a cunt and leave it at that. Cheers.

moridin666.bsky.social•33 days ago

right back at ya, cunty mccunterson. great name choice though, love arrested development. and love the word cunt. so win win.

you'll also note i didn't call you an idiot. i asked you if you were because apparently you don't understand that studs straight into legs is dangerous.

moridin666.bsky.social•33 days ago

and yes thank you for asking. i was busy watching der BVB try with their U19 coach to not lose after going down to 10 men at 21' for "denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity" for a gentle tap in the back by schlotterbeck. that was a ridiculous straight red.

When are you going to understand what is obvious? He's been fucking bought and paid for! Get rid of PGMOL and Hoe Web

boggsy3.bsky.social•33 days ago

No. Stop glaslighting us.

jrdonovan.bsky.social•33 days ago

Until VAR is able to step in there and provide the sensible answer of “yes looked high but after review just mild contact. Recommendation is a yellow card.” I can’t get behind it

mballrgrs.bsky.social•33 days ago

They looked at it and cleared it as a correct onfield decision

fairorchard.bsky.social•33 days ago

What is VAR for, if not to fix this?

jfleming90.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes, just for our entertainment though

clackclackclack.bsky.social•33 days ago

Do the refs even enjoy watching football? The standards for what is or isn’t a fouls a card or a straight red seems to be a ref by ref decision. The inconsistency of the PGMOL is driving all of the fans crazy

chadsommer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Arsenal should just walk off the pitch in protest. This is a joke.

ezaculating.bsky.social•33 days ago

Professional journalists completely incapable of calling out the standard of refereeing in this league. Investigate what is obviously at this point blatant corruption.

marktegethoff.com•33 days ago

It’s gaslighting.

astallashereyes.bsky.social•33 days ago

Of course not. You'll not see another red for this ever again. Never seen it before.
