As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Absolutely agree with you - this place is fast becoming a place where every single fcuking decision is blasted as corrupt and anti AFC and we are becoming as pathetic as the victims for whinging
The ONLY valid question we could have is how far out the guy was, but white wasnt getting there even if he had a motobike ffs, and our keeper was backpeddling at a rate of knots
It was a last man back and we need to man the fcuk up
Blimey we agree ffs !!!!
So are all of the pundits saying the decision is a shocker ??? Not on the channel I am watching . And I am sure EmmanuelPetit isn’t anti Arsenal .
Us agreeing is a first I agree - I have no doubt if that incident happened at the other end we would ALL be screaming for bournemouth red card and that is why this whinging reflects badly on us as a fanbase. The distance from goals makes it a 50/50 call imo, but neither white nor raya were getting there, and as much as the blame lies with trossard totally, I still dont think saliba needed to foul him.
That's fucking horseshit. I'd be embarrassed to call for a red that far out.
Even in the shitty dog and duck league I play in there’d be a few hysterics before a sensible ref would give a yellow and get on with it.
Move that scenario up the the 18 yard line and it’s a different story
I didnt say that we would be right to scream for a red card, just that we would be screaming for it anyway - the distance from the goals is the key issue no doubt
Webb putting his hand to his ear adjusting the ear piece while sending a message on his phone DURING a VAR review is an awful look for PGMOL.
That needs to be all fucking over the media for the next few days. Call his integrity into question and demand an explanation. It's fucking disgusting and about time that the bald cheating cûnt got what's coming to him. Fucking corrupt cûnt.
Alan Smith is such an insufferable Sky Sports cheerleader. Cretinous as a pundit.
Yep, legend as a player, complete company man twat as a pundit.
Wrote a whole bit in his autobiography about how he felt proud of himself for slagging us off after the Keown Manure stuff in 2004. Tows the corruption line to keep the money coming in.
Of course it’s a bloody red , the player was thro on goal and white wasn’t getting there !!!
Again it’s plain stupidity like rice and Trossard
Had it been down the other end you would have wanted red
Thoughts?
Should we then want consistency and not expect the red in our case (in which Saliba is further up the pitch and Bournemouth had a player on the wing) or do we set the standard of consistency from us? (Because THAT will totally happen).
