Premier Lg EPL Matchday 4 - On Optus Sport

[Magma]

looks like old mate gillett saw the 14 cards yesterday as a challenge

 

[hawkman]

Send him on a ship back to Australia

 

[And_ROOS]

Is And_ROOS still sooking about Declan Rice yellows? Lol

You'd be fun at parties

Was brought up in the thread by other people, and thank you for the compliment I am fun at parties

 

[dirty2]

Gonna break the record of cards in a match

 

[hawkman]

7 cards in a half in a NLD and Romero not one of them

 

[And_ROOS]

I think Mr Gillet has a quota to reach

Matches like this and the Chelsea game really make you question if there are bungs for betting on cards involving the officials.

This is completely out of control already.

 

[glenferry23]

Gillett. The worst a man can get.

 

[moomba]

The players aren't making it easy for him. Saw two getting outraged over a throw in/corner being given against them when they clearly got the last touch. And the theatrics for every foul make it a lot harder on refs than it should be.

That is nearly every game though

Szoboszlai kicked the ball away on a yellow to delay the restart too, and like I said when Rice got done on two yellows that it wouldn't take long for PGMOL inconsistency to rear its ugly head.

It was letter of the law for Rice, its not letter of the law this week and suddenly its about "the refs not making the game about themselves" when really its that Kavanagh has a long history now of making horrendous calls against Arsenal, and that Arsenal have to pressure the league to have him prevented from officiating Arsenal matches just as Liverpool did to stop having Darren England stop ruining their games.

It’s supposed to be letter of the law the keeper has six seconds to release it but it never gets called

 

[bok_party]

I think you've been paying too much attention to Arsenal conspiracy theorists.

It's irrelevant. Rice kicked the ball away with the sole purpose of delaying the restart.

It was soft, but it was a yellow card. Stupidity on his part.

I don’t necessarily have an issue with Rice getting a second. It’s the lack of consistency of the whole “letter of the law”.

Saliba fairly got one today. Robbo and TAA did the exact thing yesterday and got nothing.

I don’t think they should be yellows all the time but the inconsistent nature of it is a bit ridiculous.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I love when we can all talk about the game and not the referees. Swear the ref could not turn up and still be blamed for everything.

Between the refs during the Bournemouth/Chelsea match and Gillet today its hard not to talk about how shambolic they are.

Nah, people just have this weird view that refereeing is incredibly easy and that every referee is the exact same.

 

[hawkman]

That was a yellow

 

[And_ROOS]

That was a yellow

One of the 4 legitimate ones

 

[moomba]

Consistency is appalling in the league. You'll see an inconsistent decision 20 times a game.

It's why you just don't give the ref an opportunity to make a decision you don't like. Especially if you are already on a yellow.

Not blaming them. It’s not an easy job but you can have the referee board etc saying certain things and then not being consistent with it.

Consistency is nigh on impossible between different individuals.

 

[hawkman]

No idea why refs warn players on set pieces. Just give a foul or penalty if they infringe

 

[hawkman]

Johnson is a poor mans Aaron Lennon

 

[Magma]

oh spurs

 

[Bradesmaen]

Weak as piss from Romero.

 

[TY24]

Not sure leaving Gabriel unmarked was Romero’s best decision

 

[Magma]

god thats pathetic from romero. soft.
