referees fucking us over

[Ollie the Optimist]

feck off can you blame the ref, nothing wrong with VDV's goal its not his fault our team was shite today and only a 1/4 looked like they wanted to play and the other 3/4 are shite.

only one man is to blame for today Wenger no one else

well yes there was something wrong with the goal, it was handball which imo is illegal in football and cheating. apart from that nothing wrong with it

[Fats]

Im not so sure it was a definate handball.

What I will say is that if one of our players had the same thing and got pulled for it, it would have been harsh. The attacker should always get the benifit of the doubt if its borderline.

[Boss]

The loss had nothing to do with the ref.

We can't do anything about refereeing decisions, but we can do something about the brainfarts we suffer when comfortable in possession.

But we don't.

And that is why you should be pissed off today.

It looked ok to me too. If you could criticise them for anything with the goal it was VDV not getting a 2nd yellow for going into the crowd when others have been booked for less. But the goal itself looked fine to me & after some of the shit this weekend, the referee had a decent enoguh match.

No idea what happened today as i didnt watch it but im more worried about the manager and board fucking us over than refs

[Niall_Quinn]

Mike Dean, of all refs, had a good game today. He made some key errors, which is normal for him, but he didn't buy any of the shit diving around from their cheating bastards and he wasn't hysterical with the cards. Perhaps we've reached the stage where we are so insignificant the refs are starting to give us a fair shake.

Looked a clear handball to me and yes, he should have been sent off for going into the crowd. We'd still have fucked it up against 10 men though, which would have been more embarrassing, so maybe better there was no card.
