I assumed he was dead, but that’s probably because to my mind he’s always looked ill

Also nobody is talking about that horrific cheat Doherty. The way he went down screaming, it was absolutely pathetic. He's not the only one, of course, but he shouldn't be allowed to slink away from his part in making it more difficult for refs. And when refs are this bad and the players know it, when they choose to add to the drama of every challenge they are seeking to gain an unfair advantage by cheating and they should be condemned for it. I also don't like professional players saying, I thought he was taking one for the team, good lad. No. If we're going to start praising any kind of foul play then why complain when the refs engage in it too? If they are just a bunch of cheats then there's nothing to see, is there?

Dermot Gallagher does his best job of trying to defend Oliver
But ultimately says it’s a yellow card offence
Which it is, it’s a cynical foul to stop a break….its a “take one for the team” foul and one MLS would have expected a yellow card for, and not an early bath
The yellow for Gomes' later challenge, why haven't they also addressed that? The player barely had an ankle by the time Gomes had finished with him. What's the bad for a second yellow these days? Will that persistently fouling bastard be back on a pitch before MLS? And you can even mention the outrageous inconsistency with the Rice red - again. Why is Gomes not given a second yellow for that? These are all fair questions to ask a so-called professional body that pompously explain the rules to fans who have been watching the game for decades.
PGMOL could even be said to be throwing their own guy under the bus in one way. They keep shifting the focus back to Oliver and away from that utterly incompetent bunch in the VAR studio. They've made an even bigger error than the ref. The ref views it all in real time and can make a mistake. In this case one of the most obvious mistakes you'll ever see. VAR is supposed to be there to correct this, that's the whole point of it. It's not there to support their mate come what may. There should be a lot more heat on these blokes in the booth, more questions being asked about them, more focus on them. Why haven't they done the job they are paid to do? And who is going to hold them accountable?

Ironically Wolves tabled a vote last season to get rid of VAR - I think they were the only ones to vote for it
Even if it's not getting rid of it, all the PL clubs need to push for some kind of change, at the moment it's a joke - a completely unfunny joke which is mainly on us, unfortunately
Another round of cock-sucking on Sky. I think Redknapp wants to have Oliver's baby. Give it a rest you twats, or else find out what it was like on an 80s terrace before you go on about how awful the fans are. It's the fans' fault for that shitty decision, the fans' fault that a handful of people make threats online, poor old refs, unless we sit on our hands and let them cheat then we won't have any refs. Go on the Carragher - show us some evidence to back that claim up? If we had refs in the 80s then there's nothing that could happen in the soppy seats that would put these prima-donnas off.
Absolutely pathetic, Sky. Let's see you all say it's a red five times a game over the rest of the season. There won't be a peep.

Interesting, didn't know about that. Good for Wolves. But has the club mentioned anything about the awful decision on Saturday? I'm assuming if they hated what VAR was doing to them back then they still feel the same way when it goes for them? I hope so anyway.
VAR has been twisted into a tool that is now used to authorise every stupid, incompetent decision made by refs who can no longer be questioned and are rapidly becoming infallible (in the imaginary world of PGMOL at least). Wouldn't mind that myself in my job, just fuck up all the time and have a gang come in and coo, Good JOB!

Count on the fingers of one hand how many mistakes he's made. Boy is his hand deformed. Prick.
He's right about the online abuse, but Oliver is either an incompetent or downright corrupt. Either way he should be sacked.
Jamie Redknapp is a lazy eyed cunt like his Dad
I don’t know what’s at play here, his Spurs bias or his Liverpool bias. As for Liverpool fans, more front than Brighton. I don’t remember us calling for a game to be replayed because of poor refereeing, apart from anything else at least the officials acknowledged they made a mistake rather than double down using mealy mouthed minutiae (sorry for the alliteration). Yet they have the nerve to claim we are just exhibiting a victim mentality.
Arsenal is the third biggest club in English football historically, we have a massive fan base home and abroad. Is it really wise to engender such ill will with the club and its fanbase. I don’t hide behind excuses, I don’t think we’ve looked remotely like title challengers this season….but I’m not going to accept how badly we are being treated here.
