Prob got paid 40k midweek to ref in the middle east somewhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't know why the PGMOL would allow refa to do games in the middle east knowing it could lead to the perception of bias or corruption.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because they’re not fans.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, that's OK then, nothing suspicious there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, sportswashing works.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, clearly not. If it did fans wouldn’t be questioning things like that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sportswashed fans aren't. In fact, they're defending it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ive seen them state a fact, not seen many give an opinion on whether PGMOL should be refereeing games elsewhere.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
See.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think we’re even arguing?!

Rodri should’ve been booked for diving after 5 seconds? Pep sent off for violent conduct for kicking his seat? These moments are deemed so trivial that it doesn’t count, let’s get on with the game… All hell breaks loose when there is a new loophole delaying restart rule law and a chance to punish Arsenal no matter how insignificant. Arteta would be retrospectively punished for kicking his seat like that if not sent off there and then.

Haaland is a caaaant as well. How he avoided a yellow all game and then that pathetic, childish act at the end. Hopefully karma comes for him as quickly as it did for Rodri, the playacting cheat. Funny how he feigned injury to get an opponent sent off then picked up a real injury Life can be beautiful sometimes!!

Yeah, loved this too. The irony.

Hey, at least he won’t have to go on strike now.

Celebrating a player getting injured and hoping another player gets injured.

Classy.

Guardiola injured himself kicking his chair and had to sit down for the rest of the game, Rodri injured himself too. It’s all unraveling now

💯

Pay close attention to the way most commentators/pundits talk about us as well.

Every little thing we do is scrutinised, over-critiqued, over-criticised and generally we're made out to look like the bad guys with suggestive language and comments to the nth degree. I heard it again today with Neville and whoever the main nonce was on comms, forget his name.

Mentioning the fact that we had a day less rest and played away midweek does not disguise your lack of impartiality in talking about us for the rest of the game.

Same with VAR, they'll analyse every little thing we do to try and rule a goal out for us but usually wave things away very quickly that could possible be given in our favour.

Although I have to say I think VAR were ok today and by the laws of the game couldn't get involved in the Trossard situation.

*possibly

Trossard's first yellow was a joke as well
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah his first yellow was justified, he was pulling shirt and holding the player
