Dont understand how the NLD was decided by a refs decision. VDV did handle the ball, but it would be impossible for the ref to see it as humans havent invented x-ray vision yet
--------------------------------
the linesman had a 100% clear, unobstructed view. Had VDV not already been on a yellow, I feel fairly sure the decision would have been correctly given.

With that and the pathetic sending off in the other game, the 2 biggest games of the weekend were ruined by poor refereeing... again.

It's beyond a joke now. you simply cannot have a multi-billion pound industry being so heavily effected by incompetence on a weekly basis. These decisions could well decide who gets relegated or into europe, meaning that they cost or gift a club millions, yet Wenger will no doubt now be charged because he dared to speak about it.... the whole situation is a joke.

Nice to see some very partial non-bias comment their ZZ

If you check the incident again the Linesman was slightly behind the ball and thus was a difficult decision. Plus for a yellow to be distributed for a hand ball it has to be intentional, and only VDV know if it was intentional or not as it genuinely looks like he tried to chest the ball.

It was a handball, but not poor refereeing

yet Wenger will no doubt now be charged because he dared to speak about it.... the whole situation is a joke.

Yes but you are probably a typical football fan too. Bad refereeing is only a problem when it affects your team. When other teams get bad decisions, or if one goes your way, most supporters, players and managers go in denial or even think some how that it's deserved... (Dalglish and Wenger been the finest exponents of this)....We are all part of the problem, not just refs.

as it happens, i was ranting and raving about the everton one on saturday.... it has little to do with it being my club, and everything to do with the fact that these refs are continually making errors that decide games.

Until this whole farce is sorted out, teams will continue to get relegated/not get relegated or make europe/not make europe on the backs of incorrect decisions giving/not giving them points. It could conceivably have an effect on whether a club goes bust or not, such is the level of finance at stake.

There are far more important things to be discussed than referees.

Arjen robben is offically the fifth best player on FIFA joint with Rooney on 90?
