Howard Webb is not fucking about, Lewis Holtby must have knocked some smarts into him
It's all a conspiracy to win the league for Manchester City - the club that the Premier League love unquestionably.And here Sky have kindly run an article to show how Arsenal have been victimised on four occasions by VAR, I didn’t realised bad officiating only happened against Arsenal….
Arsenal victims of another VAR error against Brentford - how many points has it cost them this season?
Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford but Ivan Toneys equaliser should not have stood; VAR error by team led by Lee Mason at Stockley Park was not the first which has hampered the Gunners Premier League title charge this seasonwww.skysports.com
It's a shame they don't deduct a few points from them for Arteta's whining. Actually, they should deduct a lot of points.If Arsenal lose the league by 1 point we should put a statue up of him.
Proper legend.
This isn't Storey saying Mason doesn't deserve to be let go, and it's a good thing that Webb appears to be taking a harder line against mistakes than that useless epitomisation of the old boy's club Riley did, but people who think there are loads of brilliant refs waiting in the wings will be sorely disappointed.
There's a very good reason why refs are struggling. There aren't enough of them around to create an environment where they get the best out of each other because we've reached a point where refs need body cams just to ref Sunday league games in case they get assaulted. When so many understandably can't be bothered with that abuse, the foundation isn't there for the cream to rise to the top.
I think the officials in the Prem could help to set an example though. They should start dishing out cards when players (and managers) are rude and disrespectful for starters. If they sent off a few players early in it would set the tone.
Im convinced that lower level officials gets abused by players and their families because it’s what they see on TV.
Sky and BT could also help by stopping going over every single mistake in minute detail with 6 different angles and slow motion. This quest for perfection is a nonsense and not possible. We should accept that they will make mistakes and just get on with it.
