Premier League 2023/2024

[George94]

Have Arsenal actually had a significant injury all season? I think I get confused because I see their physio on the pitch a fair few times a game

 

[cwy21]

Remember when Doku kicked Macallister in the chest and Webb went on TV and supported no PK because he got the ball first?

 

[Cavehillspur]

The Liverpool incident.

Yep, we should have had 3 vs Sheffield United alone.

Is there any specific wording on what actually constitutes a foul? To play devils advocate you could argue the ball could have still been in Jesus’ control had Lamptey not brought him down. Whereas if he booted the ball away and then got Jesus on the follow through, he’s not impeding a player that could otherwise get on the ball.

I would say that potentially Jesus could have got it but it’s way more likely that Baleba would have got to the ball first therefore not a foul. If you make a challenge and get the ball then it’s not a foul.

What adds further insult is that this will get brushed under the carpet or have very minimal discussion

Now, flip it around and Brighton got the dodgy penalty and win.

There would be conspiracies on the PGMOL wanting Liverpool to win the league. Arteta would attack the ref and VAR (and get away with it) and TS would have days of creating topics like "Have Arsenal been cheated" with people like Keown buying into it

jurrien timber and partey are the two longer ones I can think of

A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

• ...
• trips or attempts to trip

Since this was a careless trip here is that defintion.

• Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed

As you can see the laws of football don't go into a lot of detail and it's more of "you know it when you see it" type game to officiate. Which explains where a lot of the issues probably come from.

Unless it's serious foul play like romero on enzo. (But this wasnt)

Every week Saka has a significant injury before magically recovering and playing every game.

Saka has a career ending injury just before every international break.

Being arrested isn't an injury

are you sure about that last sentence? Doesn't seem like that could be the case with the number of hypotheticals that would seem like fouls depute getting the ball first.

also if it’s plausible that two players could get the ball after a questionable challenge then the benefit of the doubt would go the player who was challenged I would think

View attachment 139274

lol is that why he’s been out? I actually thought he was injured

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Basically they're predisposed to give pens for the bigger clubs with star players. That's their default mode.

What about us then .we must be due a few

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Wolves disallowed equaliser earlier..

 

[Westmorlandspur]

It’s same ref as we had on Tuesday.Brighton game I mean

 

[mcbridemartin]

Seriously the officials cannot help Arsenal any more if they tried. Right at the end of the half the assistant gives offside against a Brighton forward in a good position. Flag up straight away, no comment from anyone, and then you look at it and wonder how the assistant does not see the Arsenal full back on the far side playing him onside.

The whole delayed flag thing is very subjective, sometimes they go quick when it is close, some times they delay when it is bloody obvious, but it usually works to the benefit of the favoured team.

also those rules aren’t even applied by the letter of the law. When has an “attempted trip” ever been given as a foul?

 

[Yid-ol]

Wolves disallowed equaliser earlier..

It's how we should be dealing with corners. As soon as it comes I n push out so the defender on Vicario is then offside and interfering

 

[ItsBoris]

Lol Vicario has been impeded much worse on corners we’ve conceded from and always been overlooked
