    Are they actually an independent panel. I get why technically they could be “independent” but aren’t they all just former refs and pgmol members?

    If that’s not a foul, every single game from now on Arsenal should just start by floating crosses to the back post and blatantly push defenders down. There’s no need to be sly about it, make it the most obvious pushes.

    I would love to see what evidence they had to disallow the goal that Rashford apparently let the ball go out of play for. Different rules for different clubs apparently.

    Joelinton has two stretched arms in the back of Gabriel, how is that not a freekick?! 👀

    I’m in awe people are still crying about this. The Liverpool decision last night was worse and the man United decision was about on par and everyone has moved on.

      Arsenal fans are the softest fan base in all of football. I honestly don’t get how they watch the game and find enjoyment out of it.

      True, because other decisions were worse we should ignore all other injustices. We should also just move on and then complain about the same stuff next week when more bad decisions happen. Nothings going to change if people don’t keep talking about it.

      Arsenal have the most batshit conspiracy theory crazy fanbase on the internet, they are either 10yr olds or have the mental capacity of 10yr olds. it’s hilarious how triggered they got over a correct decision this week. They’ve become the new banter FC, been some incredible takes. Been fun to watch the state of some of it

      For me, I think it’s because people can’t even admit that Arsenal got fucked over that match. There are still people who think the goal was fair.

      Then there’s stories of PGMOL making sure pundits cover the referees

        If Harvetz is sent off like he should of been either for the tackle they reviewed or the other late tackle that should have been a second yellow, then the game is probably very different.

      I think it’s the fact that there are 3 controversial incidents in one game and within one of those incidents 3 controversial calls were made.

      Add to that the aggrieved parties manager called out the refereeing organisation.

      It’s being reposted by a United fan, only difference is this is now in a neat little graphic instead of the full report.

      Man I am crying about all of it. I don’t care if it was UEFA, the Rashford Red Card was fucking atrocious. I didn’t see the Liverpool call but I also cried about the abysmal communication that disallowed Liverpool’s goal against Tottenham too. And I will cry when any team is fucked over by the refs. Refs are making headlines more than players are, and that is a problem.

      Probably because, just as football fans rage over other VAR decisions showing refs just the still image, a still image doesn’t show enough evidence. Go back slightly from the where the still image is, you’ll see Gabriel jumps upward slightly, before then flopping himself.

      I don’t mind getting downvoted into oblivion by fans who disagree with this, but go take a careful look for yourself, without bias, and you’ll see Joelinton doesn’t impede Gabriel, and Gabriel’s movement is inconsistent with if he’d been pushed, hence he can’t have been pushed.

    I just don’t really get the consistency here.

    I personally have no issue with VAR not being able to rule that the ball went out of play. I think Gabriel was fouled in the build-up and I still don’t see how they didn’t have the correct footage for the offside, but that’s another matter entirely.

    My point is that if there wasn’t enough evidence to rule out whether or not Willock had run the ball out for them to act, then why was Rashford keeping the ball in play against Brighton not given the same advantage? Surely, they had the same level of evidence for that, no?

      They had a camera view level with the goal line for the rashford goal, which they didn’t for this one.

      They didn’t actually, there was a camera level with the line rather than at an off angle

      They had a better angle on that one they judged to be sufficient evidence to rule that out.

      Dw there will be multiple new fuck ups this weekend and we’ll move onto those. Nothing will ever change, it’ll be a continual cycle of fuck ups from the pgmol.

    Who is part of this independent committee?? Unless we know that how can we truly know it’s independent?
