A controversial refereeing decision has sparked outrage among Arsenal fans, fueling accusations of bias against the Premier League's PGMOL. The author argues that the decision, which resulted in a penalty against Arsenal, was out of context and demonstrably incorrect based on VAR evidence. They criticize the perceived leniency towards big teams and the influence of media and fan tribalism on objective analysis.
The football Arsenal are playing is described as ‘monotonous, pointless and toothless’ as another ‘outrageous’ decision goes against them. Plus, Tottenham have finally broken Ange Postecoglou’s brain, Man Utd laughing stock and much more…going against Arsenal .
Let’s get a few things clear, every team gets bad decisions that alone isn’t isolated to Arsenal, but what is isolated is these decisions that you cannot point to another time it’s happened in the league and you can be sure it won’t happen again. The decisions are completely out of context with how the game is refereed. Secondly, I’m sure there will be plenty of fans who come out to gas lite Arsenal fans saying the decision was fine, a certain penalty, that much is obvious, the poor decision suits virtually every other fan, it takes 2 points from Arsenal so all the teams at the top are happy with it, all our big 6 rivals are happy and generally all fans are happy when something bad happens to a big team. Tribalism is not allowing fans to be objective. Sky sports are implicit in it too, look how critical Sky were of so many ref decisions until this season, PGMOL have clearly told Sky to button it and in exchange they will give Sky better but carefully orchestrated access to PGMOL. Webb has done the seemingly impossible and made ref standards worse. Apparently var took 3 seconds to confirm the penalty, you can see on the slow mo that the ball clearly bounces of Saliba’s head before any clash of heads. That’s the equivalent of a tackle by Saliba, winning the ball. So even if the refs believe the head on head contact constitutes a penalty (which it never has in any game ever) they’ve completely ignored the touch on the ball by Saliba. PGMOL should be releasing the audio for every var decision, not just the ones they want, let’s hear the conversation on this particular one to see if the var even recognise the ball hitting Saliba’s head before the clash of head
