Finally a yellow...

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Woohoo a yellow

 

[vanandjuanunited]

And an injury - karma me thinks or not

 

[mid_gen]

Horrendous tackling, that one on Maguire should have been a yellow.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

And again another tackle not punished

 

[CliffyG]

This Arsenal game is a shocker. Saka and Laca missing sitters.

 

[omnomnom]

Maguire there...

Both English clubs should be battering these.

You just know if Arsenal don't win Artetas getting stick

 

[CliffyG]

We've had no real game plan from what I can see. Hard to look past him especially as he still hasn't made a change and Martinelli is on the bench yet again.

You just said yourself they are missing sitters. He can't put it in for them.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Telles not doing himself any favours

 

[CliffyG]

Yeah I guess but our general play is toilet.

 

[omnomnom]

Harry Maguires an idiot.

 

[Shamikebab]

And ref gets another player suspended, he clearly had a list of our players that were a yellow away because he gave Shaw and Maguire cards for their first challenge (both of which were dives)

 

[omnomnom]

And ref gets another player suspended

No, Maguire did that.

 

[fez]

No, Maguire did that.

You can't argue too much with any of the yellows, a couple have been a bit soft but they have let Granada get away with murder in this game. If hes booking everyone for the same challenges fine, but hes not.

Oh yea they absolutely have but thats a yellow for Maguire. He's pulled him back...the issue there should be Maguire being a brain dead idiot.

The ref is allowing them to get away with it though but if you tug someone back...expect a yellow. He should know better.

I agree up to a point but a referee sets the tone and level of a game. When the opposition are doing something and getting away with it, the assumption is that the ref is letting it slide. When he turns around and books you for something he lets the opposition do a number of times its not right.

Playing dirty and getting away with it is a massive advantage.

Always been the case though. Whenever a ref sees a pull of a shirt its an instant yellow nowadays. The refs have seemed to be anti English sides this week though which is odd. I noticed it in our game vs Madrid and have tonight.

 

[omnomnom]

I guess a heavy challenge is open to debate but a shirt pull is just a shirt pull.
