It wasn't that bad a decision. Defenders shouldn't jump with their arms away from their body, he did, and it hit his arm. A harsh decision maybe, but probably the right one to be honest. That's why Inigo and Barnes would always have their arms behind their back when in their own area.
He's like a strutting peacock. I bet he gets his hair done for every game. Agree with his over emphasis on decisions.
Refereeing football attracts too many of the wrong type. I hesitate to even contemplate the state of some of their psyches. I'm sure its the bloody refs who oppose more widespread use of technology - because it would take away more of their power and deminish their own ego experience. My former head of department was a referee. Wielding power was his thing. But a far more wise senior colleague had him taped: 'good NCO but not officer material'. Sums up a lot of referees in my book. And we see far more of the worse ones in our little division. Only slighly better than what we enjoyed in div 3: 'random decision generators', I recall, mostly, because they seemed to think it didn't really matter at 'our' level. I'm all cross now
One of us is blind. His elbow was out, away from his body. Not sure how you can think it wasn't.
Let me guess - you're a referee
Not really evened up if you think it was the wrong decision, whereas you think the penalty was 50/50, and the sending off has given Arsenal 3 points.
