These guys went to a great length to criticize arteta and protect PGMol. But when Manchester United got decisions against them, they are suddenly against var and referees? And United got robbed somehow? Where was that energy with arteta?

This is why Var and referees won’t improve that much. They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.

    You mean like how Arteta was kissing VARs ass after the Liverpool game then was a cry baby when it was against his own team a few weeks later?

    Welcome to the real world friend.

    Howard Webb is involved only thing for it is corruption.

    And feedthekids rashly hole incident, happened in Europe why is it being mentioned on the epl threads?

    Everyone laughed when it was Liverpool but no one stood up. Now it’s week after week all we talk about is var and one the worse refs has the biggest match of the weekend city vs Chelsea a week after being demoted to the league below.

    Epl is the laughing stock of football

    The amount of slander arteta gets is mental. Worked out its mostly from triggered opp fans staring at their own management failures.

    Did Ten Hag have a complete meltdown? Have Man United released an official statement saying the ref was mean to them 🥺

    There’s the difference

    “They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.”

    Are you talking about United or Arsenal here? Applies to Arsenal just as much as United.

    Jesus Christ Arsenal you lost a game 1 0 after a controversial but not obviously incorrect decision. You’re not the first team this has happened to and with or without VAR you won’t be the last. Get over it.

    The worst thing is, watched that game of United and the ref was pretty good… the red was very similar to the one Liverpool got, he should be responsible for his body and if his leg hurts someone, its his fault, intentional or not… so if we wanted consistent refereeing, we got it right there.

    Those penalties were very similar (with the difference being, Kobenhagen player had less than 0.2s to react when the header went off few centimeters away from his hand, but still, he should not have it there, so its fair call… the one United got against them were 2 hands and ref could basically choose which one he calls, both would stand, but Maguire was more obvious.

    What are they bitching about exactly? Or is there something else I did not see?

      He should be responsible for his body

      Yes, and that’s true for other players too. If you dive into a 50/50 challenge at shin height with your head, it’s not a red card for the other player.

      Rashford was stepping to his side, perfectly within his right with where he had possession of the ball. If the Copenhagen player puts his foot or leg under that step, that’s on them.

      Never a red for me and its baffling to me how many people say it is.

        So if I decide to do sliding tackle and you see me going, as you are responsible for your body, its your fault for not jumping over?

          A slide tackle is inherently dangerous. Taking a side step is not. If you can’t tell the difference then I can’t engage in a bad faith discussion where we play hypothetical.

    Howard Webb can’t refuse to do his cozy little interviews with them if they’re only criticising UEFA referees

    I mean the pundits that are not defending Manchester United as well and saying that they did it summer right and some wrong. Pundits literally say these things to create reactions because it gives them attention and attention gives them traction and followers, and so forth, and so on.
