I don't have any faith in the officials that be getting VAR right. They're a bunch of nitwits watching a different game entirely.

 

[arsmile]

yeah VAR wont solve it

mike dean will be sitting behind the screen upstairs once he's retired buzzing the ref on the pitch telling them to give a pen against us

With var they will be forced to review if they like it or not

I still think they'll somehow get it wrong though. In Cricket, reviews still get ****ed up occasionally and the standard of officials is a million times higher. Video in front of them or not, I still wouldn't back the football refs to get it right.

Via FIFA.com

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm.

The referee must take the following into consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement

Such a shocking decision. I'm still fuming.

A healthy 2018 to you!

2017 was ****e.

Stick the fa cup up your arse, worst year of football under Wenger we’ve witnessed.

Tika Taka died when Cesc went, every year since we’ve got worse. 2018 is the year we sign Evans and Carroll and complete our transformation into Everton.

 

[FreakySami]

If it was just that decision, I wouldnt think he was a cheat but it's repeated and continuous bad decisions that makes me think

We got what we deserved for trying to do the bare minimum against a bottom of the league side. We played at walking pace for 85 minutes. That performance was actually one of the worst I've seen under Wenger.

That's not true go watch the game over and see how we were butchered all game and nothing was called and the other team was not given yellows. Of course when that happens everything will look disjointed. Of course! Of course in your games you will not need a moment of magic like idiot pundits say but to ducking score and make sure the referee cannot do anything about it. And duck me if I'm lying but that's what we did.

Then the ref comes and gives a ghost penalty.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

A healthy 2018 to you!

Here's hoping! And you too.

Were still paying the price for that Pires dive all those years ago.
