Is he the one at Sheff Utd?
Yup, he was the Ref for the match against Sheff Utd that the Referees Association (or whatever they're called now) had to apologise for and then he ****ed up a VAR call in the Premier League a couple of days later, and now he's done it again. He hadn't ref'd in two months prior to our match, I wonder why?! He's obviously incompetent.
 
I thought that was the right decision they were both at it. Also on Haaland’s goal he had a fistful of Gabriel’s shirt as he was striking the ball.

It was a yellow for both until he pushed forward, then its a red everyday of the week, regardless of what had gone on before.

For the goal, Gabriel had already pulled Haaland’s shirt, so you could disallow the goal but you’d have to award a penalty for the first foul.

He could have also been sent off and a penalty awarded when he leant in to block a goal bound shot with the top of his arm early on as well.

Given he was terrible all game and responsible for both goals the ref would have done Arsenal a favour if he’d sent him off.
 
I’m presuming that a red wasn’t brandished because both of their heads were already in contact and he just pushed rather than making contact with a butt?
 
Tymon in the team of the season
Always impresses me when he plays

And he also won goal of the season
Absolute incredible volley

I really enjoyed the scrap between Gabriel and Haaland, yeah he maybe should have been sent off, but they where going at each other all game, pushing , shoving, wrestling and goading each other-
rarely see it these days , all too busy hugging and making social plans on the pitch.
thats twice now in recent weeks ive enjoyed an old school type football match, maybe there is hope yet.

Callum Doyle has no place in that team, he is still living the trauma of the beasting he took from Liam Delap at Leicester two seasons ago.

That team of the year made me remember the days I was offering Haji Wright instead of Sinik for us...

I've visited several traditional production facilities like these in India - making items like inlaid furniture - and the skills on display are really impressive.


But not as impressive as the craftsmen's abilities to squat or sit cross-legged all day long.

I was wincing in pain just watching them.

That's what gets me about them, it's weird how they can do that, imagine the pins and needles we'd get. :emoticon-0145-shake
