Dele after the game "just lump it forwards and fuking defend"
I still haven't seen it, but I assume that the implication of this is that Martial dived.
If that's the case, then why isn't he being banned, like Niasse was a few years ago?
The "implication" (or actual reasoning i would think) is that Martial had lost control of the ball therefore no denial of goal scoring opportunity
As it's you answering, I'm going to assume that this is wrong.The "implication" (or actual reasoning i would think) is that Martial had lost control of the ball therefore no denial of goal scoring opportunity
I think the inference is that it was an accidental collision.
There was clearly contact, which caused Martial, who was running at speed, to fall.
Bednarek went to make a challenge, tried to pull out when he realises he can't get the ball and will take out the man, but still made contact.
He has been given the benefit it being deemed accidental, which is generous.
Luiz made accidental contact and his ban was upheld. Not very consistent.
Ajax aren't having the best week. The laughable mistake over Haller's European registration has been upheld and now this:

Andre Onana has been banned for 12 months for taking a banned substance.
Really poor timing for him, in a bunch of ways. Linked with a big move and misses the African Nations in his own country.

Consistency is a different issue altogether!
One of the many problems with VAR is that it distorts perspective. Watching images from mutiple cameras in slow motion creates a misleading impression of how an event happened in real time. Physical contact of this kind happens in a fraction of a second. In slo-mo, a false impression is created that a player (Bednarek) has time to make a decision e,g to pull out of a tackle, when in reality he has acted instinctively and had very little time to readjust.
It's the same with handballs. Things can look deliberate in slo-mo, as if the raising of an arm into the path of the ball was intended to block it, when, at full speed, it's apparent a player is simply gaining leverage.

dark meme that mate.What worries me in that pic is why ndombele is putting the feelers out lol.
Sucky thinks that Alli quote was after our last game and Trebs buys it hook line n sinker

You'd think it appearing in an Amazon doc would have been his first clue
...but that would imply they ever had one
For as **** as we are at the moment, at least we know Arsenal are that bit ****ter.
A couple of things which illustrate a massive problem with the Laws at least in my opinion. A few minutes ago Xhaka blatantly and deliberately badly fouls Grealish to stop a breakaway. Gets a yellow card and concedes a free kick neither of which affect anything.
In our match Dier slightly mistimes a kick on the ball in the penalty area and that effectively hands the opposition a goal.
No argument with either decision under the current Law. But wouldn't the game be much fairer if any deliberate foul was a penalty and a mistimed challenge never was?

Why?
You are happy that deliberate cheating goes unpunished and minor offences decide matches? The concept of a penalty area encourages diving apart from anything else.
