Live Match Discussion 2022/23

[Wilf Wolf]

In both City and Arsenal’s hands. Their game is now huge!

 

[YoungWolf]

That was such a fun game to watch

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Can't stand Ramsdale and he's about 10% as good as he thinks he is, but two absolutely massive saves.

Arsenal massively chucked it though. Should never have let Liverpool back in.

I'd missed that one of the linesmen threw an elbow at Andy Robertson.

Roles reversed and that would be a considerable ban for Robertson

 

[jd1981]

Yeah but you don’t often see officials running at players and getting right in their face as if they’re going to plant them.
Very much think there’s two sides to this

I'm not so sure, they couldn't even be arsed to charge Bruno.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Barely touched him. Move on. I’m with jd that it’s just a get off me motion.

Disciplinary issues for that would be a bit of a joke when there’s far more issues in the game that need sorting.

 

[jd1981]

Robertson enters what you’d call his personal space looks like he puts his hand on the official who does the natural thing of lifting your arm up to say get off me the fact that Robertson is right on top of him isn’t his fault

 

[jd1981]

Arsenal should never have let Liverpool back, by far the better side. It will come down to that game at City which I think City will win. I’m hoping the scenario on the final day is us in stress free mode and playing a part in the title race.

This looks pretty damning to me

What the linesman has done is obviously wrong. What it doesn’t show is Robertson putting his hands on him beforehand and I think that Henderson did to the ref afterwards. It has to stop - players touching officials should be red carded instantly.

I think it was discussed in this thread a while back, this is all in the PGMOLs control but for some reason they don't.

It looks like Robertson goes to grab Hatzidakis, who brushes him off with his arm and accidentally catches him.

This is my view of it and I think how it will be seen after review, probably no action apart from a warning.
The lack of respect towards officials is such a simple problem to fix. Problem is PGMOL has no bollocks when it comes to the bigger clubs.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

There's a reason why there isn't a great deal of respect for officials though. Not condoning it though obviously.

It wouldn't be impossible for them to clamp down lack of respect towards officials and at the same time don't allow them to 'bottle' decisions. Atm neither the on field officials or VAR and more concerning PGMOL have the balls to make correct decisions.

 

[leedswolf]

Assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis will not be involved in any matches while the Football Association investigates an incident in which he appeared to elbow Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

 

[jd1981]

Not really

 

[jd1981]

First thing you need to know, what was said to the official? Did Robertson make initial contact? Assistant can easily claim self defence and feeling threatened, might not get him off but it’ll give large amounts of mitigation.
Official has been hung by most the media already
