Bairnardo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The lesson for Arsenal today..... You might be good.... With a few minor changes, you could be VERY good, but..... You are JUST NOT BARCLAYS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 City made heavy weather of that, but I'm sure they'll not be worried by my opinion, another three points and they march on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 3 minutes ago, Mr. Brightside said: Are you an Arsenal fan by any chance? You're allowed to celebrate in front of the opposition fans so long as you don't shush them and things like that. Anyone wanting a played sent off for that is OFTW. You are absolutely not supposed to celebrate like that in front of opposition fans If he wasn't booked for removing his shirt he would absolutely be booked for that. Not an Arsenal fan but would absolutely want to see them beat Man City every single time. Of course I don't want to see red cards for celebrating goals. The point is the referee was over officious towards one team. Holding was booked for a slight foul on de Bruyne when Rodri and Gundogan made similar fouls where the referee chose not to book them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 That's an absolutely clear penalty, anyone who says it isn't is at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The city penalty is very soft. Silva moves towards his leg to get the contact. But zhaxa holding him doesn’t help his cause either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Peter Walton is having an absolute nightmare here. Is he really the best ref they can dig up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Neither were pens for me.From one angle, the arsenal looks like a pen. From the other, looks like the keeper gets the ball first. The silva one, is where you hear the commentators say “oh, there was contact, he’s entitled to go down” but personally, i don’t think there is enough contact for him to go down. Why zhaka has a hold of his shirt though, i will never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of the other contenders could have done that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 When is pulling a shirt, by the laws of the game, not a foul? There’s no ambiguity about it. Whether it’s applied consistently is up for debate but it’s just something you shouldn’t do if you’re defending in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Agreed Xhaka is an idiot but Silva is diving before xhaka has touched his shirt so think that infringement should be penalised first. Xhaka grabs his shirt as Silva is falling on top of him so he doesn't impede Silva in any way by the shirt pull. I don't actually know the wording of the laws on this point though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Defender pulling Kane with 2 arms around him in the box and no penalty. There is no consistency in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva is going over Xhaka's knee, which has just taken Silva's ability to complete his stride away from him. Again, a foul and a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
