These guys went to a great length to criticize arteta and protect PGMol. But when Manchester United got decisions against them, they are suddenly against var and referees? And United got robbed somehow? Where was that energy with arteta?
This is why Var and referees won’t improve that much. They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.
It ain’t about Man United or Arsenal - it’s because Rashford is English. They basically jump to defend any English player. If Arteta was English, they’d sucking him off big time
I think it’s more to do with the fact the PGMOL called up to sky to complain about how they’re talking about the referees.
UEFA hasn’t done that so they’re free to criticise as much as they like
Also - refs weren’t English this time around.
I mean the pundits that are not defending Manchester United as well and saying that they did it summer right and some wrong. Pundits literally say these things to create reactions because it gives them attention and attention gives them traction and followers, and so forth, and so on.
It’s almost like the pundits were actually expressing their own views… I noticed Wrighties views haven’t had much airing on here and r/soccer.
Arsenal fans are unhinged in this thread holy shit
Oh yeah, it’s wonderful.
r/championship is never this entertaining🍿
Yes, it’s like rain on your wedding day.
The media are awful - they sensationalise and criticise everything.
Ange Postecoglu has the right attitude.
The only reason your post got up voted is because man united hate.
“They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.”
Are you talking about United or Arsenal here? Applies to Arsenal just as much as United.
Howard Webb can’t refuse to do his cozy little interviews with them if they’re only criticising UEFA referees
The amount of slander arteta gets is mental. Worked out its mostly from triggered opp fans staring at their own management failures.
Honest question, where does Arteta get hate? I don’t follow Arsenal but I don’t see this anywhere that I consume sports media
Convinced yourself more like.
You’re right
Lolol
I mean that’s the Arsenal point of view…
I literally see it the opposite way Everyone agreed and was sympathetic for both Klopp and Arteta when it happened to them (till they started demanding points and replays)
But the Ref has done Utd every single game since wolves on both competitions (there must be a stat for teams getting effed by Var somewhere), and pundits just tell him to shut up and get on with it when he passingly mentions it lol.
But I guess everyone is biased towards their team’s interests …
There is, United are bottom, or top, of the Got Fucked By VAR table.
No. VAR is a disgrace and ETH, rightfully so because UTD are indeed getting fked by VAR, should do the same Arteta is doing if we want to see change. Wtf is wrong with people completely acting like you’re part of a corporate?
??? What is this absolute drivel lol
Arteta sounded like a baby for days straight and the whole fanbase had a wild headloss
The worst thing is, watched that game of United and the ref was pretty good… the red was very similar to the one Liverpool got, he should be responsible for his body and if his leg hurts someone, its his fault, intentional or not… so if we wanted consistent refereeing, we got it right there.
Those penalties were very similar (with the difference being, Kobenhagen player had less than 0.2s to react when the header went off few centimeters away from his hand, but still, he should not have it there, so its fair call… the one United got against them were 2 hands and ref could basically choose which one he calls, both would stand, but Maguire was more obvious.
What are they bitching about exactly? Or is there something else I did not see?
He should be responsible for his body
Yes, and that’s true for other players too. If you dive into a 50/50 challenge at shin height with your head, it’s not a red card for the other player.
Rashford was stepping to his side, perfectly within his right with where he had possession of the ball. If the Copenhagen player puts his foot or leg under that step, that’s on them.
Never a red for me and its baffling to me how many people say it is.
So if I decide to do sliding tackle and you see me going, as you are responsible for your body, its your fault for not jumping over?
A slide tackle is inherently dangerous. Taking a side step is not. If you can’t tell the difference then I can’t engage in a bad faith discussion where we play hypothetical.
Thanks! Was trying to make it up in my head 😂👍
