I misread this and thought you were asking who gave him a 1. Because I did and although he may have tried to “fix it”, in the very same game, he only gave a yellow for a much worse tackle and he’s been consistent in his referring approach against Arsenal compared to our opponents for multiple years.
Martinelli’s two yellows within the same passage of play: never seen that before or again.
Trossard for kicking the ball away: barely see that given and he had some opportunities to punish Wolves for that.
Not carding Kovacic: he didn’t want to “influence” the game. For someone who doesn’t want to influence games, he very well seems to influence games against us…
There are probably a lot more I’m not bothered to spend the time to research.
Whether bias, malice, incompetence, he’s always punished us to the fullest extent of the law within the game or beyond.
Appreciate it. Feels so stupid to be annoyed the way I am xD
I think it’s a few things, football related and generally, that have accumulated to a point where I’m venting in what feels like a very scatter gun approach.
I guess football is supposed to be something we enjoyed, offer some escape, and this season feels like the enjoyment has been few and far between.
We’ve struggled enough as thibgs stand without a 3rd party officiating body kicking us at every opportunity.
