Far, far to casual from Jack Hughes on that empty net situation. Lazy back hand pass in the middle of the ice. Dumb play #NJDevils

Markstrom if we win #NJDevils

Canes shooters hitting the post tonight

So glad we won on Sunday because this would have driven me insane otherwise. But to your point: seen clips of him completely contradicting himself over very similar incidents. It means they're just going on vibes, rather than actual rules.

Didn't expect anything different from this farce. Howard Webb needs to go, he's not interested in improving match officials - he's a gaslighting grifter whose stealing a living.

This is utter gaslighting 101, it’s shameful, it’s pathetic. There’s now so many clips of this show that we all have the receipts and can quite easily pick out examples of where Howard Webb says exactly the opposite of what he’s previously said. Utter shambles.

The premier league won’t grow up and become a proper global sporting competition as long as PGMOL is in charge of their referees. The Clubs and their supporters deserve better but the league is largely undermined by PGMOL’s incompetence.

Howard Webb will go on TV & tell you a lie that you can easily disprove with the visual evidence right in front of you. And he does this while contradicting his prior comments about similar situations. If anyone at PGMOL remotely cared about their credibility he’d be gone. But they clearly don’t.

Oh boy, Dale Johnson doing PGMOL propaganda today. Says that Gyökeres was not fouled and that it should have been a penalty for Newcastle for the Gabriel "Handball" 🤡

Fuck off Newcastle United

Fuck Newcastle, fuck them up their stupid asses.

Ok ok maybe an eff off win then. X

Big Gabi

Surely VAR must find something wrong with that…

VAR checked the handball and decided we were better off with Gabriel attacking a corner.

BIG GABI!!!!! 2-1 ARSENAL!!!

Off Gabis leg then arm. No pen

Jamie Redknapp and Shay Given both thought the call should have stood. Whether you think it was a foul or not on replay, it was given on the pitch. It does not seem to come close to meeting the standard for review and overturn.

At best, Jarred Gillett allowed himself to be pushed from a right decision to a wrong one. Spineless.

To the issue of "clear and obvious error" - if the VAR is, as the U.S. announcers said, having to PERSUADE the referee to come around to their view of the call, how can it possibly be a "clear and obvious error?" The very fact that it requires persuasion indicates that it is not clear nor obvious.

Call aside, I don’t like refs being called over to paused screens. Football is flow and context. You can pause a shirt tug and it’ll look like a foul, even if it’s a millisecond. You can pause a slight touch of the ball, but it doesn’t give the player carte blanche from there.

Robbie Earle thinks that the penalty award should have stood. He said it was a foul by Nick Pope and that Gyokeres might have even gone on to get the ball and put it in the net anyway. By the way, if reasonable people disagree about a call, it cannot, by definition, be a clear and obvious error.

"I'm amazed that got overturned" Jamie Redknapp

Arsenal should make a formal request to have Jared Gillett off any and all of our matches.

It is like two different sets of laws are being used for each team.

Gordon knocks it around Saka and just runs into him. How has Saka got time to move?

I don't know how the ref has seen Saka handle the ball based on his position and the linesman not flagging. Vibes based reffing

Why didn’t we have Gillett looking at 20 replays to make the decision again this time?

So Arsenal aren't allowed to dry the ball for throw ins?

Have you ever seen a referee take a towel off a player before?

Is this referee a fucking towel monitor too?!

All I do know is Dale Johnson is furiously making shit up about how that was the perfect call.

The announcers in the U.S. said that the VAR was essentially lobbying the referee to change the call.

The way that penalty incident was dealt with was absolutely re-refereeing by the way. The ref has seen the incident live but they’ve asked him to watch it again 20 times and make a new decision.

It's as clear a penalty as you will ever see. "Desgracia Part 2"

I'm not aware of there being any law that says if a player gets a touch of the ball, they can then take a player out. If you trip a player in the box, so that he cannot continue to run to the ball, that's got to be a penalty surely.

Getting a touch on the ball doesn’t always negate a foul. In my biased opinion I think that was the case here. Oh well. Go win it.

I'm not sure why a touch on the ball from Pope means he can take Gyokeres down. It's still a foul.

Worse than pathetic from VAR.

Touching the ball doesn't mean it is not a fuckng foul. Joke decision 🤡

Knee on knee contact from Pope. Yet they are Var'ing this....

EEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

MARTINELLI!!!!!

That's.... a lot of water is being splashed around on what is meant to be a premier league pitch...

Casemiro

That simply just cannot be a penalty. What is he meant to do? Have no arms? Real Madrid lucky there

TROSSARD!!! 2-0!!

MARTINELLLLLLLLLIIIII!!!! 1-0 ARSENAL!!!

Bills Ravens. Insane game
