Coneheadjohn Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just now, G STAR RAM said: Thought the sending off was harsh to be honest but Xhaqa put himself in a situation he really shouldn't have. Yes,there wasn't much contact and it looked worse as he took off like some sort of Mortal Kombat move so it could have gone either way. I think if you're off the ground these days when you dive in your off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wenger is a staunch protector of his own players. He will never criticise them, especially in public. He either didn't see the incidents, or the referee is to blame. I don't even know why they bother interviewing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he expecting him to go on the pitch and overturn the decision? Same with the players going over to the officials after the match has finished, what can they possibly be hoping to achieve? FA got a msssive decision to make now..... they need to go after him hard..... This is why I got peeved with the Ref Thread yesterday on here..... A coach or young lad on a Sunday will think it's fair game to that to a ref now if the FA end up being lily livered.... They ain't going to change the refs mind.

This is what I dont get about the 4th official, it almost seems like they were introduced to allow the likes of ferguson in his day and wenger to have someone to vent their frustration over. Its not like the 4th official is the decision maker, why does he even need to stand near the managers? Can he not do his job from the stands out of their way?

They ain't going to change the refs mind. Just because Wenger acted like a spoilt child despite (in my opinion) Jon Moss getting the big decisions right doesn't mean referees are beyond criticism. Any punishment coming Wengers' way will be fully deserved but the ref thread yesterday was fully justified - the bloke was a totally incompetent buffoon. As a general point, the thing that really grates with a lot of fans is the sheer arrogance shown by many of todays' officials and I include the linos in that. I usually watch the weekend highlights on most of the TV channels and even more so in Leagues 1 & 2, some of the preening and posing that's on display is stomach churning!

Coneheadjohn Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The 4th official does seem like the naughty step for refs. Even my 12 year old lad thought Wenger was pathetic. I still think the touchline melee that the fulham manager started yesterday was the best of the weekend.I'm still trying to work out how Martin got embroiled in it.

Totally agree they are not beyond criticism. Also agree they'll be a few who pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a referee I'd become arrogant too. It has reached the stage now where officials are criticised for giving correct decisions. 'The decision was correct, but he wasn't in the correct position to give it blah blah' The obsession with officials in this country has given officials widespread coverage in the media. Nobody knew their names 10-15 years ago, but nowadays you have Howard Webb analysing every decision on BT sport in his own studio and a host of other referees constantly talked about. It's beyond weird. And I really don't understand why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to giggle at the reactions of Wenger, the crowd and just about everybody else in the Arsenal game today - the chants of "You don't know what you're doing" ringing around the ground... and yet the ref (Jon Moss, I believe) got just about every single decision spot on.
