Thoughts on the disallowed goal? I believe it took 4 and a half minutes to conclude that they have no angles to use to draw lines as per commentary relaying the information to viewers, yet they disallowed it. Why didn't they stick with the on field decision in this case (onside).

Are you sure it was for dissent? I thought it was for simulation 😂 If it was for dissent - I definitely haven't seen it.

It did feel like that tbh. Xhaka is a fairly easy target too. He probably remembered Partey being on his last warning and just mistaken them, somehow? Haha

Litterally just seen that Gallagher has come out to agree with the referee and said Xhaka 'had it coming'. It was his first foul and a nothing foul at that! How can a player who hasn't committed a foul all game 'have it coming?'

Ah I could remember someone falling into someone, but from the clip it looks like Son's challenge broke it?

Might have been? I can't remember what happened in detail, just remember it was an accident as he caught his own leg and he himself at hospital said it was never a red and a result of the ref basing his decision on the break. Think Son had something similar too v Everton? Although I can't...

Wasn't there a similar incident in the prem/cup this year/last season with a Liverpool player? I think he caught his own leg/boot as he tried a fancy pass which broke his own ankle? Then the opponent running alongside him got sent off? Feel sorry for them both. The bloke probably felt it...

That's what I mean. Red card is surely refereeing the outcome of something very unfortunate, rather than a challenge / tackle

Have a watch of this (beware of a leg break though) Red card?

Who else noticed the ridiculous mistake by the ref? Booked xhaka for practically nothing. Then said it was his third foul?! That was his first foul. The ref has clearly mistaken xhaka for Partey, who has committed two other fouls. Other than that, pretty good first half by the ref...

The commentator is just so boring banging on about that 'foul'?! Elanga should have been booked for diving if anything. Embarrassing

I don't understand how it wasn't? Forget the trip/shove, he had hold of his shirt twice in two different places stopping him from running towards goal. The shove is the icing on top of the cake. How about the boot to the face?

Disallow the goal for a violent headbutt to the keeper's flying knee. Disgraceful from Luiz

That's because there was an offside after the incident which stopped play for the lengthy VAR check/toilet break/computer restart.

Inconsistencies yet again.... Benefit of doubt, someone was offside before the handball? The initial shot that made it loop up? But you'd have thought they'd explain that?

I was surprised by 6 mins of additional mins too. 3 mins for this sub alone. 2 mins for the hamstring injury 2 mins for normal subs? Then how 2-4 mins weren't added on for all of the time wasting was interesting. I was fully expecting about 8/9 mins

Their manager made the wolves player faff about on the pitch (worse than the normal slow jog). He then refused to leave the pitch. Manager made a fuss and the ref got annoyed and had a conversation. Then the manager decided to take someone else off on the other side of the pitch so they could do...

What got me was the complete lack of cautions for the constant time wasting from around the 20th minute. The worst one was the substitution that the manager planned to disrupt the Arsenal attack and rhythm. It seemed to be about 2 mins long. Manager should have got booked for that too.

But isn't that because he has already fouled Mane? I still see no attempt whatsoever IMHO.

Center of penalty area. Just keeper to beat. No one near him. Taken out with no attempt to play the ball. Thought it was yellow if there was an 'attempt' Red if no attempt.
