Where was the caution to Silva for delaying the restart for his 60 seconds of clapping fans and guard of honour? ;)

Every match week there are 'natural coming together' at corners or 'both are holding each other' or a more recent term 'contact was made before the ball was in play'. Without Raya's arm being pulled down, shirt being pulled from behind and arm across the face/body, that's a simple catch.

Pick from any of the 3 fouls committed.

There is more aggression and violence in that punch than there was for recent red cards. For example, the hair pulls and the non red for Gabriel. Are you referring to the first 'DOGSO'? I can see why that wasn't given. It was a mess and both players look drunk. The one I'm referring to is the...

Dogso: Brentford player crossed the ball into the Brentford player just inside the penalty area. Brentford player was tripped and pushed from behind so he didn't have a tap in. Clear DOGSO and red not given. Silva punched a Brentford player in the leg. It wasn't even disguised as anything...

Simone has been just as bad. Would have been worse if the scoreline was the other way round.

The ball changes it's trajectory and Sesko's fingers move. Not sure what else you need? It's a horrendous mistake by VAR. If you watch the after match 'analysis' they are all joking about it. Even Keane was in on the jokes!

Interesting here some are saying it should be a red card, but with the United Hair pull it shouldn't have been one? There was probably less force in Gabriel's head movement than the hair pull. I guess it shows everyone has varying opinions and why VAR is always under scrutiny! Disclaimer: I...

I have a feeling the player was offside hence no action taken.

Don't give Arteta ideas!

Wouldn't any type of hair pull be under 'excessive force'? It's not a footballing action and therefore any force behind pulling hair would be deemed excessive?

I really am unsure what the debate is about? First action - normal and a footballing action jumping for the ball. Second movement - yanks the hair. Sorry, but I can't see anything other than a red. If, however, it was all one action and chance involved, I could see why it's could be debatable.

I think it's really unprofessional. Tell them to go away, if they don't, caution them all. Its intimidation from the Chelsea players.

Just out of interest, why didn't you show all the Chelsea holding offenses the other end? The biggest issue I saw in the match was the appalling lack of understanding what advantage is. The ref stopped three(!) Arsenal counter attacks when they outnumbered Chelsea defenders, but the ref stopped...

Was anyone surprised at the lack of red for DOGSO for Calafori yesterday? VAR gave penalty and once that happened surely it's a red for DOGSO? He wasn't playing the ball, he was pulling the shirt, so the 'double jeopardy rule' doesn't come into play. Was Kepa's positioning enough to put doubt...

If you watch it again, you could say he punches him in the chest first, while competing for the ball. Don't mind that, bit of benefit of doubt. But the punch in the head, when the ball was out of play, not playable for either player, there is simply no justification for it.

Had Maguire's arm been beside him or close, it would make sense, but it was outstretched and away from his body. From IFAB website for examples for law 12 : An attacker (Team A) attempts to pass the ball. A defender (Team B) makes a slide tackle to block the pass. The ball touches the right...

Was Maguire falling over? Or was he throwing his body on the line and making himself a lot bigger to stop a goal?
