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.

Just out of interest, why wasn't the Leeds player sent off for DOGSO for the second penalty? Last man, No attempt to play the ball whatsoever, trips and drags down Mane.

One thing that concerns me the most in this game. Koch went off as a normal sub despite the head injury. What happened to concussion/head injury subs?

No attempt to play the ball at all. Just clattered into him to break down an attack. No one would complain with a yellow.

Going to bring up classic VAR inconsistencies... Man city get the penalty - was daft to raise your hands up like that when attempting to close down a cross. Arsenal denied a handball penalty for an arm above the head and out stretched in a 'Y' kind of position, ball heading towards goal. Hit...

Not even a yellow either I don't think. I suppose back to the narrative of 'let's keep it 11 v 11' like in the other post? Haha Mind boggling

Exactly this. Bad tackle, yellow card, players surrounding referee, player being cautioned is in the referee's face, raging, clearly swearing and calling him names (possibly even red card) and the referee, usually 99% of the time, doesn't bother doing anything about it. This should be a classic...

Its a shame that football is literally the only sport where this is 'acceptable' /rules are bent just because you are a 'professional'.

Dissent is a cautionable offence? Doesn't matter how 'managable it is'. When you see Premier League players shouting and swearing in the face of a referee go unpunished it is infuriating. Then what happens in Sunday league? Refs are abused and assaulted. I haven't called him a cheat, he did...

You have answered the frustration of many referees and fans across the country withn your reply. Referees in the prem seem to almost use different variations of rules/bench marks to what is written in the rule book. My opening sentence = yes he has done the right thing. I am in no way...

Has the referee followed the rules? Yes. Going to throw a curve ball here.. I have never seen any referees so eager to send players off for double yellows when the players has hacked someone down, got up and sworn continuously in the face of a referee for 30 seconds and performed all types...

Well justice served. Offside and Spurs lost. Still isn't an excuse for what happened, or the lack of anything happening.

What a complete mess. Spurs player fouls Southampton player on half way line. Results in head injury from the tackle and Sanchez landing on his head/neck. Ref doesn't give foul nor stops play for a clear head injury. Spurs go on and score. 2 issues. 1) brings up the inconsistency of...

Ah I watched it on my phone last night. With that still I see it now. Yeah, probably could have cleared the ball, especially as he is closer to goal too. I thought it was the player more central that scored.

It's basically the same as the Villa v Utd goal in the FA Cup that was disallowed. But in this situation, Maguire's block was on a player that defo was not contesting for the ball nor would have got anywhere near it.

If this was the case you would disregard all Sunday league Dogso based on skill alone (no offence to any Sunday league players here)
