It's obvious they're doing all they can to hinder Arsenal in their title challenge.
any where on the pitch thats a foul. your asking ex palace and arsenal players who are bias and cannot speak the kings english
Never ever will it be and it was not. The hate from officials for arsenal is beyond normal. Where was var?
That was a very very clear penalty. Was absolutely no need for Saliba to challenge for that ball , was no threat to Arsenal at all
Every wrong decision taken by the refree always goes against Arsenal, why?
Looking at multiple times “because Arsenal is chasing a title” sounds like privilege that unfortunately is given to “top” teams. It was a penalty – the talking heads need to move on.
No comment. Dey wont let arsenal win the League. Period!🙄😡
Skysports 'ref watch' ex referee….proper muppet, demock gallagher:
Saliba did NOT touch the ball….the ball touched HIM…😂😂😂😂😂
Letter of the law is only ever said when arsenal plays. Can someone explain why?
They are clashing each other so how its penality referee's should think they are hurt millions of heart we wach them how they are corupt
Feel sorry for Arsenal
Every single season
It's never ever a pen unless it's against Arsenal. FACT
VAR is CORRUPTION‼️
To hell with EPL never on Arsenalz side so embarrassing to watch
Corruption 100%
So what is VAR there for if they are not checking these things?
The problem is….with officials and VAR officials….there is NO accountability. With these decisions there is a HUGE amount riding on them…..they HAVE to be right. If there is a concensus that an incorrect decision was made then we HAVE to bring these officials out to explain themselves. Referees have to be HUMBLE. They have a screen there to use if in doubt, why do they seem to hesitate so much to use what they have available?? Regarding this match, there is just no way a penalty should have been awarded. It is very difficult to escape the conclusion that many referees are way too arrogant for justice to prevail. Referees need to get over themselves and do the job they are paid to do, NOT just strut around like they own the football field.
Honestly Arsenal we lose a trophy due refs.
I don’t know if there is an agenda against Arsenal, but the EPL officiating is fn atrocious. These guys are stealing a paycheck for the crap calls across the league. They have the luxury of VAR and still get it horribly wrong. How can you call it the best league in the world with the worst officiating?
Would VAR have awarded a penalty if the on field decision was NO penalty? Not a chance! And if you look carefully, BOTH players go to head the ball. It’s an accidental clash of heads and no more. If Saliba had reacted like Joao Pedro did, no way does the referee give that!
I think FIFA should change their rules by giving team back their points if being cheated like this.
Please tell them. They should come to Africa and learn how to use VAR
There's an agenda against Arsenal, truth will come out one day.
So if you touch the ball you can make any amount of contact anywhere? We all know that isn't the deciding factor. A dangerous follow through is always a foul these days.
Well thanks VAR and PGMOL you've basically ruined our 3rd title charge and potentially our first PL title in the Emirates era
I support arsenalfc and i feel sorry to all England referees who can't stop making mistakes in even game of English premier league and i don't see the use of VAR because it works for other team's but if it is arsenal fc we don't get advanced and our bosses and coach needs to buy goalscorer who can score more goals and use every opportunity of scorer goal because right now we have Jesus and kai who over West scorering opportunitys and when Jesus or kai score in weekend it takes them 4 to 6 games to score again this can not make our arsenal team to win English premier league
It’s a pen
Penalty or not when you think of the amount of money paid to get these players on to your team and the amount they get paid weekly and you see that a 17 year old is the only one who scores and none of your hi priced glory boys can do anything for the rest of the game then surely they aren't worth it!
Is Anthony Taylor not embarrassed of himself, having to leave a legacy for his kids for being complicit to one of the worst football officiating we've seen in this generation?
Now where is the consistency of the VAR…. Here in epl football
That ref was horrible he need to be fine for a horrible job and should not be allowed to ref a game again
Who are these people?
I refuse to accept it is humanly possible to believe that this was a penalty, and no I am not an Arsenal fan
This is refereeing errors or VAR .
I strongly suspect there’s some high level mafia going on in the EPL with refs and teams.
It’s too simplistic to assume these are errors.
Last time a VAR official was noted to be playing fantasy while on duty.
These guys are busy gambling and cheating .
Thieves and fraudsters everywhere .
Can’t trust the EPL anymore
Football is a game of momentum,the ref giving that pen swayed the momentum in Brighton's favor in the second half,if he doesn't give that pen Brighton would not have played as well,the ref was their 12th man in that second half!Brighton were trying to injure Aresenal players,Martinelli,sandwhiched in the second half by 2 Brigton players not even a foul given,no protection from Taylor.
There’s an agenda against Arsenal.
This season this is the 3rd game Arsenal have been screwed for this.
That referee is "one kind". A typical Nigerian will understand what I mean by that.
We shouldn’t be relying on refs or other teams. Put the game away because this is exactly what can happen when you don’t.
We have seen it over and again that referee's of the premier League need a central University to learn simple but impactful officiation
100% agree with this take.
Fraud. Refs are on the take. Not a bad decision.
It’s a pen
So we're not going to see the incident and at the end of the day Arsenal are a bunch of boring cheats anyways, just watch the game against City with their keeper going to ground. KARMA hits you when least expected.
Arsenal = MOST BORING TEAM SINCE THE 70'S……FACT.
