This churns the stomach. Mike Dean, who openly admitted to not doing the job required of him, because his mate had a tough game. Now paid by Sky to tell us how honest referees are!

"Arsenal's title race will not be against Liverpool. It will be against Premier League referees" ✍️

Last season when Saliba headed the ball first against Brighton Howard Webb said a “slight touch” isn’t enough to overturn the penalty. Today, he called Nick Pope's touch 'clear' therefore making it not a foul. What are the rules? He's a danger to the game.

There are no actual rules that the PGMOL follow. Webb will justify as many decisions as he can, with a few concessions to appease the masses, regardless of whether it contradicts precedent, to maintain the image that he and his mates are legitimate authorities and not charlatans.

Saliba and Joao Pedro came together as a normal consequence but they still got the pen. So inconsistent it’s boring

I’d like to say “I cannot believe the Howard Webb video” but I absolutely can. One year apart he’s used the same logic to both give against and then overturn a penalty for, Arsenal. If it isn’t corruption, what is it? It can’t be incompetence when every time it’s the same.

Pope did not make contact, it was a normal consequence? But Pope ran towards Gyokeres… Pope was second to the ball… Pope got the man first before he got the ball… Howard Webb, you might be the most intellectually incompetent being to walk the earth

It’s pure corruption and deciding outcomes based on a fabricated grey area. If a PGMOL goblin shot someone, he’d say the victim ran into the bullet.

Even with video evidence, they still lie. They can’t be helped, Howard Webb is the rotten apple at the core.

What abject nonsense. He is not fit for purpose

The more Howard Webb opens his mouth and tries to justify VAR decisions against Arsenal the more it concerns you that the whole edifice is simply rotten to the core

This is incredibly revealing. So the PGMOL “Chief Refereeing Officer” makes money - and envy of others’ - an obsession. That is a massive governance risk to the competition. Meanwhile, we get the officiating we do. 🤔

Jarred Gillet literally applies Howard Webb’s own logic, from both Lamptey on Jesus and Saliba on Joao Pedro Darren England then fairly forcefully changes his mind. This goes against EVERYTHING Howard Webb has preached, both in whether that’s a penalty, AND re-refereeing

The audio from the Gyokeres penalty incident at Newcastle 👀 It sounds like Darren England has already made his mind up in the VAR room and does everything he can to convince Jarred Gillet to go to the screen & change his decision VAR is running the game not the match officials

What's it like living in the UK?

Liverpool are not a team in transition. They won the title & dropped £446.5 million on Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez, Frimpong & Leoni, the biggest spend of any club in history & broke the English transfer record.. twice. No club gets protected in the media like Liverpool do.

What on earth has happened to Britain? It’s a total mess. Successive governments have destroyed Britain and flogged it off to corporate cronies. Britain has become a Petri dish experiment of government facilitated decline and corporate asset grabbing. It’s absolutely disgusting.

I think PGMOL and the Var have now set the standards, any contact first with the attacker is not a pen if the defenders make very slight contact with the ball afterwards. Even if it needs 4 mins to confirm it the touch. Let’s see in the next weeks and months if they stick to that
