Arsenal v Wolves comms thread.

[Hawkguy]

On any given Sunday…….

It was less of a pen than either of the fulham ones.

Jesus got his body position wrong and he jumped too early that is why it wasn’t given.

If he had been late getting up or not jumped at all I would agree. But he got his own technique and timing massively wrong so the contact made no difference on the outcome.

Okay, so now it's not about the foul, but about whether it was a chance or not? Good to know considering 90% of penalties make no difference. Hell, a bunch of penalties this year they're running away from the goalkeeper.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Burnley 4 up trust them to come into form before we play them.

Sheff Utd are appalling, worst side the Prem has seen in years.

 

[sillytuna]

Doc on the left is insanity

Tbf he is playing there as third choice.

 

[Hawkguy]

We have to hope Burnley doesn’t take us seriously.

I mean, we will have a real midfield again.

 

[Ches78]

Get the big guy on. Probably for Hwang...

 

[Hawkguy]

Too long. I’ve seen you wrestle I’d argue you’re fitter than Doc.

That's bad news for us.

 

[Southdownswolf]

Burnley now 5 up

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Do we have a throw in coach?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Sheff Utd are appalling, worst side the Prem has seen in years.

True but we wouldn't have put 5 past them even with 10 men.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Let’s see a debutant.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

They haven't apologized for all of the ones against us.

I think I just give up trying to decide what isn't and is a penalty. Whatever the ref and VAR decide is the be all, end all anyway, so why debate it. I'll just go with it from now on. This sport is in shambles when it comes to penalties.

I wish all games were like the Man United game the other day. What a wild ride.

I’m not talking about apologies. GON has told Webb he doesn’t want them anymore. I’m talking about the weekly independent panel review, which is a formed from retired refs and officials from PGMOL and the EPL. It’s the official review of the prior weekend incidents. That review confirmed the first penalty against us Monday wasn’t one, and that Fulh should have been down to 10 for a second yellow for the penalty correctly given to us. That same panel has confirmed all the poor key decisions against us all season. The decisions which cost us at least 7 points so far.

Commentators are irritating Arsenal mouthpieces.

Watching on an American stream, the half time adverts featured a couple of Arsenal players. None of ours, of course. Shows where the money is. When you've spent your advertising budget on footballers, surely you want them to get screen time? To be in the big competitions? Perhaps some here aren't aware of the global presence of a few clubs and their star players.

 

[shaygriff]

Hwang is too slow everytime today.

 

[NothingButNeto]

Love to see some of the U21s get some time. Maybe they’ll actually push for a goal

 

[JaycogWolf]

Was a free hit today let’s remember Lemina and Gomes will be back fresh for Burnley

 

[Hawkguy]

You got it. The game is FOOTball.

Okay, then why's it a penalty when someone grabs a ****ing shirt?

 

[Aimless Balls]

From Ballon Dawson to Ballon D’oh!son.

 

[djmikeydickens]

Take off the front two and save them for Tuesday. Out classed today

 

[Willywolf]

Been a subdued, slow, ponderous performance. Not unexpected and Arsenal are levels above us

 

[shaygriff]

Double save by Bentley

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Hwang has had one of his poorest games for while today.

 

[Gedwolf]

Sheff Utd are appalling, worst side the Prem has seen in years.

Yeah, only won once this season

 

[Contrarian]

Okay, then why's it a penalty when someone grabs a ****ing shirt?

Seen them not given many times.

 

[wolfslair]

If you want me to write war a peace on why it wasn’t a pen, just ask…..

But i will paraphrase……..

Attacking player: had the advanced position that was gained as he had his own on kilman to get into position making it an even contest physically, he jumped too early and wasn’t even in the path of the cross and the hold was on the wrist not the elbow, shoulder or shirt the three places a hold will actually have a major impact on the jumper if they are running.

Wouldn’t have been a foul anywhere else on the pitch and similar contact/holding hadn’t been given, so precident had been set for the “clear and obvious error” *******s that get trotted out.

Also, an element of holding and bumping is allowed in the game and that incident with max was safely in that area of tolerance in a physical game.

 

[Willywolf]

Fine.

Bad ain’t it when we are hopeful of even earning a set piece.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Cuhnaaaaaaa!!!!!!

So another bunch of people's opinions, who read the rules how they read them.

The fact is, the rules are likely open way too much interpretation. That's the biggest problem. Can you even find the rules anywhere online? Every other sport has them, but I can never find an official Premier League rulebook, just a handbook which doesn't really go over rules.

CUNHA!

 

[Tring Wolf]

Get in! Game on.

Good pressure from Semedo and great finish Cunha.

 

[jrpb-3]

Okay, then why's it a penalty when someone grabs a ****ing shirt?

Shirt pulling, holding, particularly from corners is probably one of the most inconsistent areas for pens, often not given

 

[Mr Sizzle]

Great finish

 

[zedkiel60]

Get in!!!

 

[stever]

As 2- nils go this is a 5- nil.

Sorry??

 

[WKFWolf]

Semedo assist

 

[moseleyite]

Tasty last five minutes!

 

[shaygriff]

Cunha!!!

 

[Hawkguy]

Sarabia lost the ball, but he's still trying to create **** which so many of our players don't do.

I'm still so mad we didn't put him on to try to win against Fulham.

 

[jrpb-3]

Get in

 

[Mr Sizzle]

Now let’s put some intensity in..

 

[Finch3d]

Great goal!!

 

[Perton Wolf]

Game on, comeon
