Yeah. Just sack people, that'll sort it.

It’s why I found Arteta’s response pretty distasteful. It was a ropey decision, but I find it ridiculous that he’s been canned for it. Should footballers get fired if they score an own goal? Or how about a manager who makes a bad substitution? People do make errors.

Refs think they are the most important people on the planet and no one should ever question them or their decisions and as most favour the big 6 ,stuff him

The game will be really good if there aren’t any left.

Lee Mason is absymal though. He was on VAR when he told the ref to disallow the Newcastle goal against Palace when a player was shoved into the goalie. He was dropped for a round of matches after that, so I guess the Arsenal game was the final straw.

I think that’s a bit of a sweeping generalisation and ignores the fact that the culture towards officiating in football is disgraceful. It’s also actively dangerous in terms of how it filters down to grassroots level. That Mason decision was clearly terrible, but there’s plenty of occasions where the referee’s decision is right and they’ll still get absolutely slaughtered by a manager or fans.

So, even with VAR all the refs are shit, useless wankers and deserve to be sacked. Progress eh?

Quite.

So who's getting sacked for not noticing the two Arse players offside and in the 'keeper's line of vision for their third goal?

Or doesn't it matter if you're a rich club?

The different is clubs like the Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchesters create a fuss about it,we and other little clubs sit back and take it meekly,so this week lets  create a fuss

This seems to have developed a bit of momentum over the last few days - any comments from PGMOL to explain the inconsistency?
