Pathetic refereeing.

[JUAN PABLO]

[TopDeck113]

Has to be a second yellow.

[paul_e]

Refs a fucking coward.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Merino should be off

[wolfman999]

That is a disgraceful referee decision

Coward.

[ChicagoLion]

What do you expect with this ref.

[Holte132]

whys he not off

Because he's an Arsenal player

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

got to weather this storm

[Smithy]

Can it go to VAR

Bookings don't, unless it's dangerous play.  Unfortunately.  Ref didn't see him holding the arm, is the only thin I can think.  It's a definitely booking otherwise.

[waynejames]

He ran away from the scene of the crime
Alan Smith is a knob

[Chip Butty 111]

Smith loving Merino not getting sent off there.

didn't even try to disguise it ...the Alvechurch Arsehole

[PeterWithesShin]

Garcia and Malen getting ready

Sancho and Buendia off

[Matt C]

Corners in the premier league generally are becoming a bit of a farce.

[Goldenballs]

Martinez seems to get smaller when he jumps at corners now, he used to be a beast.
