All these retrospective comments are useless, only make us more grieved.
Start by giving post match punishments and make these more harsh than what they would get during the matches. Give Bruno 6 matches ban for this.
Lol, Bruno should be punished more heavily for a refereeing error than he would be if he got sent off in game.
Havertz 6 games too?
was it carded during the game?
If not there should be a retrospective red-card/ban for this. I didn’t watch the game but the longer footage (which shows him miss a sliding challenge and then go back in for the elbow) is damning…
Considering the unbiased panel (rather than Arsenal fans£ decided this was 3-2 and Havert 5-0, and you want a 6 game ban for Bruno I’m sure you’ll also be arguing for a much longer ban for the much clearer red……
“It’s not nice”. Yep but how does that fit within the laws of the game….
"if you are not nice yellow card at most " pgmol
Well as he didn’t get anything it’s clearly between clean tackle and yellow card.
Now we know why they don’t like releasing the audio
Scrap the refs and get AI to do it
This is an unsophisticated operation. We should have a mini version of a traffic control center- multiple screens, technologies and angles to quickly decipher. It is easily possible. This is a few guys interpreting things in a rushed fashion. Game has to move on yes, so every angle needs to be ready to go instead of them marking possibilities and points of failure with multiple humans hurredly
can’t give red card to Newcastle player easily though, otherwise oil money will stop.
What an awful headline, written in the typical Daily Mail style. Howard Webb “admitting” something doesn’t mean anything; the man has been retired for years and is simply a TV pundit. It was a bad call and bad process, but I see no reason to promote the Daily Mail here
Hitting people from the back in any conext is totally illegal as far as I’m concerned. Especially when the first contact by the aggressor comes from some part of their body above the waist. In my experience I’ve had guys who were in a full sprint come up behind me while I was jogging in the box looking past the goal to where the ball is, and they throw up a forearm or elbow to decelerate themselves using my spine as a cushon. In these situations you get direct contusions from the initial blow, and sometimes whiplash and cervical injuries because you can’t see it coming. I think when any adult does this it is borderline assault, and should not be a part of the game at all.
Sometimes it’s best just to let go
What happened to them retrospectively banning players?
I’ll say all day the goal should have stood. This is a clear red card though and I have no idea how neither the ref nor VAR gave it.
We still talking about this game smh
(Bruno should have a got a red though no doubt about that)
Give him a red card after the fact. That will REALLY piss off their bosses from their second jobs.
First person who speaks sets the narrative and everyone else just agrees. There’s no way that everyone in that replay booth believed it not to be red.
They are very clearly lying in the audio, there’s no way that they don’t know it should’ve been a red, they made the conscious decision to not follow the rules of the sport, to the benefit of one team & the detriment of another.
The fact that this had to be leaked & wasn’t released on the VAR review show says it all, they were trying to hide it.
And yet the majority will still laugh at the idea of the PGMOL facilitating match fixing.
Completed the title for you:
Leaked VAR audio appears to reveal the reason Bruno Guimaraes was NOT sent off in Newcastle’s controversial win over Arsenal was due to VAR and professional referee Andrew Madley not knowing the rules.
and that is me being generous…
