Have you lot ever not blamed the ref for a loss? Your not allowed to kick the ball away and Rice was correctly carded
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you think the red card is right here?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes and I have no axe to grind or bias, if Declan had simply left the ball alone no card mate? Do I hate those kinda calls? Again yes but he's smart enough to have known not to do it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The ball wasn't dead and it's coming up behind him, that's not kicking it away

You're normally a fair guy but don't come onto another teams match thread to chat shiiit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enoughbut I dont honestly believe I am here, Declan just gives it a wee touch, If my opinion counted I would have just let it go as a ref but this ref didn't, I also felt the ref had a poot match overall but thats another matter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will never see another yellow for a wee touch, let alone a second yellow

Arsenal are reffed different
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All rice did was push the ball clear of his path - the ref must have been watching VERY closely - even to see it

He should have backed off it was a dumb thing to do

I thought it was a yellow against rice, lol 😂
How did the ref see that?

Cos he wanted to I guess. I'm not even sure Rice was trying to kick it away, ball just rolls into him and he taps it back. No way of knowing Veltman would be trying to take the free kick cos his back is to him and the ball is rolling and would have had to be retaken anyway.

It should have been a red to the Brighton player. Absolute shocking call.

I don't know how Chris and Sheriff are blaming Rice for that!

You will NEVER see any other team get a 2nd yellow given for such a minor incident - if that was city - the Brighton player would have been given red for that kick on rice

Maybe the Arsenal manager should protect his players better when they already have a YELLOW card, especially when it happens in the first half? Rice is an aggressive player and could have been subbed out at half-time? Arsenal could have easily WON the game with eleven players in the second half!

Preach it, said virtually the same words to my old man on numerous occasions on Saturday.

We are officiated by a different rulebook. A very sick and twisted one too.
