On field ref bottled it now. They don't want to 'ruin' this top of the table clash with a red card. Bunch of bottlers.

If that was a United player, Oliver would've intervened.

What a disgustingly incompetent and biased ref Oliver is.

Commentator just said a younger, more inexperienced referee might have sent Kovacic off. But surely that's a 2nd yellow? How do they end up praising Michael Oliver for bottling that decision?

Kova has lost the plot. What is he even doing?!

It's a clear red. From behind, studs up and miles from the ball. Theres a real lack of arguments you can make for kovacic here, and as always, i cant see players of many other teams getting away with that.
its not a foul in rugby, apparently.

The first one was borderline red, and that's the yellowest yellow card tackle you'll ever see. :lol:

How the feck is he still on the pitch?

Arsenal should demand a replay if they lose

How is that not a second yellow? Oliver completely bottled it.
I’d love to know the stats of refs being overruled by VAR after they’ve made a decision. Oliver has to be low down that list because he never does, he constantly leaves it up to VAR to protect himself

Watching football would sicken you after watching a rugby match. Christ, the sport is wall to wall wimps.
Not a fan of big men fighting and only using holding an egg-shaped ball to make it look like they possess actual skill.
