Well I was assuming it's for SFP. Surely Can't be Dogso? He chested the ball straight to the keeper/white was right there?Its almost a cross between sfp and dogso. I'm not sure it meets the threshold for both entirely but certainly felt very 'red' and there were few complaints from arsenal players
It's always Xhaka. I wouldn't want him in my team. I don't care if he's any good at football. He's no good to his team in the changing room. Selfish egoMost comical red card of the season?
Got to love Xhaka for the entertainment he gives referees. Unsure how he is a professional tbh.
IrrelevantIt was an accident.
Even less relevantHalf a second from a great saving clearance.
Hoping it's not the fan in you saying this.Do I detect that some referees are prejudiced against certain players?
I think it's a little harsh to rule out DOGSO because he got kicked in the chest before he had to opportunity to control it! I do get that it's "likelihood of control" rather than "has he controlled it", but I think where the foul occurs first, you have to give the attacker the benefit of the doubt and assume that he would have probably controlled it if he'd been given the opportunity as long as it's in reach.I think it's DOGSO but a case where the 4 considerations are... erm ...considered - and one of the considerations is in doubt, control of the ball, but the other considerations are a tidal wave of DOGSO.
Well, maybe by not judging it SFP, Mr Oliver was thinking it was relevant. Does no-one else have a greater level of tolerance if (e.g.) a player slips then crashes into an opponent? (I speak as one who got carted on the line by a player who slipped...)Irrelevant

I think there is some level of bias in the game, for and against players.Well, maybe by not judging it SFP, Mr Oliver was thinking it was relevant.

Re the prejudice, it's referees on here! "Clown", "doesn't do himself any favours", "selfish ego"....
And EPL refs have been known to be prejudiced against certain players... (well, one ref and one player at least... )
