@Record_Sport 😂😂😂. Dont think we'll be affording him somehow

🆕Kasper Hogh to Celtic 'very likely' amid transfer revival as Hearts enter battle for Bodo goal machine dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football…

@koshamoton @oisinmusic And it just so happens this is the only weekend they're applied. Suuuuure. 😂😂😂😂😂. Twat

@wevewonitall @oisinmusic I am sure those are shared with stakeholders before every season. What I find absolutely insane is you thinking the guy was just making up something live on air that is easily verifiable by concerned people 🤣🤣🤣

Felt soft at the time. Looking back he grabbed his arm. So it’s just a foul and that’s that. No idea why shay given kept calling it “controversial“ on match of the day, other than being a bad tv analyst theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@et_warrior @oisinmusic @barneyronay Well he couldn't head it as he was being rugby tackled before the foul on the keeper. It's quite simple if you think about it

@oisinmusic @barneyronay @wevewonitall If the ball was about to hit Mavraponos head, and rice was holding him, that would be the foul given. Foul on Raya would be ignored. It’s quite simple of you think about it.

@SkySportsNews Yeah, I remember him saying similar when decisions went against him...

"Today I have realised how big and difficult a referee's job is" Mikel Arteta on the importance of the refereeing decision in Arsenal's win over West Ham United 🔴

@ScotlandSky 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🗣️ "It's a coming together more than a foul..." Ref Watch's Dermot Gallagher agrees with the decision NOT to award Hearts a penalty in their 1-1 draw with Motherwell ⤵️

@koshamoton @oisinmusic Feel free to show us these guidelines

@wevewonitall @oisinmusic @barneyronay There are laws and there are guidelines to applying them. And this is not just with regard to refereeing in football.

@Prell88 @themichaelowen They didn't happen at once. West ham players were fouled first

It was definitely a foul on Raya in yesterday’s game. However, weren’t there fouls elsewhere in the same passage? It’s becoming virtually impossible to officiate a game at corners. The authorities are going to need to consider bringing in a rule to stop this farce that has taken the shine off this season.

@adrianmschmidt @barneyronay Yep. Clearly just backing his ex colleague. Referees are there to apply the laws, not make them up. There is no hierarchy in the laws

@barneyronay @wevewonitall That's not in the laws. He's just making it up to justify shitty refereeing.

@koshamoton @oisinmusic @barneyronay Referees apply the laws, they dont make them up. There is no hierarchy in the laws which is why it's complete nonsense. He was defending his ex colleagues

@oisinmusic @barneyronay @wevewonitall So who do you think decides? Obviously those are the PGMOL guidelines to referees, whether you like them or not is a different matter.

@barneyronay Let's get that ref to show it in the laws then. Hint, he can't

@wevewonitall Watch the ref on match of the day explain that there is a hierarchy of fouls depending on where the ball is. I had no idea. Clearly you don’t either. It’s quite useful.

@gtj1247 A lot of words to prove you're a thick cunt

Just catching up Frankie Kent handball.. How's Greg Aitken VAR not calling McLean over? Shot going over Kent's shoulder & certain goal, or deflecting off Kent on target, so Kent lifts hand & saves it. Hearts conceded 0 penalties... now allowed 11 goalies on the pitch - WOW!

@henrywinter It highlights the huge decline of football in general that a team like that can win a league

Will Arsenal be worthy champions if they get over the line? There is plenty of criticism of Arsenal's football, the set-piece arts/dark arts, the antics of Arteta in the technical area, and triumphalism of some fans such as the one with that presumptuous “champions” shirt. Throw in the usual club tribalism and that season-defining VAR decision (correct call but officials inconsistent in punishing grappling this season) and there’s plenty of antipathy towards Arsenal. But it is a truism universally acknowledged that the team that finish top first are worthy champions. It’s a marathon of 38 sprints and Arsenal have demonstrated the required ability, character and stamina. They have had their mentality questioned all season (and before). From Raya to Rice, Gabriel to Gyokeres, all of the squad have shown resilience. Battlers, not bottlers. Rice in particular embodies their will to win. It’s good to see a club keeping faith in a talented manager during the near-misses; keeping financial balance (top with fourth largest wage bill); and building a squad so that hugely capable players can come off the bench and make a big difference as Odegaard did against West Ham. And isn’t it more refreshing to see a range of champions (if they do hold on)? Five different clubs have been champions since Arsenal in 2004. It’s also important to see a club committed to their academy, creating a pathway for Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman and others, and giving them a chance to shine; it’s good for sustainability, culture and connection with fans. It’s encouraging to see a club working with fans to improve atmosphere (tifos, coach greets).  Off-field, too. All clubs have vital community departments; Arsenal in the Community is widely acknowledged as the oldest and one of the most impactful at home and abroad with around 100 full-time and part-time staff. There is much good about Arsenal. If they do hold on, Arsenal will be worthy champions on and off the pitch. #AFC

@OfficialDinsey Well done for highlighting it's a stonewaller 👏👏👏👏

Wonder if he will receive a retrospective ban for simulation like Slattery? Indisputable evidence he’s tried to cheat, don’t often praise our officials but well played here. Should have been booked though.

@adrianjclarke One of the worst takes I've seen

People see what they want to see but Raya was clearly fouled as he was about to catch the ball. All the other stuff going on in the box is usual corner kick nonsense. Raya is prevented from catching the cross. That trumps everything. There's no controversy. Great VAR call.

@Rory_Talks_Ball Which one?

There’s actual real people that don’t think this is a foul 🤣

@RobDorsettSky Wrong. Foul on mavropanos is clearly first

So much to unpick in that. The very much-maligned VAR had the call of the century to make - and, I think, got it right. Despite that being horrifically hard on #whufc. Pablo fouled Raya, before Rice fouled Mavrapanos, and goal correctly ruled out for me. #afc

@asmir1 Clear penalty before that though

It’s a clear foul on the goalkeeper #WesthamvsArsenal #premierleague

@CitizenSuburbia @donhutch4 Wrong

@donhutch4 Straw clutching. I am not an Arsenal fan but Mavropanos is behind Raya and the foul on Raya is first. Todibo also pulls Raya & he would have caught the ball.

No foul from Declan Rice with his rugby tackle then 👍🏼

@LukeEdwardsTele Foul on Mavropanos first

It was a foul on Raya and it stopped him getting the ball. Has his arms held down throughout. It is a clear and obvious error by the officials. Really tough on West Ham (and Man City) but I don’t think it’s controversial #arsenal
