Michael Oliver has issued more yellow cards (111) and red cards (4) to Arsenal than any other team he has officiated in his career. Meanwhile despite taking charge of Man City for the same amount of time (64 games), he has never issued them a single red card. Oliver has also issued Arsenal the fewest penalties (5) out of any other top 6 side in the Premier League despite taking charge of Arsenal the 2nd most times, only topped by Liverpool.


The ball was bundled into the net at the far post and the visiting supporters went wild. While the celebrations continued, I was sitting 136 miles away, in a dark corner of a TV studio in west London, fearing the worst. As the video assistant referee (VAR), I had spotted three potential offences in the build-up. As I worked through the checks, it felt like the walls were closing in, the darkness was intensifying and my mouth was getting drier while my heartbeat rose. In 20 years as a referee on the pitch, I never felt the kind of pressure that goes with being a VAR. Eventually, more than three minutes after the goal had been scored, I confirmed that it could stand. It had felt like a waste of everyone’s time, that a joyous and spontaneous moment had been ruined by a nerd desperate to find cause to wreak misery. Nothing could be further from the truth. Referees are people too, and feel the pain inflicted by a video review system that is simply not fit for purpose.
