Inadvertently or not, he committed an intentional foul with his studs. An intentional foul to stop a counter is a yellow, but if you - inadvertently or not - commit an intentional foul with your studs, it's a red. I'd love to hear why you think otherwise.
It is decisions like this that makes a genuine case for Arsenal fans to feel targeted. That's never a red card in million years. The Gomez tackle on Timber is more of a red card. VAR is useless.
I don't subscribe to the "refs hate Arsenal" narrative, there is no agenda against us. But it's undeniable at this point that Michael Oliver referees us differently to other teams.
@@akari2378 The evidence does not support you. Oliver is clearly conducting a nasty campaign against Arsenal players for some reason. There should be a formal investigation.
@ They are two different points. - I dont think there's a PGMOL org agenda against us. - I do think Michael Oliver is biased against us. Both can be true at the same time.
I really like how y’all standing with us at this moment! If Arsenal won’t the league I prefer Liverpool to do it!. 4 red cards that haven’t been given before and after consistently this season. 8 red card from the same official. 3 in this ground includes this and Martinelli double yellow for the same phrase of the game which haven’t being seen again. It’s too much for me to take it in.
FUN FACT: Michael Oliver has given Arsenal more red cards than any other ref in the league since he was first hired. In the same time frame he has never sent off a Manchester City player despite refereeing them 50 times.
He actually said that he did not send Kovacic off against Arsenal, because he did not want to impact game? Yet he sent Trossard off in repeat fixture. The Guy is 100% a CHEAT
What was also ridiculous was that MLS gets a straight red but Gomes gets a second yellow for the same tackle so only a 1 game suspension. There’s no consistency with theses referees it’s 2 games in a row this clown has given us a read
Yes, it's the agenda. It's the ball, it's the weather. Whatever it is, it's not your players committing inadvertent serious foul play by committing intentional fouls with inadvertent use of studs. Apparently, to arsenal fans, you can commit intentional fouls with studs to stop counter attacks and only receive yellows. Otherwise, it's an agenda.
Why are you guys acting like Michael is not a criminal element?? He's been doing this for so long without no severe punishment, and that's why he keeps doing it.
How? He committed an intentional foul (base yellow card) but made contact with his studs (automatic serious foul play, red card). How is this the wrong decision?
Someone has to call this out Micheal Oliver is biased to and the only consistency in his decisions is that he makes these calls agaisnt Arsenal. Same guy for the Martinelli 2 yellows card in the same phase of play
And same guy who looked the other way after Kovacic's horrible leg breaking tackle against Odegaard and again looked the other way when the same Kovacic committed another reckless tackle Rice in the same game.
VAR is not designed to override the referee's decision. They can only call the attention of the on-field referee to an incident, but the on-field referee makes the final decision.
Michael Oliver needs to be fired he ia such a bad referee with too many scandalous decisions. He never gave even a foul for Doku planting studs on McA's chest last season, but today he gives a red for the barest of touches... Disgraceful
*Michael Oliver, what do you expect. VAR confirmed the red card saying it was a studs challenge, then the wolves player does a crazy studs challenge and gets 2nd yellow? VAR confirmed they were happy with the second yellow. How? I thought studs meant red card?* 🎪🤡
I am sure Craig and Steve will come and defend the referee in the evening show as usual and explain how arsenal fans are paranoid and bla bla bla. Well, we have the right to push the narative of an agenda against arsenal. 4th red card of the season, all of them are highly debatable. How is the wolves card a second yellow and not a direct red card but a less dangerous challenge by Lewis Skelly is a red card. Asking for CONSISTENCY is not being paranoid.
We have all met Michael Oliver many times in our lives. The type of guy who was likely bullied as a kid and now takes every opportunity to draw attention to himself. That guy shouldn't be within a hundred miles of a pitch, let alone on one.
Michael Oliver is NOT biased against Arsenal, he's just an awful ref. I was at the game, he gave Arsenal corners and free kicks that never were, players were kicking the ball away and he never once reprimanded them, he had a terrible game. When he pulled out the red card I honestly thought he accidentally pulled out the wrong card and that it would be rescinded... Nope, VAR backed their mate like they always do... I'm a Wolves fan by the way.
He is definitely against Arsenal. Remember last season Martinelli received two yellow cards in a continuous play. He brew the whistle once and pulled out two yellow cards and a red. Never has that happened before and never see the same thing after ever. This season Trossard's second yellow cards was also a never seen again invention of Oliver. Have you seen him doing anything like that against Man City? Never. Zero red cards so far for City game. And City's owner people paid him 200K to ref a game in Qatar. Clear conflict of interest. This is a corrupt ref.
The real question is, why is Oliver allowed to ref Arsenal matches at all anymore? He's obviously just going to continue to try to throw matches until that happens
Not a "really bad decision" it's patterned, it's corruption. City ownership/board members gave Michael Oliver (and others like Chris Kavanagh) £20,000 each for a single match in the UAE. Hes clearly got a quid pro quo arrangement going on.
Watch the replay with multiple angles... red is the right call. Studs to shin area, sliding down to ankle. VAR even gave official clarification during game.
How many times does the VAR operator oppose a referees judgement with fouls ? Answer NEVER How many times do Premier League referees get it wrong ? Many times ! Conclusion VAR operators are not inpendant judges they simply back thier mate !
The same ref on a worse tackle by Kovacic on an Arsenal player he didn’t send him off because he didn’t wanna ruin the game but when it’s arsenal’s turn not to ruin the game we don’t get it
What are you talking about you say if arsenal win or lose this game the title is over. But in the same sentence say city are looking better and newcastle are both in there own title race. When both teams would still have been behind us even if we lost.
Not an Arsenal fan but have to agree that was one of the worst decisions ever. If the red card is not overturned then football is finished. And there needs to be an investigation into Michael Olivers performance. Think he needs a two week ban for that decision
Oily Oiliver even knows he made a garbage decision as he gave Arsenal a bunch of cheap free kicks in the 2nd half. Such trash refereeing. He should just become a UAE league ref full-time.
Fed up of these biased, incompetent, arrogant referees. MLS is out for 3 games so harsh really isn't the word for that decision. Try corrupt! Only trolls would defend that red card.
Why Michael Oliver is still allowed to ref arsenal games is beyond belief. Dude is beyond shocking.. I genuinely think he has on an agenda and I'm not the type to believe in any type of conspiracies smh
Arteta should't be a stubborn person he should tell the board that he needs a striker wingers a strong midfielder also a proper defender like the one Sporting of Pochargal
Fifa must call for sacking of Oliver, assistant ref and entire VAR assistants. Otherwise fifa will be deemed by the rest of 8 billion human beings that they accept corruption and match fixing schemes
Arsenal fan here, the foul is kind of a double yellow in one play. 1 yellow for the stamp, 1 yellow for cynical foul, with another wolves player right behind who was hot on the break, who would have received the ball. I don’t know this red sets a whole new precedent and won’t be rescinded. It’s more than a yellow, less than a red, therefore must be a red. “Blue-card” territory 😂😂 I don’t know
If you allow this decision to stand, if this is the standard being pushed and established, then we are going to see a lot of red cards during the rest of the season 😔
Why must Arsenal always get Micheal Oliver? Why could he not ref Liverpool or Man City v Chelsea?? What's the chances he refs our game against city next weekend?
At this point I’m not surprised this ref is a fkn joke literally looks for any reason to book us to the extreme a yellow yes but a red the dude was just outside his own box
It's Michael Oliver...... what do people expect.
As long as the corrupt Howard Webb is in charge, no one will touch Oliver.
I’m inclined to agree
He wasnt the last man, he woulda been caught by the defense, stupid ah decision.
Inadvertently or not, he committed an intentional foul with his studs. An intentional foul to stop a counter is a yellow, but if you - inadvertently or not - commit an intentional foul with your studs, it's a red.
I'd love to hear why you think otherwise.
I saw Michael Oliver before the game and knew there would be controversy
It is decisions like this that makes a genuine case for Arsenal fans to feel targeted. That's never a red card in million years. The Gomez tackle on Timber is more of a red card. VAR is useless.
I don't subscribe to the "refs hate Arsenal" narrative, there is no agenda against us. But it's undeniable at this point that Michael Oliver referees us differently to other teams.

Both can be true at the same time.
Michael Oliver reds given out to teams he's reffed more than 50 games: Arsenal 8 Everton 5 City 0 Liverpool 1
Im a Liverpool fan,that was a disgrace from michael oliver, how's he got that job by the way
And the var didn't even reverse it... Disgusting
You’ve suffered yourselves with his decisions 🤬
same bloke who didnt give the Doku chest kick vs McAllister. Amazing how he's still reffing at this level
I really like how y’all standing with us at this moment! If Arsenal won’t the league I prefer Liverpool to do it!.

@@BernardSamson-hf6fc He wouldn't give Kova a second yellow on a clear red.
Michael Oliver should be investigated!
What was also ridiculous was that MLS gets a straight red but Gomes gets a second yellow for the same tackle so only a 1 game suspension. There’s no consistency with theses referees it’s 2 games in a row this clown has given us a read
I wasn’t the same tackle, Gomes” one was worse
Gomes tackle was much worse
MLS tackle wasn’t dangerous, the Gomez one was
Arsenal ought to have the last laugh when the appeal is upheld .
*Gomes tackle was MUCH worse*
Just logical common sense will tell you that’s never a red card
common sense aint so common
Even with 12 against 10 for much of the match, Arsenal still managed to win. :)
Why is the refereeing so shocking in the prem? Michael Oliver so clearly really hates Arsenal.
The Pgmol is doing everything they can to try and stop us from winning this Premier League. We are coming for the title. Champions performance again.

Michael Oliver is average newcastle fans 🤡
Why protect the cowards at VAR?
VAR is generally hopeless, but that red was so shocking I was positive they would overturn it. They didn't even call him over to have another look!!!
VAR is not designed to override the referee's decision.
They can only call the attention of the on-field referee to an incident, but the on-field referee makes the final decision.
@LuE87 I'm talking about VAR influence on match officiating, not on the error.
Michael Oliver needs to be fired he ia such a bad referee with too many scandalous decisions. He never gave even a foul for Doku planting studs on McA's chest last season, but today he gives a red for the barest of touches... Disgraceful
He should meet Jose Mourinho more often
Yet Gomes only a yellow for the same challenge.
Even more forceful and aggressive for sure! Worse yet, he passed on giving Gomes a second yellow 20 minutes earlier for obviously delaying a restart.
@ yep! Absolutely right.
Then everyone complains about us when we complain about bent referees
Worse challenge
Gomes challenge was 10 times worse and definitely deserving of a straight red card
As long as we bagged 3points ...A win is a win . proud of the boys
Very proud as the unjust decision was soul destroying.
*Michael Oliver, what do you expect. VAR confirmed the red card saying it was a studs challenge, then the wolves player does a crazy studs challenge and gets 2nd yellow? VAR confirmed they were happy with the second yellow. How? I thought studs meant red card?*

Michael Oliver will have his karma
Hopefully Arsenal will appeal this red card-terrible decision. 3 game suspension is unreasonable for this.
Michael Oliver man city 12th player perfect timing. A red card just before we play them.
At least we have calafiori
We have enough players in that position the cover in his absence
Oliver red card for Martinelli, two yellows in the same play, has never happened since.
Gunners 3 points against all odds🫶🏾
its because we play city next. Oil ref
problem is nobody doing anything about this needs to be investigated long time ago he is going to keep doing it unless someone step up do something
Oliver and pgmol rewriting the rule book whenever they referee Arsenal. Only problem is the same rules don’t apply to other teams.
If that is a red card then Rodri wouldn't have a football career because he does that every single game.
Micheal oliver no change (examples: wolve vs arsenal, man city vs arsenal) it's same make decision
We have all met Michael Oliver many times in our lives. The type of guy who was likely bullied as a kid and now takes every opportunity to draw attention to himself. That guy shouldn't be within a hundred miles of a pitch, let alone on one.
I am so glad that Doherty is still alive after that deemed dangerous challenge by MLS. Shambolic refereeing and VAR
This happened only to Arsenal.
Other than Sky everyone called it a bad decision.

He is absolutely biased against Arsenal and I wouldn't be surprised if reports were filed against him.
I confirm today that their has to be a conspiracy against arsenal...They are the only team That I've seen with the worst decisions go against them....
Investigate Oliver!!!
The real question is, why is Oliver allowed to ref Arsenal matches at all anymore?
He's obviously just going to continue to try to throw matches until that happens
Won’t be surprised Shaka and his “colleagues” agree it’s a red
Steve nichol reckons it was 100% a red 😂😂😂 you couldn’t make it up
The EPL has some of the worst referees I`ve ever seen. Why do they always want to be the center of attraction?
We are always getting shaft by these horrible refs. People think we like complaining when we always get grossly treated. Glad we won though.
We seen a lot more than that and Premier League doesn’t come out
Var can't over turn the golden boy olivers desicion..Howard Webb would of been livid
They are just as culpable as Oliver for this horrific decision. If nothing else, just say, dude, you might want to have another look at this one.
Howard Webb will be protecting him soon enough 😂
Not a "really bad decision" it's patterned, it's corruption. City ownership/board members gave Michael Oliver (and others like Chris Kavanagh) £20,000 each for a single match in the UAE. Hes clearly got a quid pro quo arrangement going on.
Why is it difficult for VAR to overturn the refs decision? That’s their fucking job mate.
He won't live long if this happened in the South American region..
Or in Africa lol
Watch the replay with multiple angles... red is the right call. Studs to shin area, sliding down to ankle. VAR even gave official clarification during game.
How do you come in from the side yet hit with the studs?!? You're a joke.
Anyone without interest knows it’s not a red. Michael wants the friendly paycheck at UAE this summer as well.
It's Michael O Liverpool!!!!!
Absolutely diabolical call by Oliver on MLS, but what do we even expect from him when he officiates an Arsenal game.
Difficult for VAR to overturn? How? What’s its use then?
I love how every one turns Italian when they are pronouncing Calafiori's name
Michael Oliver should be investigated and never allowed to officiate an Arsenal game.
He has a trend of just booking Arsenal player for breathing.
Calling out the officials 👏🏻 thank you 👏🏻
Just watch how fast Oliver was to show the red card!! The man is a disgrace!
I was shocked
Michael Oliver with all his antics and bad refereeing has never given man city a red card
How many times does the VAR operator oppose a referees judgement with fouls ?
Answer NEVER
How many times do Premier League referees get it wrong ?
Many times !
Conclusion VAR operators are not inpendant judges they simply back thier mate !
We're used of Michael Oliver, always when i see him in Arsenal game. Its a loss.
Either a negligence or corruption by the ref, but hes done it so many times vs Arsenal, always the same bad decisions vs Arsenal
The same ref on a worse tackle by Kovacic on an Arsenal player he didn’t send him off because he didn’t wanna ruin the game but when it’s arsenal’s turn not to ruin the game we don’t get it
Something is up, guys! He is making bad decisions on purpose.
Football won today! If Arsenal did not win today it would have been a great injustice.
Michael Oliver made a very poor decision. VAR review was worse. This needs to be investigated.
Cmon…! This is getting ridiculous. That was nowhere near a red! Something smells bad.
Why is the title race determined after every game when there are 3 months to go
What are you talking about you say if arsenal win or lose this game the title is over. But in the same sentence say city are looking better and newcastle are both in there own title race. When both teams would still have been behind us even if we lost.

Oliver sends off MLS and gives Wolves a 2 man advantage......and they still lost.
if MLS tackle was red why is gomes lunges a second yellow?

The EFL's worst ref penalises the team that the PGMOL love to penalise. What a joke.
This ref needs to be investigated wow am not surprised by this
The background has messi autographs 😂
Still think there's no conspiracy against Arsenal from within the PGMOL?
Pgmol bring out that statement then gomes yellow card just completely contradicted what they said now they look really incompetent
michael oliver..please make all video collage where he didn give anything for similar foul.
Was the right decision - refs just need to be consistent in ALWAYS red carding these deliberate calculating fouls that spoil the game.
Why must Arsenal always get Micheal Oliver? Why could he not ref Liverpool or Man City v Chelsea?? What's the chances he refs our game against city next weekend?
The Best English Ref folks
What's he talking about, city are miles off it

It's called corruption.
