58 FOUL WIG C Jean Beausejour Commits a Regular foul. Defender was running on the wrong side of Walcott and made contact with his right foot and clipped him. Tried to play the ball but didn’t got near the ball. And also a shove in the back could be seen 1

62 FREE KICK ARS C Thomas Vermaelen takes a direct free kick. 1
63 FOUL WIG C Franco Di Santo Commits a Regular foul. Ref finds a new way of dealing with dissent by putting the player on the side line with the 4th assistant. If I can understand the gestures made by the ref he heard Di Santo saying something against the assistant through the headset and gives him a time out. Unseen I must say. 1

89 THROW IN WIG C Maynor Figueroa concedes a throw in. 1
89 FOUL ARS C A shot touches the arm of Gibbs, replays don’t bring clarity so we agree with the non decision of the ref. Gibbs had his hands close to his chest and he didn’t stick his arms out 3
89 PENALTY ARS C No deliberate handball so no penalty 5
90 FOUL ARS C Another shot that hits an arm but again the arm is right in front of his body and the player holds his arm in front of his face. No movement to the ball. Correct non decision 3

  1. My recollection from this game is that for much of the first half Wigan players seemed to be allowed to kick hell out of our players, with Wilshere a particular target. In turn, Wilshere received a ridiculous yellow card for a perfectly legitimate tackle.

    I am not sure that a statistical analysis alone can show thes aspects of a referee’s performance

  2. John look at the bias decisions and see at the first half.
    8 wrong calls against Arsenal and in those are a lot of fouls on Wilshere.
    Ref was different after half time to be honest.

  3. I think your evaluations are particularly biased. The referee was blasted for giving the penalty to Arsenal and not the one to Wigan, but you seem to disagree with the totality of the media.

    As a result, your analysis is flawed and you should have an unbiased judge to undertake the review.

  5. Excellent review and thanks. I have seen Moss ref 20 times now and he has nearly always been above average and above average fairness. These are the qualities supporters prize (in their hearts). This review is consistent with that. He may not have the brilliance of Dean but from whom would you buy a used car if the seller knew you were an avid fan of Untold? Not on your Nelly Dean!

  6. Bob,
    If this review goes against what the media tells us how it should be….then this is a great review.

    If you think the rules are what the media tell you they are then you are in trouble I think.

    We are a bit of a referee family one could say (me and 2 sons) and the number of times we had to ROFLMAO (who remembers this…) when we heart match commentators talk about the rules and heard the pundits from MOTD or other shows “explain” the rules cannot be counted on all the fingers of our hands.

    I have noticed in all these years that the rules are mostly explained according to the team that has been involved in shows like MOTD. And interpreted by crocodiles from the days that football was played with different rules and by people who never have had a whistle in their mouth and who have never reffed a game.

  7. I think it is Stuart. I remember Maloney using his hand to control a ball just outside the penalty area.

  9. Mahesh, the wonderful world of the software I think. I will have to ask this because in the review it is only mentioned once

  10. Walter, so do you also see it twice? It is once with From:ARS and then From:WIG in those columns. The Reviewer comment seems to be exactly same!

  11. Walter, could you please explain the comments about the Fanco Di Santo incident at 63′? I watched the match, and I seem to remember him committing a legitimate foul before being sent to the sidelines. But why was he sent to the sidelines? The explanation in the review (a new punishment for dissent) is just silly! No provision for it in the laws of the game. The commentators seemed to think Di Santo had been wearing an earring. Do the replays indicate this is the case?
