Ref Friend had some controversial decisions. The sending off was however correct. Spearing launched himself with both feet off the ground towards his opponent. This is always a foul and if you show your studs and fly in the air only a red card is the right card.

The ref was inconsistent however with handing out the cards. Senderoz should have been sent off with two yellow cards shortly after Spearing. He got away with it.

Suarez was his usual himself. Diving, falling over, pretending to been hit by a bullet whenever a Fulham player came near to him. I wonder if he sees himself on TV if he does feel embarrassed by his behaviour.

But this is about the ref and this was the ref who in the game between Liverpool and Wolves managed to give no wrong calls against Liverpool. So maybe he felt it necessary to correct himself in this game by handing more wrong calls against Liverpool this time?

Overall his score was just above the 70% line so not really a great score but we have seen worse also this season.

  1. I know a couple of Liverpool fans who were protesting Spearing’s red card… laughably uninformed as to the rules!

  2. Yeah Phil, if Dembele would be have been stuck with a leg in the grass we could have seen another Eduardo injury. Lucky for Dembele he was just loose from the ground.
    But a ref has to take the possible injury that such a tackle can cause in to his judgement when it comes to giving a red card or not.

  3. I was afraid that ref reviews ware fading about 10 days ago, but you keep rockin’. Finest part of the best Arsenal blog IMO,

  4. Don’t worry Strus but as this is a work of volunteers and we do have other things to do in live at occasions we sometimes run a bit behind. But better late than never is our motto and so we will bring you hem even if it means that we have some delay on some games.
