Please leave a comment!

A game of football where both teams tried to play the ball. In the first half hardly any fouls to be seen. Now I must say that ref Moss did all he could to try to keep the game flowing. He is not the ref to blow many fouls when two players challenge the ball and use their body. That is his right if he does it in an equal way for both teams. I think he managed to do that.

When there are not many fouls each mistake we find counts almost double. But still he managed a very high score in this game, only missing one small foul in this game in fact. A foul from an Arsenal player and therefore the bias index is in favour of Arsenal.

In a game where hardly any fouls were made he still gave two yellow cards and both were within the instructions. One was a blatant foul from Arteta late on and the yellow card against De Guzman was because he stopped a possible dangerous attack with Cazorla making himself ready to take a shot from just outside the penalty area. It was as if the ref drew the line and the players respected the line.

A fair game of football refereed in a fair way by the ref. When you hardly remember who the ref is in a game, you usually have done a good game as a ref. I think this was the case in this game.

  1. The big omission here is the incident in the 73rd minute when Nathan Dyer was sandwiched and lost possession, leading to the Arsenal attack which resulted in the crucial first goal. The referee choose not to penalise this tackle, thus making the biggest call of the game. As a spectator at the Liberty I thought it was a foul, and this view was echoed by many on the Planet Swans forum. Probably it was a call that could have gone either way, and as such is just the sort of decision this slot should be dissecting. The author nullified the value of the exercise by missing it.

  2. Dai,
    thanks for your comment.
    There was some consultation about that incident. Therefore our reviewer wrote that Moss let some things go (from both teams) that could be given as a foul but he decided to let them go. Some could not be verified completely as we didn’t have replays of such of those incidents and then are not mentioned.

    The challenge from Arteta on Dyer was such one. As it lead to a goal I can understand Swansea fans being a bit unhappy about it.
    Arteta did play the ball between the legs of Dyer and was making contact with the back of Dyer’s body.
    There were others strong body to body challenges that the ref let go in this game. Borderline decisions one could say. I have reviewed myself a few games from Moss and I know he is a ref who will not give a foul for each and every push or body to body contact.

    As our ref reviewer agreed with the decision on the field we didn’t mention the incident in the review.

    So we did see it, our reviewer agreed with the decision, and then we don’t mention it in a separate line in the review. This has been a bit of a house rule since we started these reviews a few years ago.

    Mind you in this review our reviewer found that the few mistakes the ref made favoured Arsenal more than Swansea. A rarity!

  3. if Dean was in charge the numbers would have been a whole different even with not that many fouls in a game, im sure he would have found a way to book us. Great job by Moss
