As you will know, if you have followed our coverage of PGMO, the high secretive organisation that makes the Masons look at a come-all-ye at the local pub, the refereeing control body does not talk to outsiders.

A couple of days back, police in Spain say arrested Ángel María Villar Llona, the president of Spain’s football association, Real Federación Española de Fútbol, on suspicion of embezzling funds.
It is an interesting move because Villar Llona is also a senior vice-president at Fifa and Uefa those two gloriously clean […]

After a long period in which I had been unable to write for several reasons I hope to be back in action for Untold Arsenal.
And no better subject to start with as….the VAR.
During the confederations cup the Video Assistant Referee or VAR has been used in each match. And I […]

The web site Footstats has recently produced some very interesting league tables of its own, and through their kind permission, I am able to bring you one or two of these, starting with the Premier League Table of fouls.
You may remember (if you were paying attention) that in the early days […]

“The Gunners should have been applauded as CHAMPIONS if officials had done their jobs properly.”
To confirm from the off, that is not a quote from Untold, but from a national UK newspaper – the Sun. OK not my favourite paper, but actually one that I would have said a year […]

What can football learn from rugby? *
By Blacksheep
I watched the second half of the England/Wales rugby match on Saturday and apart from wondering at the Welsh comeback and the high attrition rate in terms of injury, I was mainly struck by the marked difference in officiating.
This weekend we have again seen some […]

ARSENAL vs. LIVERPOOL COMPETITION: English Premier League MATCH NO. 3 DATE: 24th August 2015 VENUE: Emirates Stadium (London, England)
MATCH OFFICIALS:
REFEREE: Michael Oliver 1st LINESMAN: Simon Bennett 2nd LINESMAN: John Brooks 4th OFFICIAL: Neil Swarbrick
First Half
Fouls, Advantages, Cards, and Penalties
Time Foul by Foul For Description & Decision […]
Ref in this match was Anthony Taylor
A first 30 minutes that were rather un-Taylor. As he made no mistakes. The only mistake was from an assistant who judged a Liverpool player offside but Koscielny was still behind him.
The first error from Taylor was then again a typical one. Sakho came in leading […]
Ref for this match was Mike Jones
The first foul only happened after 12 minutes but the Ameobi kicked Alexis in the chest. Not with hit studs but a high foot making contact should have been punished with a yellow card. Ref Jones let it go and as a result Cabella only a minute […]
Ref for this match was Andre Marinner
Well this was turning out one of the most boring referee reviews ever in the first half of this match.
Marinner missed a foul from Coquelin early in the match and should have given a foul to Everton…and that was it for errors in the first half.
[…]
Ref in this match was Chris Foy for 59 minutes and Anthony Taylor for the rest.
Because of this interruption we have two ref reviews in one article and I will also add the final score of the two refs and call this the PGMO score for this match.
CHRIS FOY
What a […]
Ref for this match was Mark Clattenburg
A bad start for the assistant when he ruled Özil offside when he was clearly not. Özil scored but we don’t know really if this was because of the CP defender stopping after the whistle or not. So will not take the goal decision as a wrong […]
By Walter Broeckx
The other day I read an article about Mike Riley where he talked about the mix up that has happened once again when ref Neil Swarbrick send off the wrong guy in the match Manchester City – West Bromwich Albion.
One could say sending off the wrong player is something that only […]
Ref for this match was Kevin Friend
The match started with a few decisions going against Arsenal early on. Coquelin was called back for offside when he was clearly onside. Arsenal should have got a corner but instead QPR got a free kick. Zamora then put an arm in the face of Gibbs and […]
Ref for this match was Mike Jones
Mr. Jones certainly wasn’t at his best in this match. After two early fouls not much happened till Upson pulled Alexis down with a holding offence around the neck when he could have gone one on one with the last defender in the middle of the goal […]
In case you have not come across this series before, we have reviewed hundreds of matches over the past few years – both matches involving Arsenal and those not. At the end of the seasons we’ve also compared the way referees have handled different teams.
Ref for this match was Martin Atkinson

A number of Gooners have asked about how referees get promoted to the top of their profession so I am humbly submitting my experience and will happily accept any corrections our readers can bring to my attention. I will be speaking in general for both genders and North America officials but worldwide for […]
In the last article we looked at how Mourinho is playing games with the media, the FA and PGMO. All this – and indeed the whole threat of Type III match fixing (in which club owners seek to persuade refs to hinder the progress of other clubs, rather than fix the results of their […]

The core issue with being an official is one’s integrity. IF the referee or his/her assistants lack the moral courage and integrity, even in making a difficult but self-evident call on the field, even ONCE, then they are certainly very susceptible to being ” influenced” by those who make it their profession […]

In our match against Leicester we had an incident where Alexis tried to make a pass and a Leicester defender handled the ball and the ref gave no penalty. Let us have a closer look on this particular incident with the laws of the game in hand, the instructions towards referees and […]
