Abou’s Left Leg

Arsenal FC fan since I can remember (25+ years). The poetry of football vs. the downward spiral of pub punditry.

We were all Martin that day. Looking forward to Ruud coming to the Grove as a manager.

I don’t know about you, but it seems every single United fan on here is so sour of not contending for anything at the moment that they snap at the smallest things. So in honour of that, here is a flashback to winning the FA cup against United with Vieira’s last kick for Arsenal.

Nobody is denying Brighton have been up for it against us this year. But Saliba literally touches the ball, mate. Maybe you’ve been hurt before but pretty sure you’d be pissed if that happened to your team if you were in the hunt for something (Europe, top 4, whatever) and that decision cost you.

What the hell are you on about? Saliba touches the ball BEFORE touching Pedro. Following your logic, tackles would be a thing of the past. Change of trajectory of the ball following Saliba’s challenge definitely enough for it to be deemed a good tackle had it been on the floor.

If it had been ‘on the ground’, Saliba’s touch of the ball (which changes the ball’s trajectory enough) would’ve made it a ‘good challenge’. On top of which, clash-of-heads are usually never given as penalties. What if Saliba had also gone to ground there? That’s the point.

VAR’s check was done in 3s. They obviously didn’t didn’t check all the angles and missed the fact Saliba touched the ball. If you still think it’s a penalty then, I wonder what you’re doing chatting about football at all, dear Michael.
