The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled the referee and the VAR were correct to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal.
Arsenal fans are one of the largest percentages on either this sub or r/soccer. I can’t remember which. But they weren’t thinking entirely rationally after the match
There is no objective way to send Bruno off. The rules include words like ‘negligible’ and ‘excessive’, leaving it up to the officials’ discretion. They decided it wasn’t a red, therefore by the letter of the law, it wasn’t a red.
If you have any solutions for how to better codify the spirit of the game I’ve made a post here which is getting annoyingly little responses. I think people just want to moan.
Huh majority of arsenal fans I’ve seen say that Havertz was an orange and they’d be fine with him getting sent off for it.
I don’t understand how the goal stands with the shove though. And yes the other stuff is ‘unclear’ but that’s because of the shitty tech and angles they’re using. Like it’s not that hard to have a line down the line
Yeah and they were right. You literally get worse tackles than havertz in every single game. I’ve seen worse tackles not even given as yellows against arsenal this season alone.
He was flying through the air like a nutter and his leading legs catch Longstaff halfway up his planted leg, then follows through full force with his trailing leg. You’d be happy seeing a team taking it in turns to tactically do that to Saka and only end up with a few yellows? Come off it
The majority on this sub was arguing that havertz challenge was fine while brunos elbow wasn’t.
Which is absurd. Just to clarify.

Imo the Havertz challenge could, and probably should have been a red. I said in real time, “he’s gone for that”
However there is just enough subjectivity about it that I can see why it might not be given, even if I disagree.
The Bruno forearm however was objectively violent conduct and with VAR it’s the kind of thing that should never be going unpunished.

The return at the emirates is going to be a slobberknocker to quote JR
By Gawd King! 🤣
Settle down Mary. Think of your heart.
The downvotes for you shows you’re right lol

Saying that he catches longstaffs standing leg is as misleading as you want. He didn’t catch his leg, he clipped with the slightest clip possible.
No use having a balanced discussion on this sub, it’s all Arsenal fans
