the title race?..yes...I think that might be over

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This is actually one of the most shocking referring decisions in a long time. Almost as shocking as Arsenal's performance.

He probably wrote Walcott down in his notebook as well...

Just as bad a start to a match as it was against Liverpool. I think Gibbs will win an appeal against the red card, but can the FA then pass the punishment onto the one who should have been shown the red card or will Chamberlain get away with it?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Maybe a good thing that the others don't have a good tan, then ref would have an issue on every foul :D

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arsenal need to make sure this doesn't get worse and then the story will the ref so we can avoid the crisis stories.

Interesting. Gibbs red card will be repealed but the ref saw it so I am guess The Ox will escape a ban too.....

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Good question. Can they punish Ox..if ref seen the incident, but selected wrong man

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Can't believe this has happened twice in one season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I don't believe it, the BBC scrolling web page commentary initially said Ox handled, then Gibbs was sent off. It has now edited it to read that Gibbs committed the handball.:confused:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The BBC is in league with the Refs. :erm:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This makes Chelsea favourites for title

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arsenal will escape because the ref screwed up. Arsenals lawyers if they decide to be an 'Arse' will legally screw The FA.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

They'll just appeal the red card is all. Not much else they can do.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arsenal are all over the place...this could be car crash material...or...multiple car crashes...:D

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

An appeal with reasons as to why theres an appeal. The FA will be in a sticky situation. Via their handbook they will have no other option than to instead punish the ref. Unless they trigger their complicated 'second review of incidents' rule. One that probably suits them down to the ground so Ox may well get a ban coming his way.
