And you can categorically state he wasn’t catching Oliveira can you? No, you can’t as you don’t know the speed or anything else to do with how it would pan out other than with your yellow and green crystal balls! All those of you who are unhappy with the standard of refereeing have no doubt enrolled on the next FA Refs course with Norfolk FA? It’s easy to sit and criticise but how many people actually realise what it is like to referee? And also to do it impartially too? As I said, who would have been happy with our defender being sent off if the roles were reversed? I’m sure at some point this season we will have the same incident with one of our defenders involved, so no doubt you will all be happy if that said defender gets sent off as according to all the keyboard refs that’s what should happen!

The actual law regarding red cards is as follows: Red cards are used to send a player off the field, and can be issued for the following offenses: Serious foul play Violent conduct Spitting at an opponent or any other person Denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (the goalkeeper being an exception) Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offense punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick Using offensive or abusive language and/or gestures Receiving a second caution (yellow card) in the same match So there you have it an OBVIOUS goal scoring chance is the statement, so sorry folks but Mr Madley got the colour of card correct as it wasn’t an obvious goalscoring chance due to where it was and the covering defender coming across

No he didn’t have a clear run at goal, watch the incident again, he was 30 yards from goal with a defender coming across to cover so can you categorically state he would have had a goalscoring chance? If he was in the penalty area it is different but he wasn’t so I can fully understand why it wasn’t a red card having been a ref myself. It is very easy to get emotive as a fan when the decision doesn’t go your way but these guys have a split second to see it and being miked up will have been advised by his assistants also. If you flip the decision on it’s head, Klose brings down Walcott in the same position, with Pinto coming across to cover, and the ref sends off Klose would you be happy? I doubt it. The problem with posts like these are that a lot of fans don’t actually know the laws of the game, they think they do but in fact they don’t, and in fact a lot of the laws and sub laws are open to individual interpretation instead of actually being clear cut.

I have just posed the question asking why Elneny wasn’t sent off on a FB Refs Forum, the answer I got will upset many people on here but is the actual correct decision in that it wasn’t a clear goalscoring chance as the other defender was coming across to cover Elneny too. I know it’s not what people want to hear but it is correct in law, however, I do agree that if it had been at the other end, Klose on Walcott for example, I’m sure it would have been red. We may not like it but Madley actually applied the law correctly and no doubt got a pat on the back for it from his assessor

Bundesliga for me this week with Leverkusen winning the Cologne Derby For City game, I will go for Oliveira to score any time

I hope anyone who witnessed it and knows who it was shops the person! I don’t know how anybody can defend these actions at all

He doesn’t ref in the Prem yet! His brother does but he doesn’t

I can guarantee you this guy will have got a glowing assessment, as he is earmarked as an up and coming future Prem ref like his brother. Assessments are the reason I quit refereeing as them guys are just as bad as the refs having been refs themselves. Until the FA stops using dinosaurs and start monitoring these guys properly sadly nothing will change. Too many modern refs want to make the game about themselves rather than like the old days when you hardly noticed refs

Sorry folks, nothing came up, I’m extremely disappointed with that 😢

The ref is Andy Madley, he’s supposed to be an upcoming ref, he is the brother of Bobby Madley! He will be Wengers best mate after tonight!

Here’s hoping at least one of them can put something in the kitty! Enjoy your night out mate!

Thanks for all the suggestions people, it’s been very difficult but I feel the best is to have 5 x £2 bets Nutty. They are as follows: Vrancic to score anytime Over 2 goals, over 3 cards, over 10 corners More than 2.5 goals Vrancic to score 1st Arsenal to win Norwich to win on penalties Hope these selections can boost the pot even if it’s just by a few quid. I hope these are ok Nigel? All those fans going I hope you have a fantastic night and enjoy a great game! OTBC!

This isn’t easy as there are some good shouts here, still time for other PUPs to get some suggestions in please!

Snoop Dogg is not a fan! He just wears the top for the local team at a gig he does in that town or City! Sophie Ellis Bextor is however a fan, heard her say it in an interview a few years ago

Stewart White is a scummer too! Bet he won’t be smiling tonight when they talk about the football!

Team I would go with: McGovern Martin Franke Klose Husband Phillips Reed Murphy Vrancic Mourgas Abrahams Mixture of youth and experience in there that would give it a go

It is a huge honour Nutty, I will try not to let you down and put some money in the pot. Get the suggestions in folks please!

I will go for us to lead at hot but arsenal to win, 16/1 with BET 365! I am around Tuesday as I am off for 2 weeks so if you can’t get anybody else I’d be happy to have a go as I’ve never done before

Isn’t 9-0 a record for the Prem League concedes by those from Suffolk! It would seem 9 is the magic number 😂😂

I think Suffolk Samaritans May be busy tonight judging by what the inbreds are saying on TWTD 😂😂😂

We got forward far quicker second half and it paid off thankfully!

Perfect all round! OTBC!

A very professional job done by the boys! Well played!

Poor support yet again for Jerome! We are so slow at getting the ball forward yet again

Dead right in his analysis that we don’t get enough players in the box! Been saying it myself all season
