Mark Goldbridge reacts to the VAR findings for Declan Rice's red card for Arsenal and the late Bournemouth goal that should have stood against Newcastle. Get your comments in below.
I think the BIGGEST and most common sense approach to the Rice second yellow that no so called expert has ever discussed. is that if Rice doesn't move that ball he's getting absolutely clattered and colliding with Pedro anyway. Which is exactly why Pedro did it. He knew if he kicked it he was close enough to Rice to generate some sort of reaction
Something else to look at is the fact that Veltman actually rolls the ball into the back of Declan as he is walking away which then prompts Declan to touch it to the side of him. Shoddy officiating as usual
Mark, have you seen the transcript of the Spurs vs Arsenal game and what Mike Dean has said about yellow cards in the second half? "In a game like this you can't go too early for a second yellow... the threshold needs to be much higher.' Not what he was saying when he was defending the decision after the match.
Commentary on Milan v Liverpool game last night. Former ref Clattenburg says the ref "needs to give some soft fouls to Milan because the home fans are getting annoyed"... what sort of nonesense is that?! Give some fouls because it will make the fans like you more? Absolute jokers, these referees.
Same ref who admitted in a title decider he purposely didn’t send off Spurs players vs Chelsea because he didn’t want the Spurs players to blame him for losing the league. He’s always been corrupt.
Clattenberg who was always a "Homer" at old trafford so much so that Fergie "did him a favour" and supported him in his case against Chelsea, when it was against the rules for clubs to be talking directly to refs.
As soon as he said it, I knew there'd be an uproar about it. I have no idea why he said that. The referee had a good game in my opinion and the commentators kept going on about how inexperienced he was.
What if all the clubs came together and threatened to boycott a couple of game weeks? Probably the only hope if fans and supporters put pressure on club boards.

@@SharmVisn't it weird how it's whoever is competing closest with city who get screwed the most. And isn't it weird half the top refs got paid obscene amounts to go ref in Qatar and Saudi...
The 'left me no choice' is such a dumb argument as well.. I mean there would've been no outrage from anyone if the referee had just opted to warn both players. No Brighton fans after would've been up in arms about him not getting a red cause it was a complete non-event. Just the weekly previously McGinn and White smashed the ball at each other in the heat of the moment and ref just calmed them down and told them to get on with the game.
@@Dannyboyefc- you saw the main screen. Can you point is to a picture of what was in the black case on the floor in front of the VAR screen, you know the on the ground where the ref was looking?? Not seen a picture of what was in that case, maybe the back up screen that PGMOL said it was?
The fact the ball was rolling. If they keep on going on about the letter of the law then they should stick to all elements of the action not just the action at the end that they seem to have highlighted. Also if VAR are in the ref's ear about Rice's incident then why weren't they there for the Joao Pedro incident?
It's just too obvious now, it's kind of "in your face" corruption. When a City player kicks the ball away next game and doesn't receive a yellow, they'll just say "we listened to the fans and reviewed our decision, we'll only be handing these yellows out in extreme cases." Yellows for "kicking the ball away" were given to two players this season, one was Rice the other was Saliba. Look the PGMOL aren't stupid. Last season they noticed that not a single Arsenal player missed a game because of accomulation of 5 yellows. This season Refs are handing them yellows left, right and center. I think Timber is already on 3 yellows, which is insane.
The PGMOL in the pockets of the owners of City. Even the match fixtures are rigged. We got thursday night champions league football away, and then going away to city on Sunday. The whole game is rigged. City MUST win at all costs.
Newcastle fan (lived in Bournemouth for 25 years too) and I agree with you. You deserved to and should have won that game a few weeks ago. Is there a credible official overseeing the game anymore in the PL? We have to keep fighting for common sense.
@@antonyallen8025 the fact that not a single Newcastle player remotely protests against the goal proves you’re wrong 🤣 not even the keeper who would have had the best view out of anyone!

also i thought they "introduced" the new automated offside var similar to the euros and champions league. now that I have actually seen it, it's not even automated. It's just a brand new design of the old offside var 😂
Rice red card. Veltman had already played the ball by kicking it to Rice from behind, so … the ball was rolling and had already been played from point of tackle. Veltman not even looking at the ball when he kicked Rice, that’s violent conduct. Utter corruption.
Never mind the fact that Joao Pedro kicked the ball away in an 'ave it' fashion into the crowd IN THE SAME GAME... he didn't get a card! With a bit of luck, Howard Webb's had all his boosters 🤞
There was an experiment in which people were given easy questions and asked say the answer aloud, and if everyone else in the room (actors) said the wrong answer, the subject would usually also give the wrong answer. That sums up the VAR room to me.
We need an independent regulator for the PGMOL and VARce. A regulator that clubs can go to investigate when a refs are incompetent, biased, corrupt whatever. They need to be held accountable and punished if found to of incompetence, biases etc.
I agree with a lot of what you say. VAR is not fit for purpose. The Rice red card was soft but with VAR and referees the way they are, Rice shouldn’t have touched the ball and put himself in that position. He needs to be smarter because the referees don’t have a brain cell between them!!!
disagree with the ‘they want more yellow cards’ that’s not what the refs are saying. their saying the fans want the game to play with the ball in more than not
No, you are saying Webb is wrong for the rice sending off, but right for the Bournemouth hand ball. See the problem here? He pumped the ball in from his bicep, it was a blatant hand ball. It's been freeze framed and analysed on Newcastle fan channels. It was technically a handball by where it hit him on his arm. The fact it cannons into the net is egregious as well not just a deflection, directly into the net
Just watch the game again and count the number of times Brighton delayed a restart in that game. Nothing else needs to be discussed in relation to rice’s red.
Yes, I want to see yellow cards for delaying the game by running with/kicking the ball away. However, context is important and that’s why I would not give Rice the second yellow.
Webb has no defense for the refereeing inconsistency. He says the Rice incident was clear but also says the Pedro incident "of course" should have also been a card. He has no answer as to why it is called sometimes and why it isn't at other times. Why is it so difficult to book Pedro in that instance? Were they just ignoring it?
In a fair World Klopp would have 3 PLs (2019, 2020 and 2022) titles and Arteta should have 2 in a row (2023 and 2024) but we clearly dont live in that World
And it comes to light that the palace goal against leicester should have been offside now because VAR stopped at the wrong time and showed the wrong image
I keep saying that the pgmol are deciding the result of a game, that is match fixing, plain and simple. If you criticise the official, you get fined. The King demanded an independent body for football. They’re now arguing that the body must be independent of politics, it needs to be independent of the pgmol, the FA and the PL. City took the PL to Court, why haven’t they announced the result.
The Declan Rice red card was a terrible call. It should have been a warning. On the other hand Rice shouldn’t have put himself in a situation where the ref has to make the decision to send him off or not.
mark is right here , VAR , should be pick differently not from the corrupt and inconsistent referees , they will always cover up for each other , as long as they will be on the pitch this weekend next weekend they will be in VAR room , this error will always continue
2 years ago we complain we dont have clear definitions of handball. We now do and thats clear that the Bournemouth player made his body bigger with his arm to hit the ball.
When I saw the title i half expected to find out that they apologized to Man City for accusing them of violating ffp rules, and as an apology they awarded Man City 30 point.
Consistent in kicking the ball away unless it's Liverpool with Szoboszlai or Kevin de bruyne for man city, 85 minute kicked the ball out off of the field of play. Where are these refs from again? All northern regions? Surprise surprise.
What on earth is that spelling of Szoboszlai? Obviously shows your level of intelligence and how you are able to believe such ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Did you hear Clattenberg commentating in the Milan v Pool game openly say they give soft fouls to appease the crowd? "You have too balance it up because Milan will get upset", this was a double down from him saying something along the lines of "You have to give a couple of fouls to get the crowd back on side."
The other thing being that the ball is stationary before kicks it towards Rice, so arguably the kick has been taken and the ball is live when Rice knocks it away
Hopefully the more yellow cards will lead to players stopping they're gamesmanship.....rolling around holding their face to get the game stopped or falling over from a hand on the back after stopping suddenly. That's what's more irritating IMO
Howard Webb is right about people wanting more yellow cards, but for all the wrong reasons. As an Arsenal fan, I now want to see people get booked for kicking the ball away because it significantly hurt my team and cost us points. People want to see yellows after their team has received these mindless idiotic yellows and reds for consistency, but the desire isn't because it makes the game better at all.

Zloboslia 😂 Is it that hard to spell Szoboszlai
What on earth is that spelling of Szoboszlai? Obviously shows your level of intelligence and how you are able to believe such ridiculous conspiracy theories.
It's called predictive text, and the ref part was sarcasm, but English obviously too hard a language for you to comprehend
@@All-Outta-Bubblegumtbf it ain't easy to spell 😭🙏
VAR of each league should employ referees from other leagues. Change my mind.
Did you hear Clattenberg commentating in the Milan v Pool game openly say they give soft fouls to appease the crowd? "You have too balance it up because Milan will get upset", this was a double down from him saying something along the lines of "You have to give a couple of fouls to get the crowd back on side."
The other thing being that the ball is stationary before kicks it towards Rice, so arguably the kick has been taken and the ball is live when Rice knocks it away
Mark when it comes to the refs you should learn about Freemasonry
Hopefully the more yellow cards will lead to players stopping they're gamesmanship.....rolling around holding their face to get the game stopped or falling over from a hand on the back after stopping suddenly. That's what's more irritating IMO
Howard Webb is right about people wanting more yellow cards, but for all the wrong reasons. As an Arsenal fan, I now want to see people get booked for kicking the ball away because it significantly hurt my team and cost us points. People want to see yellows after their team has received these mindless idiotic yellows and reds for consistency, but the desire isn't because it makes the game better at all.
English var guys should make decisions in Spain , Italy , Germany , Scotland and vice versa
