Myles Lewis-Skelly Red Card: Howard Webb believes Arsenal Defender Sending in Wolves was wrong, but defended judge Michael Oliver | Football news

Howard Webb says that the red card of Myles Lewis -skelly against Wolves was a wrong decision – but defended Judge Michael Oliver and his officials saying that the call was not “terrible”.

Lewis-Skelly sent Oliver controversial in the first half of Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over the wolves to reject Matt Doherty, a decision that was later abolished after Arsenal appeal, to which a fine of £ 65,000 was awarded for his field of reaction to a red card.

In the last episode of Mic’d up Match officers, where an audio judge was published, Var Darren England did not show the desire to send Oliver to Var Monitor, without contributing to the assistant’s assistant in decision -making.

The head of PGMOL’s webb believes that England was supposed to intervene to notice the “view” from Lewis -skelly who needed to keep him on the field -despite the VAR assistant who had sent him in the sound.

“From the beginning, we would rather have a yellow card in this situation,” Webb said in the last episode of Mic’d up Match officers.

“Clearly, the judge felt the action of Myles Lewis -skelly on the day, he saw the player moving toward the opponent without any ability or intention to play the ball – with the intention of stopping the opponent. And the judge sees the raised foot, establish a tall contact and the opponent fell .

“The referee thought it was a serious game, Var checked the recordings to see if the call was obviously and obviously wrong and felt he was not – seeing that the contact was quite high on the leg.

“But we know that for a serious false game we need excessive force or brutality and what we see here is that high contact [just] Looking and coming down from his feet.

“So, for this reason, everyone has made the same conclusion in the game that this was missing serious games – because of that view of the view. Since Studs doesn’t really go right in the leg, they look down earlier by descending on their feet.”

Webb: I understand Oliver’s thinking – it’s not a terrible call

The decision to send Lewis Skelly sparked a great discussion in the game. Among the wide criticism, Sky Sports’ Micah Richards said it was “the worst decision I’ve ever seen in the history of the football league.”

Webb believes that there were some criteria in Lewis-Skelly Challenge to send it, but overall evidence pointed to a yellow card.

“There are considerations that could support a red map, but there are a number of others who say it’s not right there, so we would rather be a yellow card in balance,” Webb said.

“Var did not want to take the situation again, they were aware of the judging call, unless obvious and obviously wrong. They felt that it was not at that level and decided to leave it as a red card on the field.

“I heard that it was described as a really terrible official decision. Not! I understand why the judge took it a day as a serious action for an offense.

“We have to be careful about slowing things down and freezing things. We talked about not doing it, it can distort the reality. We need to look at it at full speed, it’s a look [studs] And it goes down pretty fast.

“But it is a understandable decision on the field. Yes, we think Var should have been involved, but at the same time I can understand why this did not happen in the moment.

“We listen to the game, we return to officials to try to ensure that we are in accordance with the expectations of the game and judge these things.”

Webb: Oliver abuse ‘completely unacceptable’

In the days after the incident, Judge Oliver received the abuse of social media that PGMOL described as “awful”.

The sinking body contacted the police and a series of investigations were launched. Oliver immediately returned to judgment, assuming the duty of Ipswich VS Southampton and Everton against Liverpool in February.

“Really disappointing,” Webb said about the abuse aimed at officials after the Lewis-Skelly call.

“We know that criticism comes to us, it’s part of the job. Everyone on the ground is somewhat criticized, and managers do it. But there is a line, right?

“No one should be subject to threats, their families should not be subject to threats – whether they are officials or players. We have seen that all participants are exposed to such things.

“So, really disappointing in this regard. People will not always want to agree with the decision – yes, they can criticize where they think it is justified – but not to the level we saw in this situation where it led to the judge’s threat, officers in to this game and their families.
