Head Professional Gatch Match Limited (PGMOL) Howard Webb admitted that Judge Michael Oliver was wrong to have sent Myles Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal’s 1-0 over Wolverhampton Wandirers, but insisted that the initial call is not as bad as many claimed.
Lewis-Skelly was discharged late in the first half after it was thought that his attempt to stop counter-attack was dangerously high. Arsenal detachment was apoplectic with anger – Their protests earned them a huge fine – While fans and experts broke the decision equally.
The red card is eventually canceled after ArsenalApel, and while Webb admitted that the sending was incorrect, he defended Oliver’s initial verdict.
“We would prefer a yellow card in this situation from the beginning,” Webb said Match the Mic’d Up officials.
“It is clear that the judge felt the action of Myles Lewis -skelly on the day … He saw a 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 and the raised foot establishes high contact and The opponent fell.
“The referee thought it was a serious light game, Var checked the recordings to see if the call was obviously and obviously wrong and felt that she was not – seeing that the contact was quite high on the leg. But we know that for that serious game, we need an exaggerated 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.”
Referee: “I’m going to a red card, my friend. The red card on the ankle. The red card, a serious game.”
Var: “Just checking a red card for a serious game. Okay, it’s for a serious game, not Dogso (denying an obvious opportunity to score goals). Okay, for me they are contact at the top of my foot.”
Assistant Var: “I think he catches him on the ankle side first. Looks at the side of the ankle down on the foot. So the first influence is more than the Achilles area.”
Var: “So the first influence is on Achilles, on the lower leg.”
Assistant Var: “Without a chance to play the ball.”
Var: “So it is high above the ankle, and then it comes back down. Okay, just bring me a number.”
Assistant Var: “It’s number 49, Lewis-Skelly.”
Var: “Michael, confirming the decision on the field of Red Card for a serious game for Myles Lewis-Skelly. Visiting, 49. Check the end.”
“There are considerations that could support the red card, but there are a number of others who say it is not right there, so we would rather be in balance if this is a yellow card,” Webb continued.
“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.”
