Despite the fact that the authority that is responsible for evaluating games in English professional association football upheld the judgement on Sunday, it is believed that Arsenal will appeal the dismissal. This comes at a time when Oliver’s decision has been subjected to severe criticism.
In the region of the Wolves box, Lewis-Skelly committed a foul on Matt Doherty, which led to Doherty being taken out of the game.
Following the “checking and confirmation” of the ruling by Darren England, the video assistant referee (VAR) came to the conclusion that Lewis-Skelly had engaged in “serious foul play.”
PGMOL published a statement in reaction to the online abuse that was thrown at Michael Oliver. The message followed the following format: “We are appalled by the threats and abuse directed at Michael Oliver following the conclusion of the Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Arsenal fixture.”
Over the course of the last twenty-four hours, Michael and his family have been the target of terrible comments. There should be no official who is exposed to any form of harassment, let alone the obscenities that have been hurled at them.
The problem has been brought to the attention of the authorities, and they have initiated a great deal of investigation into it. The whole community, including Michael and everyone else who has been affected, has our unwavering support, and we are unwavering in our determination to take action against this unethical behaviour.
In spite of this, this is not the first time in recent years that a match official has been had to deal with threats. In fact, this is not even the first time that this has happened. In the future, we will continue to provide support for each and every query.
According to Redknapp, referees are quite likely to make mistakes in their work.
“I have had chats with a few pros and former referees, and throughout those conversations, they have all agreed that it was a tackle that caused problems. It was speculated that the player had been issued a red card, and it was also likely that he had twisted his ankle, which would have caused him to be out for a few weeks. They were under the notion that he was not only blocking the counterattack but also putting an enemy in a dangerous situation himself.
To explain, he was successful in getting him to the ankle, which indicates that the work is not very challenging. Alright, let’s get it straight. The flip side of the coin is that he does not in any way deserve to behave in that manner. Although it is probable that he would be the first to agree that he might have bought himself a little bit of time, it is important to note that officials are just as prone to making mistakes as football players are. The reality of life is like that.
On the other hand, if we are getting closer to the point where every mistake would be deemed a kind of corruption, then we are in a very vulnerable position. Regarding the video assistant referee (VAR), there is still a great deal of controversy.
During the Soccer Saturday broadcast, Sky Sports pundit Tim Sherwood expressed his disbelief by saying, “I cannot believe Michael Oliver has sent Lewis-Skelly off there.”
Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, stated to Sky Sports after the game, “It is that clear, and I will leave it to you guys.” This was spoken after the game had concluded. As a result of my anger, I am fully enraged. Nevertheless, I will make the decision to leave it up to you because it is so obvious that I do not feel that my views will be of any benefit to you in any way.
PGMOL has the opinion that the challenge is extremely late, the point of contact is high, and video evidence supports the conclusion that this challenge is extremely late. This is the view that PGMOL has taken into consideration about the incident.
During the second half of Arsenal’s win over Wolves, Joao Gomes, a midfielder for Wolves, was only shown a yellow card for a high and late tackle on Jurrien Timber. This occurred during the second part of the season.
The fact that Gomes was issued a red card does not change the fact that he was removed from the game for two bookings, which means that he will only be absent for one of the matches between the two teams.
