Agree, thought the ref had been told to keep the game as close as he could to hopefully allow Citeh to close the gap. That didn't work.Thought the ref was ok tbh, the Havertz decision was correct. Lad would have probably scored had he stayed on his feet.
And these are just the ones they can’t hide from. There’s a LOAD more3 penalties not given against Arsenal including the foul on Barry.![]()

Only saw extended highlights - we were SKY game of the day.
Seemed to me the ref and VAR let Bees get away with a lot of pushes and niggly challenges whereas we were pulled up for everything.
Should have had a penno when their CB grok blatantly pushed Barry before KDH scored.
Garner booking was a joke - yet Lewis Potter gets away with his challenges.
We won't be bullied though. Proper grit and determination in this team. Love to see it. Led by JOB - but everyone follows suit.
Really decent point. Onwards blueboys.

In the main he was quite good and tried to keep the game moving. Didn't think Garner deserved a booking though.I thought the ref had a really good game today, he let plenty of little stuff go fer both sides. I'd have him every week if we could on the couple of times ive seen him
I thought that too. Branthwaite was in a bit of a battle with Thiago when the ball was lumped up. Initially I thought it was a foul by Thiago, but imo just good centre forward play as he held Branthwaite in and created the space behind. Tarkowski reacted too slowly and I thought a player of his experience should have dealt with it.My only question is with their first goal. I haven't looked at it again in real detail, but it seemed to me that Thiago was dragging back Branthwaite when the ball dropped in behind him, preventing him from getting back at all.
All round though, I thought the ref was pretty good. Best we've had in few years I reckon.
