Im sorry, but that is one of the most ridiculous statements ive heard on this forum.
referees do not make 50:50 decisions, they do not toss a coin, 50% correct, 50% incorrect!
they are actually looking at the incident, as are the linesmen, as is the 4th official. They use what they see to actively change the odds on getting a decision correct. Do you understand?
The ref was looking at the incident, as was the lino, and they made the wrong decision. A decision that cost chelsea the win and the 3 points.
A decision yesterday for arsenal, an incredibly wrong decision the ref was looking at, gifted arsenal 3 points.
Thanks to two wrong decisions arsenal are 5 points closer to chelsea than they should have been. Its a joke. What will happen to the refs? Nothing whatsoever.
