The inconsistency of cards for delaying a restart is infuriating after our two red cards earlier this season. Leicester just blatantly doing it to Spurs (and player was on a yellow already) and just gets a talking to
I'm not sure what we've done to piss off the refs but it's just blatant at this point the bias
Oliver is the one that sent off Trossard for kicking the ball away against City earlier in the season when (a) it was literally 1/2 second after he blew the whistle (b) he was already in the act of clearing the ball and (c) City had a player down and wasnt going to restart quickly. In yesterday's game, Gomes blatantly kicked a ball away that we had a legit opportunity to restart quickly and Oliver did nothing.
And let's completely forget the fact that he (a) gave Gomes a yellow for a tackle that was worse than MLS's straight red and (b) refused to give Kovacic a 2nd yellow against us earlier in the season for a tackle that was also significantly worse than MLS's red.
I don't know if the FA would ultimately do anything but I think there is enough evidence of corruption/bias to have Oliver removed entirely from PGMOL.
