Michael Oliver's recent officiating in Arsenal games has prompted widespread criticism and calls for him to be removed from handling their matches. High-profile incidents, particularly a controversial red card decision against Lewis-Skelly, have eroded trust in Oliver's decisions. Pundits universally condemned the ruling after the game, urging the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) to acknowledge the error promptly. The situation reflects a broader concern regarding refereeing standards in football, where Oliver's perceived failures need addressing without resorting to abuse, as emphasized in statements condemning any mistreatment of officials.
I CRIED when I talked to Arsene Wenger which former Arsenal star says leaving the club was a BIG mistake?
Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports on Sunday that he could probably count on one hand the amount of mistakes Oliver has made in his career.
It took one replay to show it was never a red card, even when viewing the incident through the worst possible angle of the foul.
No room for abuse, but we can't ignore Michael Oliver's failings.
