       Arsenal vs Aston Villa- Rob Jones and Darren England

       I can’t for the life of me work out how that’s been given as a
       goal. Watkins clearly has his arms round Ramsdale stopping him
       getting to the ball.

       For me, both players are grabbing each other and so thought goal
       was correctly given. However, didn't think Robert Jones had the
       best of games with his foul detection being quite inconsistent
       and thought Arsenal should have had a pen in the 1st half when
       Mings pulled Saka the floor.

       No issues with the Villa goal, both players have arms on each
       other. Ramsdale just happens to be the wrong side from his point
       of view and isn’t strong enough to recover. Shouldn’t
       automatically be a foul just because another players dares get
       in the way of a keeper!
       No penalty on Saka for me either, goes over far too easily and
       theatrically.

       The attacker is just standing his ground and there isn’t masses
       of holding or pulling, so I’m fine with that being allowed by
       VAR. Goalkeeper needs to be more commanding there.
       For his overall performance I’d rate it firmly average. Failed
       to get a grip on some persistent fouling by the away side
       (Kamara in particular with 3 fouls in first half , including one
       cynical trip) and thought foul detection was inconsistent at
       times. The Saka incident for me is a foul but the theatrical
       fall probably counted against him.
       He still does look very new at this level , but maybe it’s no
       surprise when he’s been asked to hold the boards more than being
       out in the middle.

       From watching highlights:
       - early Saka penalty appeal is a tight one, on the one hand you
       could never controvert a penalty call due to Mings clear
       holding, on the other, having a 'deeper' reading of the
       situation, is obvious that the attacker's only intention was to
       draw some kind of foul from the defender by stoping as he did...
       I think I'd have played on but penalty is surely expected call
       by fans?
       - such a clear foul on Ramsdale for the 1-1 goal!(!!) :D, what
       on earth is fair about Kamara's actions, standing in front of
       the goalkeeper, arms wrapped around him, not challenging for the
       ball, you have to be an idiot not to realise this was
       pre-planned (unfair!) tactic by Villa, another direct corner
       kick goal; okay, I can understand arguing for no intervention
       because not c&o for PGMOL, but to not think this is a clear foul
       is comical...
       As a general remark: Jones is a very poor referee (for
       best-league-in-the-world level anyway) IMO. Very flat-footed
       mover, as so many (too) muscular refs are, too poor decisions,
       not even much leadership charisma. Another who wouldn't reach
       2nd/3rd division in most European countries :).
       (let's wait for GG comment about how Jones is actually
       excellent... :P).

       Why does Kamara need to challenge for the ball as the ball goes
       into the net in front of him? When you talk about challenging
       for the ball let's get shot of defenders "shepherding the ball
       out of play" when they have no intention of playing or
       challenging for the ball and in fact stop the attacking player
       from challenging for the ball.

       No, actually a WB comment maintaining that an opinion repeated
       is still only an opinion and not a received truth.

       It’s clearly pre-planned from Villa, but that doesn’t make it a
       foul! Kamara had arms on Ramsdale, Ramsdale had arms on Kamara.
       Both players are looking at the ball. It’s not Kamara’s
       responsibility to move out of the way just because Ramsdale
       wants to get around. If Arsenal have a defender marking Kamara,
       this goal doesn’t happen, but they didn’t.
       I guess you’re of the opinion that any touch on a goal keeper
       should be a foul, whereas I disagree. Would you think it was a
       foul if it was Kamara vs Gabriel for example?
       IMO Jones is not a bad referee, but does look slow due to his
       build (not saying he is slow). He also seems to have an
       unhelpful knack of finding himself in the way a lot.

       I'm an arsenal fan, and I think that their goal isn't a foul as
       he just stands there, yes there's a bit of arms but that's from
       both parties, Ramsdale just has to be stronger.

       Pretty much the exact same foul was given against Barnes on
       Mendy at the weekend, which is frustrating in terms of
       inconsistency.
