Blue for Kavanagh this evening… someone has been bribing the
PGMOL for a non yellow day! 😂

Think he’s let Arsenal get away with an awful lot of time
wasting.

Very quick on the whistle with the ball in that position, don't
normally see it in that circumstance

Two Bournemouth home games in a row that he's shown himself to
be completely inept at managing time wasting. Absolutely
appalling for an official at that level.

Not the cleanest performance from Kavanagh but given his
circumstance I will cut him a bit of slack today.
Semenyo maybe a little fortunate to remain on the field. If
anything Rice was too kind by staying on his feet. Unsure if
there was enough of a pull to warrant a foul but one that could
go either way.
Should’ve kept the game going at the end for the cross. You
don’t stop the game in the attacking phase like he did there.
That was a poor error in my opinion.

The time was up, he didn't blow whilst the ball was in the
penalty area rather waited until it was in a "safe" area. Where
do you draw the line, it could keep getting cleared out to the
left wing, he has to blow for full time at some point.

hi,
decent enough from CK, but at least he didn't fall for adli's
pathetic dive against gabriel's elbow in a - shall we say
'theatrical' - attempt to get a penalty [emoji23]

...and blew the whistle dead on the 6 minutes of added time....
Despite 2 more minutes of blatant time wasting by Arsenal
during stoppage time alone.
45 seconds to take a single corner.
That's 2 home games in a row I've sat and watched a significant
chunk of the game just waiting for the opposition to restart
play.
It really needs to stop.
It is time that officials really clamped down on time wasting.
We pay a lot of money to watch games live. The blatant time
wasting is extremely irritating and means we get less value for
money.

At all of the FA seminars, training videos and guidance that I
have viewed; I have never ever seen this or anything close to
this, as an example of a safe area
