Bayer Leverkusen v Arsenal - Halil Umut Meler (VAR: Rob Dieperin
k)

hi,
YC for andrich after 2 minutes which could (and maybe should)
have been a 2nd YC just 5 minutes later [emoji15] foul detection
very haphazard to say the least so far - a consistently
inconsistent first half from mr. meler [emoji37]
regards,
gnr

Sounds like the officiating across all the 1st legs so far has
been far from good.
Hopefully some better performances this evening in Paris and
Madrid

Meler had an excellent 85 mins imo.by far the best of first legs
so far.
But that’s an absolute joke of a penalty.had to be ofr. So poor

Even if there’s the tiniest bit of contact (the Arsenal player
actually kicks the Bayer players heel), you cannot be rewarding
dives like that. Pure cheating from the Arsenal player and
appalling from the VAR.

Agree regards the comment to the pen.
3 mins added?? Between the time the ref gave the pen and Kai
Havertz scored was 2 mins!

Good overall by Meler but that penalty will clearly be a talking
point. The angle from in front of the players shows slight
contact that meant VAR wasn't going to get involved but probably
would have been best to wave play on.

hi,
never a penalty, but i guess you could say that karma prevailed
as the bayer scorer should have been off for x2 YC in first 20
minutes [emoji16]
couldn't understand the zubimendi caution - on all replay
angles, he appeared to be the one impeded [emoji15]

gnr
