Hello Old Gooner here. Mr Scolari Is right to be miffed­ about Robin V P's Off-sided goal..How-ever he­ should vent his anger at the Linesman who gave the Ref­ the wrong message. But let's not be too Political­ here. Many a great goial has been given or denied by­ Linesman and Refereeing decisions. What goes round­ comes round. But my beloved Arsenal deserved that win­ against Chelsea. The 2nd half was the best football I­ have seen since that famous win against Man Utd. Does­ this give the Gunners a chance of the title? NO, why?­ because they should have have won the games they lost­ but I live in hope....As far as the Ronaldo "Hand­ Ball" Talk about verbal cheating, how dare he say­ he "Heard a whistle". It was clear it­ wasn't the Ref's..He could have headed the ball­ away from his face but chose to Handball it away, the­ guy is a Con Artist, and being voted European Player of­ the year, just takes the shine of his stature. Cheers­ Old Gooner.

i'm with u dear,Scolare u r right and yesterday i­ was so depressed of that result

I understand Scholari perfectly well, and he said what­ he said in a fair way - if this kind of comments would­ involve a charge, the FA's approach to criticism­ should be reconsidered.

So many of you are missing the point!! No one is asking­ for a re evaluation of the score or result. All that­ is asked is a simple appology for an obvious error!!­ Forgivness would surely follow.
.

As an Arsenal fan for over 60 years and seen some of­ the decisions both for and against Arsenal during that­ time and some of the lame excuses that have been made­ by some of the top managers, Scolari's comments­ were mild but at the same time he seems to think but­ not commenting that John Terry can do no wrong i.e. the­ two footed tackle on Bacary Sagna. And Sir Alex seems­ to think that Ronaldo can do what he likes and ignores­ the fact that a deliberate hand ball is a yellow card.­ amd I have not seen anywhere about the clapping by him­ in the referees face which could quite easily have been­ a second yellow and a red much earlier in the game.

I like Scolaris Approach, whats the problem with a­ simple sorry for a genuine mistake, people who­ appolagise for genuine errors are far more easily­ forgiven and respected as opposed to those who are­ clearly wrong and yet stand firm.. The result stands­ anyway. It takes a big man to say sorry!!

Clearly the­ FA do not necessarilly want correct decissions when­ goals are at steak, presumeably they have a financial­ interest in some of these dodgy decissions otherwise­ they would welcome technology in the same way Rugby­ has.

Scolari is quick to have a go at the officials but he­ forgets to thank them for keeping all his players on­ the pitch, Terry's tackle was horrific and should­ have been a straight red if that was joey barton would­ be headline news, seems that being England captain­ gives you immunity! And the other centre back sorry­ cant remember his name should have been given at least­ 2 yellows, Chelsea were lucky they didnt have the ref­ from the Manchester derby. Playing at home 1 shot on­ target lol, best team won!

Either way, arsenal won the game. Fair enough if­ Chelsea were the better team but they had no shots on­ target in the second half and i think that arsenal­ showed charachter and determination to win.

....Re: Respect, why can't the Linesmen be more­ effective and help the Ref sometimes? what is the role­ of the 4th "Official" meant to be anyway? ­ Why don't they help the ref with controversial or­ "clear as pea soup" decisions during a­ match??
Pompey Tone.

....No wonder the "Respect Refs" campaign is­ hardly working at all, when there's lots of­ inconsistency, like "Refs "can't" be­ investigated" but Managers can and do get fined,­ even for "small" trivial things e.g. Joe­ Kinnear's "Mickey Mouse Referee" comment­ agisnt a ref. Why don't Refs seem to show much­ "respect" for the Managers, with the really­ tough job they all have in the prem?, particularly­ those under demanding mega-rich Owners or Chairmen,­ like Abramovich or the Sheikh of Man City?
Noticably,­ Felipe Scolari has been "let off" as he's­ Chelski (big 4) Manager, though he does have some good­ points about Refs apparently being above­ reproach.........
Well played Arsenal, making things a­ bit interesting for once...........
Well played Everton­ for putting Judas' Tottenham down a bit

Well the referee made a mistake. That's true. But­ scolari can't say that they lost because of it. If­ they are better than Arsenal why was the scoreline 1-2­ not 4-1??

It is over, refree decission is final. Scolari need to­ go back to drawing bord -lost two games at home? mark­ you Abro has a lot to spent he want result not­ complains. Big kudos to Fabi for a team work.

I am a huge Arsenal fan but I have to hold my hands up­ and say that Big Fil was absolutely right. Maybe that­ is why he has escaped FA punishment. There has been a­ lot of talk about the "Respect Campaign" but­ it is impossible to respect poor refereeing. The Refs­ and Linesmen do not have easy jobs it is true but it­ has been plain for all to see this season that most of­ them fall well below the standard required and fully­ deserve almost all of the criticism that they receive.­ The question is could I or anyone else do better? The­ answer is probably not. Which is why it is long overdue­ that the football authorities start using the very­ technology that identifies the mistakes to assist Refs­ in getting it right. It works in other sports so why­ not football?

THE REFS ARE KILLING THE GAME i dont watch much­ now,football is so boring! simple rules can stop some­ nonsense, like video playback,changing the offside rule­ that if you are within a yard of an opponent you are­ not considered offside.this will allow for more goals­ and a better game.better defending etc.also NO TACKLES­ FROM THE BACK!THIS IS A MUST!

Scolari is right.The assistant referes are blind

I think people have to learn to take the rough with the­ smooth and Felipão knows this to be true, he wasn't­ born yesterday but I don't think he said anything­ that would justify a fine. Referee's do make­ mistakes and they are not above criticism but you­ can't have a situation where Managers and clubs are­ bullying them into submission either; somewhere along­ the line a balence has to be struck.

Scolari doesn't have a "right" to speak­ out because he hasn't done so for 3 months. I­ haven't attacked an old lady in over 40 years, but­ that doesn't mean i now have some credit stored.­ The main reason Scolari hasn't spoken out is, his­ PR people have told him to shut up, he sounds awful.

Scolari was right to speak out. He has not once­ complained about referee's in the 3 and half months­ with us, despite people being sent off. So he's­ speaks now they charge him... typical FA!

Do you think ehhhhhhh Abramovich can ehhhhhhh pay FA to­ ehhhhhh reverse score?

Why did ronaldo behave like that ?Being a star does not­ mean to do something foolish . Sorry idid not put my­ name iam black from Zambia
