What a mess from the ref. Definitely showed a yellow initially so unless Koscelny mouthed off to either official, I can't see why he'd change it to a red. Soft penalty or not the stat that Lewandowski has 38 goals in 39 games for club and country this season is astonishing

C'mon Homer, you know the rules!

Completely unnecessary from Koscielny and once he's brought him down the ref has no choice except the red.

No intelligence from footballers any more.

So why did he show yellow?

Maybe thought he was going away from goal but corrected by the extra official?

Either way we complain enough when refs refuse to consult other officials so can't feel hard done by when they do.

Whether the double jeopardy is too harsh is one for the rule makers.

Great strike. Arsenal could get another thumping here
Very insightful Homer. If you said that an hour ago it would have meant something but not when already losing 1-3 with 10 men lol. On a positive note, Arsenal won both 1st halves 2-1 on aggregateOn a less positive not we lost the second halves 9 nil. :confused:
