Former Premier League star Clattenburg believes there were many mistakes in referee Atwell's penalty against Manchester City on New Year's Day. And blowing penalties against referees to support Arsenal is something Clattenburg often does.
He analysed Atwell's three decisions in this game.
Erdegaard's penalty requirements
In Monday's edition of the Daily Mail, Clattenburg said: "Atwell was right not to award a penalty. ”
"Edgar saw Ederson running away."
Erdgo flew up, and instead of using his arms to prevent him from falling, he threw himself into the air. It's a signal for players seeking penalties. ”
"It didn't escape the eyes of Atwell and VAR officer Gillette, who noticed that the ball changed direction due to Ederson's interference."
Manchester City's penalty
The referee did not award a penalty in the first place, but VAR told him he had made a glaring mistake. Everyone at the Emirates Stadium knew what would happen when Artwell started walking toward the monitors on the sidelines. ”
'He overturned the original decision and awarded Manchester City a penalty.
"Atwell should stick to his original judgment."
"Seat B dribbled past Xhaka, who did stretch his legs."
"But Xhaka closed his legs and B fell forward to earn a penalty."
'It was a cheap penalty and it's no wonder Arsenal fans and players were furious when they saw the big screen replays.
Gabriel's red card
Clattenburg said: "I have no objection to the first yellow card – at first it was thought to be a stampede against unsportsmanship, but in fact he was a card that was awarded by running to the referee after Manchester City scored a goal. ”
"But I don't think Gabriel's collision with Jesus in the middle line deserves another yellow card."
"It was an ordinary foul, nothing more."
'Jesus was clever at controlling passes from Ederson, but Gabriel didn't feel like he was blocking a potential attack – multiple Arsenal players were coming back.
"VAR can't challenge because it's a yellow card."
Clattenburg 'blames Arsenal' history
This is not the first time Clattenburg has questioned the referee's decision against Arsenal. He had repeatedly complained about the gunman before.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, two VAR penalty errors in 2019
In a 2019 Daily Mail column, the 44-year-old whistle said: "Watching England's matches in the rugby World Cup semi-finals, I don't agree with the decision of the TV match officials, but at least I understand them. ”
"In contrast, yesterday's VAR at the Emirates Stadium confused me. I still don't know why they awarded Crystal Palace a penalty, and in my opinion, Zaha was clearly diving. ”
"Referee Atkinson was right to play his cards."
"He's also in a good position when it comes to blowing penalties. Chambers' legs crossed there, and Zaha threw himself to the ground. ”
Atkinson recognized his intentions and showed a yellow card. Then the VAR intervened. They told the referee to retract the original decision and award a penalty. This is a gift that crystal palaces have received. ”
Then in the last ten minutes, Sokratis scored to make the score 3-2 and the VAR cancelled it. At the same time, those watching the game at home and on the pitch are wondering why this is happening.
"Australian Gillette is a video referee at Stockley Park and I'd love to hear his explanation."
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur, two goals from Tottenham hotspur in 2018 should be ruled invalid
Christensen may be the only person in the world who is not an Arsenal fan but talks about Dell's goal.
On Twitter, Arsenal fans are calling for goals to be cancelled due to offside. Sky Sports did not play it back to check if there was a problem with the goal.
It's a bit odd because Sky Sports likes to create some controversy around every goal.
Tottenham's second goal came from Son Heung-min's diving.
Commentators, particularly Redtnapp Jr., were desperate to rationalize Tottenham's deceptions, even telling Arsenal fans that what they were seeing wasn't really happening.
"Mike Dean shouldn't have awarded Tottenham's two goals valid," Christensen wrote.
'When Eriksen took a free kick, Dell was in an offside position, rewriting the score to 1-1.
Son Heung-min dived to win a penalty for Tottenham. Holden rushed up to tackle the ball, but did not make contact with Sun. ”
'But Dean's award of The Veltonghen's first goal and his award to Arsenal on a penalty deserves credit – he was right to send him off for a foul on Lacazette."
Meanwhile, Keith Hackett said in the Daily Telegraph that "at first glance, I, like Mike, thought it was a penalty. Holden slid in front of the other and seemed to bump into him. Mike was in a good location and took a little time to point to the penalty spot. ”
'But the TV replay showed that Holden didn't touch Son and the Spurs striker fell to the ground a bit too easily.
That sounds very reasonable. He then added: "But what makes this penalty so tough is that you might think it's still a penalty, even if no contact happens." ”
"Article 12 stipulates that if the referee considers that the player's movements are sloppy, reckless or excessively forceful, a direct free kick will be given."
Holden's tackles were somewhat silly, but not the "sloppiness, recklessness or use of excessive force" in the rules, and Hackett understood that.
He tried to explain this, "Holden's challenge was urgent, and the results were sloppy. He did not make contact because Son Xingyu took the action of dodging, not because he avoided touching his opponent. ”
But we all know that this is pure nonsense. Son did not "take a dodge action." ”
He was diving and didn't try to avoid Holden, he wanted to be touched by an Arsenal defender.
Therefore, Holden did not cause Son Ton to fall to the ground, who fell on his own.
The definition of "sloppy" in the rules is to protect players from dangerous tackles, not stupid moves.
According to Hackett's logic, any player who slid to block the ball but the ball did not touch or the person would be awarded a penalty.
Manchester United vs Arsenal, Clattenburg criticised the referee in December 2018, saying United's goal should be cancelled
For the second consecutive match, Clattenburg was disappointed that Arsenal's opponents had profited from the misjudgment.
Against Tottenham, he said both goals from Spurs should be cancelled. The first goal Dale was in an offside position, and Son Should have been yellow carded for a fake fall instead of a penalty.
Away to Manchester United, another offside allowed Herrera to pass the ball to Anthony Martial.
McManaman believes "it's too close and you can't expect a sideline referee to see it all." ”
It was a free kick and the sideline referee's job was to see if anyone was offside when the ball was sent.
Writing in the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Clattenburg said that "United's equaliser should be cancelled due to offside." ”
"When Rojo sent out a free kick, Herrera's head was in offside. When the shot was saved, Herrera ran to the ball and passed it to Martial to score. ”
"With the help of VAR, the ball should have been cancelled, but it was disappointing that assistant referee Scott Ledger made a mistake."
'He's one of England's best assistant referees, but it's a static state with no defenders blocking his view.'
Meanwhile, Keith Hackett told the Daily Telegraph that "players who escaped the cards include Fellaini, Lacazette and Rojo." ”
Fellaini pulled Gondozi in the air.
"This kind of action is more common in foreign leagues. Yellow cards are usually awarded for unsportsmanlike actions, but sometimes red cards are awarded for acts of violence. ”
"Two minutes later, Lacazette dropped the ball from De Gea's hand with his head and kicked it into the goal."
The "ball" was right to be blown off, and arsenal players deserve a yellow card for this behaviour.
"In the end, Rojo luckily escaped a yellow card when he threw himself into the air with a ball that bounced back in the face of a shot and took his body to Guendouzi."
"It was a reckless challenge."
