I genuinely need to stop reading anything to do with Rice’s second yellow. I’m about to put a fist through my monitor.

"“Once he’s seen Declan Rice deliberately, clearly kick that ball away from the position of that free-kick, then I don’t think he’s got any choice.” Footage of a similar offence committed by Joao Pedro, but that was not punished was then played with Webb explaining the difference between the two incidents.

“It’s a different type of scenario,” he said. “It sits in the same kind of book around delaying the restart. Of course, he should have been cautioned here. The officials on the field gave him too much benefit of doubt, feeling that the actions weren’t really impactful because they felt that the Arsenal players were not ready to take that throw-in.”

“They felt the Arsenal playesr were not ready to take that throw-in”… and Veltman was? You can just say “the officials on the field gave Brighton the benefit of the doubt and not Arsenal”, save us all some fucking time and brain cells, you incompetent and biased fucks.
