Jonathan Pearce with his view. "Game's gone"...

Seems like this season the people who instigate the incidents are getting off with it every time

Football is not enjoyable anymore in Premiership its been like that last 5 years .var is the worst thing that's been brought in

Ref Oliver is corrupt. Brighton player was the one who should have been sent off.

Get people who have played the game to referee and sack all these weak men posing as referees

Absolutely agree. No common sense, just tell both players to cut the crap out and concentrate on playing football. Ridiculous sending off

Not a fan of Jonathan Pearce, but I think the ref got it wrong. He's clearly just tried pushing Chema away as he tries getting in his face, looks like he tried shoving him away and happened to be his face. Felt like the officials should've just calmed things down and had a word

Yellow for Arsenal and Red for rest of the league

Stinking decision never ever a red

How can you not send a player off for shoving his forearm into an opponents face.....straightforward decision by our best referee...doing his job

A yellow card max. The Prem refs are undermining themselves w some recent decisions.

That is never a red card. That was not aggressive or dangerous, nor intentional.

Saw loads of comments from other Brentford fans saying it was a definite red, Shambolic refereeing, if someone instigates a fight, you’re within your rights to shove them away, that’s just common law. In fact these refs should study a little bit of law

It was nothing a brush off. Mad

The Franny Lee v. Norman Hunter reference is one for the kids!

Football is a shit sport now.

He is one of the worst commentators he is. Turn the volume off when he’s on.

He hit him in the face; that's been a red card for at least 30 years.

Lol JP is a knob.

Agreed never a red, not excusing Thiago though he was stupid to react and was having a go at Luka shortly before this too, seemed he was trying to bully our CBs but ended up with a red for his troubles. Two yellows would have been sufficient.

These officials are a disgrace and the prem league is a joke with these clowns in charge

@Suttonbaggies games gone

Wish I hadn't watched that, makes me feel uneasy when I agree with Jonathan Pearce

He's not wrong.....

15 game ban for the Brighton player would change attitudes fairly quickly. Did he get touched? Yes. Is it a red? Yeah unfortunately. Is the player faking being hurt? 100% yes. It's simulation.

They guy had already early swung a punch at our central defenders chest unseen dirty player can’t. Control himself needed to go .

Absolute joke! That is not a sending off! Professional referees apparently. Nobody at any level of football believes that is a red card offence!

@CFO4TAG The only people who conceivably think this is a red are Brighton fans 😭. Everything has turned so soft in football.

These officials are stupid

The object of the game now for many players is to con the ref into giving free kicks,penalties,along with yellow & red cards. The amount of feigning is killing football. They disrespect fans,fellow pros & the game which has allowed them to live like kings. Shameful

The game went a long time ago ! Football is crap now

@dadgooner Bang on

Am I alone in getting sick of professional footballers throwing themselves to the floor clutching various body parts & howling in faux pain at the merest touch, just to get an opposition player booked or sent off? What is the point of VAR? Well, except to make Howard Webb rich.

Yellow card for simulation by the clown in blue for me.

Hes a dreadful ref been saying it for years
