Pedro kicked it when it was already out of play and there are balls available all round the pitch for the throw-in.

We all know full well that they're the games we make a mess of!!
And no Arsenal player nearby to take it anyway.

this. And as thick as mince. I have no idea how he gets a gig, he makes Micah Richards look like a Dimbleby.

Keown showing what a biassed, blinkered dick he is. Like that Everton girl claiming Dunk slid into DCL's space a couple of weeks ago. Where do they get this "space" nonsense from? It's not in the laws of the game.

Arsenal fans in meltdown reckon Pedro should have gone. Thoughts ?

AFTV should a fun watch later for their even-handed phlegmatic responses to the referee's decisions.

Same.
Really? We were crap before their sending off. It's too be expected, we're well below strength still and our players haven't learned what the manager wants yet.
Should have 'gone' for what? Kicking the ball away is only a yellow. His yellow then came for dissent late on, which he wouldn't have done if he'd been on a yellow already.

Particularly when it is our free kick and his "space" is 10 yards away from the ball.

Looking at the opinions of neutrals on social media, most of them think that it should not have been a red for Rice.
Perhaps those of us that think it was a 'definite red' have our blue & white tinted specs too firmly on.
I'll be honest, I do think it was a little harsh and would probably be fuming if our player got sent off for that.

Decent point that, disagree the game changed with the sending off, I thought it changed when Ayari came on for Milner. We pushed our game up a few yards and stopped their momentum.

Well it's always nice to see a left field opinion thrown into the mix.

Well, that was a decent result. I only had the radio so it is hard to judge but it seemed a lively game and we matched them well. For a couple of hours at least…. We are top of the league !
I am happy with that .

He could have been booked for the first half kicking the ball away. However Arteta is an idiot as he claimed he'd have been sent off. He's almost certainly wouldn't as he'd have been more careful in his reactions afterwards and would have been unlikely to have received a yellow at all late on.
