Best deluded opinion from an Arse fan is that "they" don't want Arsenal to win the league so have an agenda against them. Apparently they'll be getting decisions against them all season. (Who "they" are and why they don't want Arsenal to win the league wasn't specified.)

Feigning injury is becoming out of control now. A Wolves player went down as if they were seriously injured in the last few minutes of the Forest match just as Forest had a corner, even the Forest players were concerned and calling on the physio, looked like he must have done his ACL or something just as bad. Game stopped, momentum lost, job done; same player is then spriniting on 90 seconds later. The ref should be able to show a card. It is just cheating.
If it were up to me after a player receives treatment which causes a stop in the game, for an 'injury' not caused by a foul, then I'd make it 5 minutes off the pitch, or the team can make an immediate sub.

Referees must caution players who delay the restart of play by:
- appearing to take a throw-in but suddenly leaving it to a team-mate to take
- delaying leaving the field of play when being substituted
- excessively delaying a restart
- kicking or carrying the ball away, or provoking a confrontation by deliberately touching the ball after the referee has stopped play
- taking a free kick from the wrong position to force a retake

Good point re the multi-ball system and Pedro.

On the last two occasions I’ve queued for that tube, firstly the cup match, some Brighton fan was that pissed he got over excited about the fact he’d managed to nick an onion from outside a local shop and last season some of our younger element tried to antagonise the Arsenal fans by singing about Man City.
On reflection my experiences weren’t as bad as yours!
Also had Arteta passed the ball to one his team to take a quick throw then he should be booked and they shouldn't have been allowed to use that ball to take the throw.

I don't give a monkey's if it was a red, or a yellow, or neither, or even both. The game is done. Suck it up.
History will show we drew with them and obvs stopped Arsehole winning the 24/25 Premier League.
I am just really really really enjoying that this is making their bell-end fans really really really cry. They'd barely manage to cry harder if we'd won that game.
(McDonald's whistle) I'm loving it.

Also Rice should have had a straight red for the first half challenge on Veltman!
After 10 hours of messages on Sunday, my Arsenal-supporting mate started again today. Arsenal Reddit links, new camera angles, Twitter conspiracies. Not sure how many times I need to send him a screenshot and link to the laws of the game, not to mention Rice's mea culpa.
Apparently, the refs have had it in for them since they first fielded a non-English 11.

I've not seen as a proper replay of where the ball went exactly either side of the touchline but my recollection from being at the game was it rapidly went down the pitch and off the bottom, whether it crossed the touchline maybe, maybe not but it was hit with force so wouldn't have delayed the restart as it wasn't on the pitch when a player picked up a multi-ball
Today I've just been replying with weird and wonderful conspiracy theories from the Arsenal-verse, which seems to have embarrassed him into silence
Also, I don't think it was after the referee had stopped play

I agree. The number of so-called experts spouting on about Rice getting a red card for kicking the ball away seem to conveniently forget about the second yellow. The vast number of Arsenal fans seem to have ignored that as well. Oh dear, let’s start the season again shall we? Just to right the wrongs make sure that Arsenal retain the six points from their first two games, the result against Brighton will be expunged and the game awarded to Arsenal by way of a 3-0 win. The referee in the centre of the Rice controversy will now face charges of high treason which carries the death penalty for those found guilty.
Agree with a lot of what you say but 5 minutes is probably the proverbial sledgehammer. Fact is referees are not medics therefore they don't really have the expertise to assess an injury so if they stop play, so even before the ref has got to the player to ask him, they should wave on the physios immediately. I'm pretty sure that would eliminate the problem but if not, then maybe revert to the 5 minutes!!
