I used to really like him, what a petulant little so and so.

If anyone in a Brighton shirt ever did this I’d hope we would come down on them like a ton of bricks

Personally I think more players should just ignore the officials at the end of matches.

Mixing with the wrong crowd now.

Stupid thing to do, to start getting a reputation as petulant and graceless amongst officials. I’m sure they are a fairly tight-knit community who swap opinions on players. Far better to be magnanimous in defeat - or, even better, just be ‘the grey man.’ It’s never clever to gain notoriety with decision makers for the wrong reasons.

With Arteta at the helm, I'm sure words will be had. Really bad from Ben. He knows better.

 

[Easy 10]

I didn't like that.

 

[B-right-on]

I didn't like that.

Haven't seen the game and not justifying his actions, but we've all done things in the heat of the moment that we later regret. No it's not good, he should apologise.

Exactly. 93rd minute after such a good performance. Not clever at all but we've all done similar in the heat of the moment, and I'm sure he regrets it in hindsight

 

[Lower West Stander]

One of our own (although I never really got the hype).

Let’s hope he doesn’t turn into one of those privileged London types who never think they do anything wrong.

Expect Chelsea to try and sign him after doing that….

Look like he's trying to get on Arsenal Fan TV, with an outrageous moment.
Laughable really...

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I'm clearly in my own club here but I'm not sure what the problem is ? Just looks like a jokey hand slap. Admittedly I didn't watch the game so if it had anything to do with a decision by that official then fair enough he shouldn't have done it.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Nothing quite as satisfying as one of the bolshy big clubs, having enjoyed years of refereeing privilege against the PL minions, getting the raging arse over er….biased refereeing…..

 

[Icy Gull]

Disappointing from Ben and somewhat childish

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Disappointing as he’s always come across as quite a smart and humble guy when he’s been interviewed. That said, I wonder if it looks a lot worse than it actually was? I.e. frustrated and resigned but good natured high-five (or whatever they’re called) as opposed to a grimacing swipe. It’s worth noting that the official doesn’t react in any way. I think his facial expression will be key to interpreting the tone of this, which we can’t see.

100% this. See also a braying crowd rallying against a perceived wrong decision. Sure that’s going to ingratiate us to them isn’t it?!

Hell even the infamous Burnley game sure I was incensed but only by the stupidity of our players in getting sent off for obvious acts and not moved to boo the referee for doing his job.

Not the end of the world

A low five, as opposed to a high five.

Don't tell me you're a soothsayer now

Don't tell me you're a soothsayer now

is he Leo Sayers bother?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Having just watched the highlights can see why the Arsenal players might have had the arse with the officials, but that should have been directed at whoever was on VAR.
