A referee has been sacked just because Arteta complained?

Or because said referee made some errors?

Not aware of the story, please explain (I confess Senor Arteta has yet to irritate me)
 
Alex Ferguson would have got half the PL referees the boot in that case.

Hardly Micky Arteta's fault it was a pretty appalling error.
 
Well within his rights to complain Arteta like, it’s the equivalent of us being robbed for a goal in the back end of this season, could cost us automatic promotion🤷‍♂️
 
It’s frankly inexcusable that the VAR failed to spot such an obvious offside in the immediate passage of play leading to the goal, because he wasted 3 minutes looking at the wrong incident. I’d be very aggrieved if we suffered a similar incident that ultimately cost us promotion.
 
Can't help but feel that this sets a very dangerous precedence if you ask me. So any errors from VAR from now on is open season for managers and we can expect officials to leave their role.
 
So an official who has the benefits of watching and rewatching replays from a dozen angles makes a glaring error that could well have massive repercussions, and it’s Arteta who’s the disgrace for daring to complain about it?

Yup. VAR is supposed to remove "clear and obvious errors" not add a whole new range of fukups to the catalogue.

This was a fk up yes, but VAR isn’t used to remove clear and obvious errors, it’s used to analyse millimetres i.e. not clear and obvious and also in some cases opinions (red cards incidents - see Casemiro throat grab red card and then the (Liv v Eve ?) throat grab that wasn’t red card)
 
There won't be any referees left of they have to get rid of the incompetent ones.

When it says he won't referee in the PL again does that mean he's not going to referee anyone again or he's going to be palmed off to the championship?

You're conflating two different aspects of the VAR process. There are basically two different kinds of errors VAR looks at: referee judgment errors (these are the ones where the "clear and obvious" criteria apply) and factual questions such as whether a player was in an offside position or what the location of a foul was (inside or outside the penalty area, mainly) which are the ones where very precise measurements come into play.

So VAR analyzes both C&O errors and analyses situations where centimetres or millimetres are important, depending on the circumstances. The two are not mutually exclusive.
 
Arteta was right to complain about this one but his behaviour on the sideline is disgraceful, he seems to get away with it because he’s Arsenal manager, any other manager would be getting carded or sent off every game, Mourinho used to get in trouble for far less.
