AIR MYLES
Whether you’re in the camp who believe there is some sort of sinister agenda being orchestrated by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited against Arsenal for reasons that nobody can explain, or the much larger one that knows there is nothing of the sort, pretty much everyone was in agreement that the red card shown to Myles Lewis-Skelly during his team’s game against Wolves last weekend was unfair. Everyone, that is, except the PGMOL, which did its increasingly damaged reputation few favours by doubling down on Michael Oliver’s decision to dismiss the teenager for what was a straightforward yellow card offence. The upshot? Arsenal appealed to the Football Association to have the card overturned and on Tuesday their independent regulatory commission duly obliged and an innocent young man walked free after being exonerated for a crime he did not commit.
