Unless ppl are going to his house not sure how he’s getting threats? He has zero social media
This appears as a deflection from the PGMOL
Sky sports have already started with their defence of him. Can’t defend the decision so make it about the abuse he’s getting, classic deflection tactics
Clearly abuse is bad but the way this has come out is pure PR by the PGMOL, from some dickheads posting shit online and they are now using this to spin the narrative and make sure they don’t admit any fault.

Classic deflection. Frankly I even doubt this is the most abuse he’s got considering we actually won the game
Sicario2 - Tier 1 that's just deflection. Refs are abused by idiots every week.

Must be from the rest of his family. They probably think he's a useless cunt too.

Even the Arsenal haters agree with us don’t understand what is going on.
I just don't get why they're circling the wagons around this decision.
Knowing our luck the FA will fine Arsenal FC for failing to control it's fans on social media.
It will be really interesting if the FA panel overturn the decision after PGMOL have doubled down on it. Puts PGMOL in a difficult place if the footballing world and then the FA’s Independent Regulatory Commission find Oliver’s decision to be wrong. Someone get Webb on tv and documenting his view before the appeal goes in!
No red card and to add insult to injury Martinez goes on to score the winner.
IBL please don't give them any ideas...
CPM Because they're corrupt as all get out.
Ok, that tweet has really triggered me.
Though the level of injustice is obviously not the same, that statement from PGMOL is like something you'd get from a police union after one of their officers are recorded murdering someone. It's all about diverting attention to make themselves the victim.
It's no surprise Howard Webb was a part of South Yorkshire Police, one of the most corrupt, unprincipled and incompetent police forces in the country for the last 50 years or so.

There's a fair bit at stake for these guys. It's being shown time and time again there's a big quality and skill deficit in English refereeing. Meanwhile PGMOL has managed to tightly wedge itself into the Premier League media landscape.
The leaked Coote video spoke volumes with its jealousy: these top flight referees are very aware they're the only people who get near the pitch on Premier League match days who aren't multi-millionaires.
From the rest of the sport's vantage point, there's no need for PGMOL to be continued in its current form or under current leadership. For fans there seems very little reason to think Howard Webb can run a better refereeing body than your local publican.
It adds up to a paranoid and vulnerable organisation desperate to weld itself to an established power base, and broker favours in return for protection. Whether explicit or otherwise, PGMOL has been doing just that. They're accordingly defensive about the status quo from the pitch to the boardroom.
I’d even forgotten that this is the season where Saliba conceded a penalty for fairly contesting a header.
