I'm astonished there hasn't been a 6 page pull-out special in the Liverpool Echo claiming that our goal line markings are too wide...

The fucking rule for all of time is that the whole ball has to cross the line, it didn't.

I saw that and had to laugh at the scouse saying 'what the fuck is that coat?' I was loitering around ready to jump in and defend you if it kicked off until i realised i was walking the wrong way.

Was much like Delph’s against Leicester where it’s one of those “orange card” tackles. Thought the Delph red was harsh, thought Vinny getting a yellow was just about the right decision.

Salah is picking up a reputation for diving, he did early in the match, and the contact by Vinnie was minimal as he was already in mid air. the ref probably thought i am not getting mugged
 
Well, we only won because Pep abandoned all his principles and became a pragmatist, "sacrificing finesse for fierceness" (I think the Daily Mail means "ferocity"). In the post-match press conference Pep actually asked one reporter what was different about the way City had played and he got a stammered reply ... Apart from that Klopp seemed to get the blame for picking an unimaginative midfield of uninspired workhorses while their fans blame it all on Lovren and the ref for disallowing a perfectly good goal just because the ball hadn't crossed the line... Of course, no one suggests they lost because their fabulous front three were muzzled for 89/90 minutes, City's midfield dominated the game, our front three gave their back line a real headache, we outplayed them and our crowd intimidated them... Denial mode.
 
Not sure if mentioned yet but they started a petition to look at goal line technology. What a bunch of victims they are!!!!
 
Listening to Mark Lawrenson on FF "lets look at it from a Liverpool point of view" fuckoff with LFC pundit propaganda who havent quite managed to sway public opinion to the 'city were lucky point of view'
 
Late here but this was huge no doubt a defeat and it could have been seen as pretty much over. 4 point gap and it’s neck and neck again. Got to think Liverpool drop points elsewhere but no longer can we afford to drop any points to the teams we shouldn’t.

I didn't, and having just seen it again a couple of times, I still don't, its an opinion anyone is entitled to have, and its not "ridiculous".

Virtually all calls are subjective.

And you're entitled to think that Vinny's challenge was not card-worthy.

Yet, I can't help but feel that your assessment is biased - let's say that VVD charged into Sergio Aguero at full speed - leaped into the air - and then, studs up, one foot extended, managed to win the ball, as Aguero leaped out of the way of a possibly career-ending challenge.

Excessive force? No card? Yellow? Red?

I think that the Yellow against Vinny was the correct call - and as the NBC pundits stated - it was very close to a Red.

Why was it a near Red? And why for me was it a clear Yellow? Because I do not want this sort of tackle occurring. I want to discourage challenges that might well result in serious injury to opponents - whether or not the ball is won.

Clearly Vinny won the ball - the question now is, do you think that Vinny might have seriously injured Salah?
===
Edit - and regardless of my preferences - it's the rules of the game that apply - and the rules of the game mandate a card for overly aggressive challenges - possibly causing injury to an opponent.

That clearance from Stones was nearly a goal, but the simple fact is, it wasnt. I thought the tackle on Aguero was far worse and Sterling should have had a penalty. We didn't get them and fortunately Taylor made the correct decision with Vinnies tackle.
