Liverpool (H) Post Match Thread

[squirtyflower]

Few posters on here gagging for Kompany to have been sent off.

Very strange, especially after the result. It wasn’t a red and it shouldn’t have been. everyone get over it.

I’m amazed at how many of our fans believe it was a definite red yet also thought Sterling fell over himself.
It beggars belief at times

 

[squirtyflower]

First of all, I am not discussing Lovrens tackle only Vinnies. Studs up, off the floor scissor tackles are deemed out of control but you clearly disagree

Good job it wasn’t one of them then really?

The trailing leg that was tucked in behind him?

Some scouse on talkshite the other day said Aguero dived seconds before he scored and should have been booked and a free kick for them.

Dick Van Dyke shoved him in the back more contact than the pussy TomDaley Salah got when he hit the deck against Newcastle

Limited contact from Kompany - so studs and scissor action irrelevant, little being made of how much (as ever) Salah made of it - writhing around like he’d been shot. At the time I thought a yellow wa a bit tough but no way was it a red. I said earlier in the thread - when they showed the Sterling penalty Ratboy said ‘no penalty’. Then they showed it close up and Robertson had two hands on him mauling him down - it was cast iron and Ratboy said nothing. I also thought Henderson got away with murder - couple of mistimed tackles weren’t carded and he was pulling at Fern and Bernardo all night - no way we’d have got away with that. Thought Taylor was cleverly poor - no big decisions but gave the Dippers free kicks for limited contact but when this was reversed all was fair and play on.

It was a push with two hands - probably not enough for a penalty but significantly more than the powder puff decisions Salah is being gifted. More double standards from the perennial victims.

Agree with all you posted.
The Kompany challenge was near us and it looked a good strong tackle. Some people making up the scissors and excessiveness to justify why they think he should be off. Probably the same people think Mane was treated harshly last season.
Liverpool using a lot of underhand fouls that went unpunished.
Taylor is a snidey little cheat.

The width of their vulva more like

No they’re bigger cnuts than that

 

[Grassland Blue]

Nothing at all like that, Vinnie went in studs up and out of control

So you can be in control and commit an intentional foul but out of control yet only clip an opposition player and the second one is a red card? Hmm

 

[kippaxchris]

Red card or not nobody including Liverpool fans can complain about it. 2 wrongly dissalowed goals for us against them last season. 2 penaltys not given for Robertson fouling Sterling last season & potentially one from Thursday with the same 2 players again, its about time we got some luck in this fixture.

 

[Machiavelli]

Will post more later on specifics

Oh goody.

I would expect nothing less from Liverpool fans who are the worst fans around for not being able to judge things rationally (that fan video blaming the length of grass on our pitch illustrating this perfectly). The surprise for me is to see City fans exaggerating the nature of the tackle. Watching the Sky coverage back, even they broadly agreed that a yellow was correct and that possibly a couple of refs out of ten would have given a red. That was a studio with three Liverpool fans working for a Liverpool loving media organisation. We beat them fair and square, certainly don’t feel like the ref favoured us at all on the night.

It’s not luck we need but fairness. We don’t want anything we don’t deserve just the decisions we are due.

We despise the fact that the media sets the narrative and yet when they so obviously do, as they have with the "controversial" Kompany tackle, a whole bunch of numpties in here fall for it.

 

[bugsyblue]

The letter of the law doesn't say that at all.

Oh really? Why do commentators, fans, journalists talk about being out of control/having two feet off the ground being a red card all the time then?

I'll take any bit of luck we can get if it's meaningful to us winning a game, also if you look at the amount of luck Liverpool have had recently from officials could us having some good luck against them be considered fair?

because they don't understand the laws of the game?

 

[blueinsa]

Because its a narrative that has formed over the last few years and has fuck all to do with what the actual law of the game states.

Correct, just the other two
