Michael Oliver to ref Liverpool v City - City lodge complaint

[Bill the Blue]

Liverpool Football Club have absolutely no shame...

They have no respect for how the game of football should be played..

They've stooped lower than the Marina Trench to cheat, con and manipulate referees, the rules of the game and the softarses who run the Premier League in a bid to win the prize they haven't had for 3 decades..

On an even footing they know they are just not good enough to win it fair and square unlike the team they are in direct competition with who play the game the way it should be played, in a style that is admired and copied by International teams and lower league teams alike..

The Dippers are helped out EVERY game with dubious decisions for which they show no shame or remorse in accepting...

They may well win it this year but for any Dippers reading this... What a piss poor way to win the league..

You can keep your cheating, diving players, the bent referees, dodgy VAR decisions affording your club protection from penalties against you whilst not hesitating to give penalties for you when in reality the player in question (who's dived) should at the very least be carded...

I'll stick with my team thanks and enjoy watching proper professional players doing their upmost to win games whilst abiding by the rules and the laws of the game..!

They certainly represent an awful lot that is wrong with the modern game.

Had the penalty been awarded which it should have been there would have been a case for a red card as well for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.

I thought the new rule meant it was now a yellow if the ref awards a pen against denying a goal scoring opportunity. Regardless, it was never a red card offense.

The new rule is yellow if it's a genuine attempt at getting the ball. Pulling someone back would still be a red card.

Aside from that, you're right that the suggestion that TAA should have been sent off for it is utterly ridiculous.

It’s a yellow if the ref believes a genuine attempt has been made to win the ball. Offences such as a shirt pull, handball are red cards as far as I understand it. Raheem was unmarked, ten yards out.
