Visionary

Olé book of bullshit.

Why are City keeping that quiet then? If it’s that bad should we call them out or get lawyers involved?

Oh I'm pretty sure they are. Let's put it into a bit of a perspective. You don't mess around or piss off a deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates who is also part of the royal family of Abu Dhabi, HH Shiek Mansour. We haven't even started on our chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, remember his nice calm and collective post season video.
Then you have John W. Henry, the cowboy (in relation) from the U S of fucking A thinking he, along with the Glazers can take on us. No. Not a chance.
And then you have the media, well they're just as bad as they've always been. Stay as relevant as possible, with the biggest news stories that will give them the biggest clicks and follows, which is why you see so many positive rags and littlewoods and negative ones about us. They have no shame, they just want the biggest £££.
littlewoods can fuck off, Klopp can fuck off and their fans can fuk off. I am enjoying every single minute of this. Even if we don't win the league.

But what about the holding of hands with all the squad in front of the kop when they draw to West Brom ?
Surely he wants to do that one more time before he goes

To be fair to them, that looks a great result now. They were entitled to celebrate it.

As for the ref not looking at VAR long enough. Stevie Wonder could see that was a pen

Who was the VAR ref who bottled it, the on pitch 'proper' ref really didn't need to look at it again.

 

[Chi-town blues]

come on city do the right thing and print that shit on shirt “God is a city fan “ instead of mr whippy . I’ll buy for my family.

 

[Ted_Bovis]

Look at their joy.
I think we are forgetting how much Everton beating them will affect the dippers and their fans. We are celebrating their demise but that local rivalry...

This certainly does mean more.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Remember,Liverpool’s greatest ever vintage and one of the best sides of all time to play association rules football. They lost to an Everton side for the first time since 99 at Anfield and surrendered to a Manchester City team at home, which back in 2003 consisted of David Someill, Nicolas Jensen, Robbie Fowler and Nicolas Anelka.

Take as much time as you want to digest it and decide where this unstoppable force ranks in the best sides you have seen.

Had klopp really said god is a Manchester City fan ? Really ?

This is the problem with him, he may have actually said it....I struggle sometimes to decipher between humour and how much of a prick he is.

 

[Ted_Bovis]

You need to get out more

We all do. Lockdown innit.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

And on the seventh day God created Manchester City.

There's a t-shirt idea there..

Lololol. Cheating dipper scum

See, wouldn't that mean that they also get more beneficial calls from the referees than anyone? Because if they weren't then VAR wouldn't have had so much to overturn?

but WTF does a "negative VAR decision" actually mean?

 

[pudge]

I'm both shocked but not shocked over the insistence it wasn't a foul despite Alexander-Arnold twice attempting to trip him up

He called them divers because they ARE divers. Even the BBC called Salah out on it.

Can’t believe he called them divers after their dives... how did neither of them get
Booked?

That's referencing the specific incident I think, which is a general exception to the pattern. These negative decisions would also include penalties for Liverpool overturned by VAR, penalties against Liverpool given by VAR, goals for Liverpool ruled out for a foul/offside by VAR, and offside goals/foul goals against Liverpool given by VAR.


So I stand by my original post.

Although as we saw against Leicester, VAR gave Leicester a freekick instead of a penalty. Also against us, it didn't advise anything on the Salah penalty. Offsides this season have been consistently harsh for everyone. So VAR can't be THAT bad for them.

How do you figure? Perhaps “negative decision” should be “unfavourable decision” to alleviate confusion. Nonetheless, my interpretation is that VAR have disputed an on-field decision and 11 times the outcome was unfavourable to dippers. Stated differently, dippers would have had 11 errors in their favour.

The way it's calculated is every decision that has involved VAR that has had a negative outcome.

Dale's explanation as to why it counts as a negative is due to the unusual nature of it; it's to clear it up for people who'd wonder why when there was no obvious reason compared to the other reasons listed above.

It's extremely rare for the referee to not agree with VAR.


Just going off of this earlier tweet, it's extraordinarily unlikely that on over 80 occasions the ref has ignored VAR to give a decision against a team like we saw with Liverpool yesterday.
