Glad Brentford haven’t gone to shit after Frank left. Must admit, I thought they had at the start of the season but Andrews has got them playing really well.

 

[waspish]

harsh penalty that

Was it on the line? Yes! did VVd kick the Brentford’s player foot? Yes!

 

[City_Sean]

Considering the amount of penalties Liverpool have had in recent years for soft tackles then its hard to have any sympathy. Salah, Gakpo etc go down at the slightest touch. Why shouldn't their opponents?

 

[bluetonium]

Not sure why the focus was on the kick, although I do find it funny that van dyke actually kicks his foot back into the area!

Call me mad, but I'm thinking the two hands on the player, shoving him off the ball inside the area, was the foul the penalty should have been given for.

It's not anfield, Virgil, you ain't guaranteed to get away with that one!

 

[paulchapo]

It’s a total dive and an awful call.

Nobody cares, it just goes part way to cancelling out the hundreds of dubious ones they've been given over the years

 

[DMA's]

It’s amazing how poor salah looks. Some fall off

 

[skillman]

What a block

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Is that what’s known as “evening things up”?!

Or as Unai Emery might say " ebening things up"

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Never plain and obvious but we all know that rule is bullshit. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team though

The clear and obvious rule only applies to subjective decisions. The VAR wasn't making a subjective decision, the referee had already made the decision.

Couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch of cunts. Hold on Brentford please

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Why? Van Dick kicks the player then his foot lands on the line. The contact must have been inside the box.

He barely nicked him and the fucker fell down like he was caught in a bear trap.

This is the kind of stuff the game needs to stop rewarding and we all know it no matter how much joy we receive from it when it helps us.

 

[wattle]

They haven’t decided it wasn’t a foul, they just examined where the foul took place.

Yeh I know but I don’t think it was clear that it was on the line. Millimetres again. That’s what football is now.

Believe me, I’m not complaining in specifics — just generalities :).

Making our result look quite good now

 

[waspish]

What is McCoist on about, "he's going away from goal" that means absolutely fuck all, he could be doing the bloody Can Can, if he's fouled he's fouled end of story, his direction of travel means absolutely nowt. Prick.

It’s commentators who start a narrative with that shit! If they said it’s 100% a penalty VVD kicked his foot on the line and all the media do the same then maybe they won’t be as many conspiracy going around!

 

[DMA's]

I really hope the “lesser” teams take a leaf out of Brentford’s book. Less of the passing sideways stuff against teams who have better players. This is how you get results against the teams with the bigger budgets etc.

Full effort, closing down together, direct fast and in your face. They have rattled Liverpool

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Watch the dippers turn up like prime Brazil when we play them

 

[wattle]

The clear and obvious rule only applies to subjective decisions. The VAR wasn't making a subjective decision, the referee had already made the decision.

But VAR judged that the ref was wrong and that it was on the line yeh?

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

He barely nicked him and the fucker fell down like he was caught in a bear trap.

This is the kind of stuff the game needs to stop rewarding and we all know it no matter how much joy we receive from it when it helps us.

I don't disagree on the player's reaction - but the reaction of the player fouled has nothing to do with whether it was a foul or not. Only the defender's actions matter in deciding that.

Slot on the phone to Prince Andrew for tips on how to defend a title.

Right after he's finished waxing his bonce.
