Match Thread | Liverpool vs. Manchester City (08/02/26)

[brummie blue]

am i the only one that thinks this is the right and logical decisions? I don't see why the goal should stand - haaland clearly fouls szobo there, but that foul is nullified by szobo's first foul. they don't cancel eachother out, it just means that only the first applies. it makes sense.

rules are rules I guess, but isn't the game far better if the ref goes it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other, neither touched the ball. Leave it as it is.

Pawson just showing why he genuinely is one of the worst refs in the country. Anyway screw the ferals we won!!!

Probably not his fault. But if it was 1-1 this should’ve been a cancel out thing

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Big, big win …very very happy…in our hands still

 

[hilts]

Imagine if we had gone on to win the title on goal diference of 1.

It's the right decision all round it's just not very fun.

Your last sentence covers it, the rest is nonsense.

 

[Blue_Rossy]

Bent bias bastards

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Its just wank and destroying the game as entertainment, we scored so just play advantage you daft cunts

Refs orders they don’t want us to win it. The whole world can see it. But they have to pretend that there’s no corruption.

Well it's the reason they can't just ignore it. Goals matter. Could effect the title race or the top 4 race.

 

[paulchapo]

It’s a roller coaster of emotions. One minute you’re mad as hell next you’re in heaven.

Football eh?

 

[Tolmie scores]

very unexpected, and possibly deserved, definitely better team first half, but woeful again for 25 mins second half.... we are no where near arsenal in terms of steel tbf, we did get away with it second half thx to Bernadoo... he's been immense for us... we need to sort out a Rodri replacement sadly... he just can't move anymore... too difficult to have an immobile CDM now

We all want correct decisions and that was correct

 

[Kippax77]

Spoilt our dancng all over Klanfield..... but only for a minute.


HAVE THAT DIPPERS, ARSENAL, RAGS AND HOWARD FUCKIN WEBB

 

[Jwoody19]

FUCKING GET IN THERE CITY absolutely brilliant. About time we showed some bottle! Up against the flukiest team and the bentest ref and we’ve done what we needed to do. Almost can’t believe it! Get in city

 

[BLVCKNBLUE95]

What a mental end to the game!!

I’m so confused why the ref just didn’t allow the 3rd goal and override the VAR. they bring more pressure and scrutiny on themselves, how have they not allowed advantage for that can someone explain that? Is it cos Haaland fouled during the advantage?? End result doesn’t matter and I’m estactic but this has pissed me off

Is there such a thing as advantage in these situations?

 

[samuelyeboah]

maybe? but you open up a whole other can of worms with that. The ref's purpose is to get to the right decision not the righteous one. szobo's penalty for fouling haaland shouldn't be the concession of a goal but a red card. it is what it is.

 

[chesterbells]

Come on City!

Btw, they lose one of their essential players on an immediate 3 game ban now don’t they?

 

[geoff hammond]

Have a word with yourself. Happy clap all you want. The reality is being played out in front of us, week in week out.

Who do you support?
And before you answer, please look up the word support.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Of the many crazy var decisions. That is right up there

Another one where we are done over. Let them try taking that from the Dips or Rags.

 

[Berti No Show]

We've won at Anfield. That has to do wonders for the mentality and self belief. Guehi and Khusanov both superb today.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Thats a brilliant season changing win, but that decision on the third goal was an utter disgrace.

Games gone hasn't it.
I understand there's people with bets etc....
Neither side wanted that to go the way it did - we were robbed of a goal, and the dippers lose a player for at least a game
