Cheating Refs

[kiam06]

Today was an absolute disgrace there was only going to be one team winning that.

Three penalties ignored and Suarez constant diving for 90 mins unpunished it was bordering on a farce.

The real shame is against all that and even with Yaya injured we battered them second half and if Aguero's pass would have been better to Silva no doubt we'd have gone on to win it.

There is a lot to do but Liverpool now have to play with pressure and we can get on with playing so not over yet.

 

[Barcon]

Suarez flopped so much he has become a parody. In the 55th when he flopped and Clattenberg didn't give him a second yellow for simulating (which it had to be... or else it was a foul) I knew then that the cheating bastard would take that as a green light to throw himself to the pitch at the slightest prompting with no fear of consequences. Should have been 11 v 10 from that point and an easy 3 points to City.

Silva was clearly hacked down in the box to no call... an easy penalty call overlooked that likely would've made it 3-2 City.

Skrtel punched the ball in the box while raising his arm to (yet again) elbow one of our attackers... again no call.

And it was less clear than the others, but another ref might have given a pen for Sakho's lunge too.


I'm not a conspiracy guy, but rather I think that the refs were intimidated by the occasion, and City got the short end of the calls.

You missed the nailed on penalty against Dzeko.
That **** suarez should have missed the last 40 mins of the game and the 90 mins of thier next game.

Liverpool have bought the title, not with money, but with the memories of the dead. I think we all absolutely knew what would happen with a referee after the Hillsborough parade before the game and in the week building up to it. It would of taken a ridiculously strong referee to not crack under that pressure and hand them the game, but even with that considered, Clattenburg was a disgrace. We should make a complaint, but we all know how little that does.

Tasteless comment that!

 

[Sky Blue]

I thought the ref was actually pretty good today.

He wasn't going to give a penalty today to either side unless it was a stonewall decision and I don't think any of them were.

Suarez probably should have been shown a second yellow for his dive, but Clattenberg definitively didn't cost us this result today.

No probably about it. He completely bottled out sending goofy off.

Wiggy was inept and shit...

 

[Gillespie]

You should have had a pen for the Skyrtl forearm smash but to be honest you can't blame the ref. No one noticed it at the time and we wouldn't have known except for the replay from Sky.

 

[akcity]

Tbh nobody saw the handball in real time, nobody appealed it either...

Yes we should have had a pen or 2 but they could have had a pen too.

Can't blame the ref for us giving them a 2 goal start in an appalling first 30 minutes by City.

Ah...the co-commentators favourite. With any decision the ref has to decide one way or the other, if he was 55% dive, 45% foul, then he still has to make a decision about giving a foul or not. To send someone off for a dive he has to be 100% sure.

For me, it was a poor refereeing display, but all the key decisions were close - particularly without a TV replay - so not corrupt for me.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

The way the game was built up beforehand Clattenburg would never have got out alive had he: (A) sent off their lovechild Suarez or (B) given us 3 pens!
This was a liverpool wankfest from the start and it has been building up for weeks.

that blatant handball at skrtel wasn't a blatant one????? fuck off

Personally, I didn't notice it in normal time.

Obviously the replays show a clear handball, but it was a hard one to spot in normal time with all the bodies there.

It's an example of why technology should be used to help the referee.
