Virgil van Dijk defensive stat for never being dribbled past still stands as FA confirm Liverpool’s Community Shield defeat is ‘second grade game’

A spokesperson from the FA told talkSPORT that the match is considered a 'second grade' game and therefore any stats don't count.

It doesn’t matter if he was playing against his kids on a beach or the Community Shield, he was dribbled past and it was live on TV. It isn’t a stat, it is a fact.
Is Leroy not really injured?
Did City not score more penalties?

BOLLOCKS

Now I know why the dippers were boasting they outnumbered us on Wembley Way....They meant at the end!

Rio made the most hypocritical comments. Comm Shield doesn't matter/not important. Important enough for Rio and co to accept the punditry gig though. BT will not be happy with pundits trying to downgrade their coverage - merely because the media didn't get the result they wanted.

camelgob is a twat!

He was happy enough to win it when he was playing for the Govan despot at the swamp.
 
I've not watched the highlights nor have I read all 98 pages here so apologies, but just remembered the VAR think in the 2nd half for a potential red card, wth was it as no one around me had a scooby what they were looking at?

It was bizarre, we didn't even know it it was reviewing city or dippers for the potential red card, so when it said no red card we didn't know whether to be relieved or annoyed. If it wasn't on BBC I am assuming it was a Liverpool player as it a city player was reviewed for a red card it would have been mentioned and listed as an excuse for them not winning the game they didn't want to win.

Was a potential red card check for TAA on Bernardo silva. He left a bit on him as Bernardo cleared the ball which was nothing then went to give him a little kick as Bernardo was on the floor, was more of a flick than a kick and didn’t touch him.

Still a red card & clearly seen on the replay.

Just shows how VAR will be interpreted when it's a rag/dip.

Twice in the League Cup. Can't think of any more.

The two I was thinking of were Blackpool (97-98) at Maine Road and Brighton (08-09), but I've since been reminded of Doncaster (05-06) also in the League Cup. I was at the game and managed to scrub it from my memory.

Confusing, but as the ref was being barracked by reds i kinda assumed it was one of the dippers - but wholly unsure who.

Perhaps the screen should have also shown the tackle.

But as others have said, if this is how var - and many of the anti-city decisions given by the ref - is going to be applied, then we can expect more of the same City-bias as we've seen in recent years.

Especially when you consider that Pep had a legitimate complaint about players holding and going in with high feet / studs: getting a card for making a valid point to a match official, while letting blatant fouls roll the FA are showing that they are anything but neutral.
