One of the most obvious misuses of the laws is in the interpretation of a 'clear and obvious error' by the referee.

Take two recent cases. Salah's penalty - immediate decision made by the referee, it was a penalty. The incident is then reviewed by the VAR. Dias did make contact with Salah, but was it enough to cause him to fall? Maybe, just. But even if he made the most of it, there isn't enough there to say the referee made a clear and obvious error, so the penalty stands.

Jesus against Burnley, when he was kicked on his ankle by the defender. No penalty given, play continues. VAR looks at replays whilst play is ongoing. There was a kick, but maybe the referee saw it and decided it's just not enough to deserve a penalty. Therefore it is not a clear and obvious error, so the original decision stands.

So whilst VAR was introduced to make things fairer for everyone, it obvious that it can be manipulated to benefit or disadvantage certain teams. And the likes of Walton, in the studio, just back up the referee with their original decision. They know that they can never be wrong, because what was designed to create a level playing field, is suddenly a victim of subjectivity. It's all about opinions!

We see in a 50/50 situation, with one team winning comfortably against opponents reduced to ten men, send off the player to send them down to nine men. Don't even think of giving the benefit of the doubt to the team that is already six goals and one player down. Oh, and when the decision is eventually found to be wrong, don't think about punishing the attacker for deceiving the referee. Other instances of subtle corruption ad infinitum.

contact is allowed and using your arms to feel and steady yourself is also allowed
diving and cheating is not ? have you ever seen somebody losing his legs and fly in the air without making a tackle
well mo salah does it ? he evens screams in pain like he has broken his leg like David Busst of Coventry city

You can swap keeper with outfield player as long as it is during a stoppage. So in this instance, you would tell the ref Ederson is coming out of goal & Walker is going in. They would have to change shirts obviously. Once Ederson scores you tell the ref that they are swapping back or if Ederson misses/saved at next stoppage.

Yeah, you can do that, but we surely were talking about the goalkeeper himself going upfield to take a penalty. It happens occasionally, and if he misses, he just had to leg it back to get back in goal, and hope the opposition don't get the ball past him.

picture ederson hitting the ball very hard for a pen, keeper gets in the way he is going to be injured or end up in the net with the bal. If ederson does what we are good at and skies it, we will need a new ball because of distance / damage caused. The issue would be if he hits the bar or the post

Put someone else in goal while he takes it.

Has anyone seen the incidents for us again, that weren't given?

Foden not getting a pen on the cross, looked like something that would at least be looked at by VAR but they never even mentioned it AFAIK. Then the Stones offside, probably was offside but where the fuck were the lines? Was it that obvious that they weren't even needed? Dias got a yellow for "pulling" Salah, but Fabinho didn't get one for purposefully putting his leg out to try and stop Sterling, he got a yellow later on Foden so that would've been a red.

Some teams do well with yellow cards in that they get a finger wgged when others are actually on the receiving end. Yer right, shev - no difference in the fouls, apart from the fact that Dias didn't, and Fabinho would have had a one-matcher, which he gets away with!
 
Comedy Gold over at RAWK:

You mean getting shanked weekly by bent referees, the massive bellend-ery of the media looking the other way, or the greatest injury decimation in club history?

How do you resolve stuff like this --- that is so clearly out of control --- while Man City walk free after a major charge of cheating?

This is our culture. Someone is sending a big big message to our club and owners --- and we should pay attention to it and resist the fuck out of it.

Watch people start going after Klopp now... In some small twatteratti universes they already have.

Nothing wrong with our club. There is something going on here --- important people want to see the club humiliated.
 
The Times podcast on Feb 1st were eulogising Liverpool's two wins against West Ham and Spurs. Wurzel Rudd giddy all through and other journo's happily gushing about their 'so-called' crisis being well and truly over and being back on track for the title. Can't wait for the next episode.
