Liverpool (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

I, and a fair number of other BM posters, including Toffeedude ( our lovely resident Everton fan) have maintained all this week that was the plan. There is absolutely NO WAY that any Dips goals are being disallowed again this season and watch the number of pk they are awarded increase significantly whilst there will be none awarded against them. It will become a quiz question because it will be as rare as a Preston Guild. Jesting aside, they do seem to have remarkably few pk awarded against them, I really can't recall any!!
If you go back 7 seasons, they are either bottom of the table for pens conceded or close to the bottom.

With one exception! Season 20/21 when no fans were present!
 
Copied from Law 11

a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball

Freeze the action at the moment Van Dijk heads the ball, and Robertson is standing immediately to the left of Donnarumma. I think that Robertson's position at the moment Van Dijk heads the ball affects the ability of Donnarumma to challenge for the ball.
Ah, but did Robertson interfere with the movement of the opponent towards the ball? Stick to the main section of law 11, where Robertson was making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball. The only debate is in the word "clearly", and now that Webb has given the Liverpool complaint the bum's rush, who's bothered?
 
Pretty sure that's one of those made-up quotes that gets posted on social media, and then spread around and taken as gospel. I'd be amazed if he actually said that.
Yea, although the second sentence ("That is an embarrassing decision, really, really embarrassing."), is extremely on brand for neville (at least when the subject is City in a big game), so seems a reasonable blag

Don't remember this much fuss during the coach wrecking champions league quarter final , when Salah's goal was offside but allowed , then Gabriel Jesus got one which was onside but ruled off and then in the Etihad leg , Milner clearly played a back pass which Leroy Sane latched on to and scored , again wrongly given offside , that's 3 decisions that went in their favour , imagine the meltdown if three decisions went against the scousers ...As pointed out , it's the old bacon face tactic , create enough of a fuss and referees will think twice before awarding anything against you in future ..
 

Well, we still win. Cry us a whole river — build a dam, generate electricity from the tears if you must!​


I've read the City Xtra bit and my head hurts ffs.
So they said the goal should stand, but VAR were right to stay out of it???????
And they wonder why supporters feel the game has lost it's soul
 
At most this was a close call and could have gone either way, but for once it went our way, but more than that it was against the dippers, so it has gone from a close call to a grave injustice, on a national scale. If this was any other teams (other than us v rags) it is just a close call that could have gone either way
If we benefit from a 50/50 decision against anyone it’s media jerkfest, we rarely get anything so it’s quite rare. As Pep always says we win in spite of officials, other teams win because of them
 
Oh you little tinker lol
The only one I have remembered was during covid 2021 - when again they were putting up a valiant title defence * now I really do jest and Burnley were awarded a pk at an EMPTY Klanfield and went on to win 1-0.

I'm obviously not invested in the Dippers, but in general I do have a fairly good memory but I do really struggle to know of pk awarded v them to any other teams. Obviously when we do get one, the last 3 we have missed!!

Robertson was holding GD less than 2 seconds before the ball hits the net. There’s not a single media organisation or referee that has pointed that out & yet that’s the view the linesman has.

Clear & organised.

Thats always been the thing with the cartel teams they are that used to being reffed in their favour they actually see being reffed fairly and within the laws of the game as a bias ref whos against them.
3-0 Fk off
 
It's now 23.46 on Friday night 6 nights after the game and there is a full section on sky sports news about the dissallowed goal.....fucking hell
 
I still dont get why the arguments still going on, Robertson ducks out the way, if he stays standing then the ball hits him, so ducking is an impact on the play, had the shoe been on the other foot, we wouldn't hear a thing after 7pm last Sunday
Yep. Its as simple as that. Ive said the same thing to Dipper fans since last week when they say he wasnt interfering with play.....why did he have to duck then?
