You ask; "where to next". The answer is PiGMOL HQ where they will ensure suitably sympathetic refereeing for the dippers over the next few months.

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!!

I have to say, it is this reason why i am unsure why more goals aren't chalked off where a player is hanging about near the keeper. and i include goals given for us as well. Surely, in an instinctive and close range situation such as a save, just someone's presence is enough to be interfering.

i'm not going to be popular for this but i think, e.g., Silva's interference at Wolves was enough to chalk off Stones' late goal.

You are right, Silva's was also subjective.he wasn't in line at impact of the header by Stones, but his contact with the keeper, and movement would have meant if offside was the verdict I wouldn't have seen it as an obvious error.

Football is unique, luck or chance, plays a big part, mainly because teams are evenly matched, and the games are low scoring. This is the reason there are so many controversial moments and talking points.
 
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

But thats the thing i dont think it is a close call, there is a far more cohesive and ranging argument for not giving it then there is for giving it, its just that the dippers are used to seeing every single call go in their favour they cant wrap their heads around one not going even if it was 80-20 in our favour not to give it.

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.
 

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

All crying again on X over the panel ( probably ex dippers) saying it should have stood despite Webb saying otherwise. Gives them something to cry about and drag out to the anniversary of it.

Good.
The international break gives them another week to stew over it and cry even more.
Continuing to live up to their victim tag whilst whinging at being labelled victims without a hint of irony.

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 ..

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

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.
