Liverpool (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

I watched Northern Ireland v Slovakia and Greece v Scotland on Friday and Saturday. Bradley looked like that fixture was his level. Robertson still has a good cross on him though but he is slow. Liverpool might find a way to fix their forward line but their defence is beyond repair.

Their strong point under Klopp was their marauding full backs hitting diagonals to Salah and Mane. They’ve downgraded on replacements for Alexander Arnold who provided the ammo for the front line to thrive. Probably why Salah looks so out of sorts this season.

It's the sort of decision that pre-social media no one would even remember let alone be talking about the following week. Liverpool putting in their official complaint is one of the most pathetic spectacles I've seen for ages, worse than Arsenal doing a mural for their set-piece coach, and at least that was from an excited fan.

Even with all that they only managed to scrape one title, with slot at the helm they are going to go backwards like the rags did overspending on shite and every buy a panic buy as they try to appease their many foreign fans.

I think we all know how the neutrals are reacting. I sat next to three "neutrals" in my local on Friday and couldn't help listening in. One was a rag and, as far as I could tell the other two were Preston North End. The conversation started with the rag fan: "I don't care who wins the league as long as its not City, the cheats. I don't mind the scousers at least they are a proper club." Within minutes we had had the full City Bingo card and of course, as it always does, it ended up with casual racism when one said: "You can't trust Arabs can you? Foreign owners have ruined English football" That's what the neutrals in this country (and the media) think, and racism underpins all of it. It is the elephant in the room.

VAR Review: Why Van Dijk's Liverpool goal was disallowed, Doku penalty

Liverpool scored an equalizer against Manchester City. But why was it given offside for a player standing in front of the goalkeeper?
www.espn.co.uk www.espn.co.uk

"My initial feeling in real time was that this was offside. I was concerned with Robertson's position and action; allowing the goal to stand would have felt uncomfortable -- I'm sure this feeling mirrored that of the officials on pitch in real time."

Not everyone saying it was the wrong decision, like a huge sports network and it's var review column.

The three officials who were there, and their boss Howard Webb, all said Robertson was interfering with play as soon as he ducked. If he doesn't duck right in front of the keeper the goal doesn't happen. Then we have a four-day media storm (driven by LFC PR people) and the refs' panel do what they always do....cave in under media pressure. This is known as insitutional bias and it has always operated in favour of LFC and MUFC because they shout the loudest.

Has this Premier League Incident Panel ever made a statement on a decision before? I've never heard of them until now.

Apparently they only become "effectve" when a decision goes against the dippers, which due to their incessant complaining, requires moral support from a bunch of "experts" who are there solely to support and reinforce their "victim" status before the football world.

In effect, the official dipper victim support team for mardarses and cry babies

Four officials involved in the decision. Assistant VAR also chipped in to say it was offside.

We don't know who "the panel" was or their allegiances, and it might have been a 3-2 vote, with those saying it should have stood also saying that to disallow it wasn't a clear and obvious error.

And it's still 3-0.

Who is left for them to appeal to, because there must be a genuinely impartial body that knows they were robbed !

Correct. Although I'm not sure neutrals (maybe the media too) know 15 out of 20 clubs have a majority ownership outside the UK.
 
Funny how they are comparing the Van Dyke incident with the Bernardo incident against Wolves , pretty sure the vast majority of dippers thought the goal against Wolves should have been disallowed , so surely if they're being consistent it follows that they should also see the Van Dyke offside as being correct , only a massive hypocrite would possibly believe otherwise...
 
The game was a week ago we won 3-0, and played the dippers of the park. Nothing is going to change that fact onwards to Newcastle .

Yeah, loads. They meet every week to discuss the contentious decisions. It’s just that this one has been highlighted more.

I've had a good search and I can only find various newspaper reports about their findings on a few different incidents over the past few years.
You'd think it would make nore sense for them to have their own section on the Premier League website detailing what decisions they've looked at that week and how they came to their decisions.
At the moment it just seems like we only get to hear what their decisions are when the press ask about specific incidents. This would be a really good opportunity to clarify the decision making process and explain any contentious decisions but it seems like theyre hidden away.

I suspect this panel only investigates decisions affecting LFC or MUFC.
