Michael Oliver to ref Liverpool v City - City lodge complaint

[davek1808]

How anyone can say the basketball player masquerading as a footballer Alexander -Arnold wasn't guilty of handling the ball is beyond me, for fucks sake he was indicating right while going left (not a natural position).

The first penalty claim: probably unintentional but you've seen them given, most famously for Liverpool.
The offside claim: probably too tight to definitively say either way.
The second penalty claim: ball flicked up onto his hand - not a penalty for me, but again you've seen them given.
The yellow cards: some blatant ones not given.

There's nothing there to say the referee had a terrible game, except for the fact that every "could have gone either way" decision went one way.

Sterling push claim? Also, after the second handball, did Allison wipe out a city player? obviously Sky didn't replay it

Third penalty claim: definite push on Sterling by Mane

Wiped out Jesus

Intention is one of the determining factors, as is the distance between where the ball comes from and where it hits. i.e. Could the player reasonably have moved his arm out of the way? I think it was a penalty, but you could make an argument that it wasn't for both of these reasons. It definitely would have been given in the Champions League though, which is another one of the bullshit inconsistencies we have to deal with.

intentional? - his arm movement outwards prevented the ball reaching Sterling

Once again, we do half the amount of fouls but get 2 cards... they got none.

That's us not getting a penalty then.

3rd post on the thread.

Its all so predictable.

He has his eyes focused on the ball, his arm is out and it stops the ball from reaching a free Sterling.

Anyone saying it isn't a penalty can get to fuck lol.
