That was bizarre, it didn't matter today but imagine 0-0 v the dippers and a ref did that ?Also, the one where Sterling was breaking over the halfway line and he blows cos one of their players had gone down clutching his face after trying and failing to foul Fernandinho

He did get Fernandinho's elbow slammed into his nose to be fair. Purely accidentally of course.Also, the one where Sterling was breaking over the halfway line and he blows cos one of their players had gone down clutching his face after trying and failing to foul Fernandinho

Completely agree if city have a big lead they always play a nominal amount of stoppage time almost like a kids game so the opposition don't get too upset. Ridiculous for a premier League game.The utterly random nature of added on time is one of my bugbears. 2nd half today there were two goals, 6 subs and the pen VAR farce took 3 mins yet they only added on 3 mins.
It was just as important today as it would be if we need an injury time goal against Villa to win the league on goal difference. There should be more accountability.

The VAR farce took 4 minutes 30 seconds on it's own (including whatever was discussed after we scored).The utterly random nature of added on time is one of my bugbears. 2nd half today there were two goals, 6 subs and the pen VAR farce took 3 mins yet they only added on 3 mins.

The second half was only 13 seconds old when the foul/decision was given, we kicked off again at 49:45 on the screen clock, so lose the 13 seconds to get the decision, and the couple of seconds between the whistle and the ball entering the net, it's 4 minutes 30, then add 6 subs, and another goal, and come up with 3 minutes ?

Utter joke. I know it didn’t matter yesterday but I also recall against stoke when we smashed em at home 4-5 years ago. Blew on 90 minutes. Rules are rules.The VAR farce took 4 minutes 30 seconds on it's own (including whatever was discussed after we scored).

Rugby league has a timekeeper, when the game stops the clock stops. Simples. Football is run by idiots.

You say it didn't matter, what about goal difference at the end of the season ?Utter joke. I know it didn’t matter yesterday but I also recall against stoke when we smashed em at home 4-5 years ago. Blew on 90 minutes. Rules are rules.

I think the ref seems to go into 'sympathetic' mode when we've knocked up four or five and we don't get the frees that the fouls should deliver, and the opposition seem to get a free every other time an innocuous tackle goes in.Completely agree if city have a big lead they always play a nominal amount of stoppage time almost like a kids game so the opposition don't get too upset.

Is it not Tierney behind all these pro-Liverpool decisions? He was the VAR today that let a penalty, and 2 red cards go, and the referee who refused to send off Milner in our game in October, and the VAR who didn't send off Fabinho in the game 2 weeks ago.

And yet many have described his " performances " as inept - no doubt PiGMOL will be well pleased with his failing eyesight.

Maybe not so much run by idiots , maybe being run by an agender . Stopping play , not adding enough time . A large percentage of goals are scored in the latter stages of games . If we lose the title on goal difference , then just think back to this tosser of a refRugby league has a timekeeper, when the game stops the clock stops. Simples. Football is run by idiots.
Is that right? I saw the replay (only once in fairness) and it didnt look like he touched him.He did get Fernandinho's elbow slammed into his nose to be fair. Purely accidentally of course.
I dont think it will happen, but imagine we lose the title on GD by 1 goal.The VAR farce took 4 minutes 30 seconds on it's own (including whatever was discussed after we scored).

Also, against QPR, imagine despite the Joey Barton farce if the ref (Dean?) had only added 3 mins
He's not the only one - OliVAR was ref at Anfield 2 years ago. But he may be the very worst.Is it not Tierney behind all these pro-Liverpool decisions?
