Ref Watch

Well it’s not a very good smokescreen as it follows a very lengthy review of the non sending off incident in the same game.

I used to read the guy's weekly reviews, but I gave up after the Rashford non-offside. If I want to listen to stupid reasons for decisions made I can listen to Dermot Gallagher.

I do see he is referring to the "independent" assessment panel a lot these days as though it's some sort of august body. He should mention who is on it and who appoints them first. The PL has a weird idea about independence it seems.

Thats every away fan’s opinion, watch him get smashed five times and then go apoplectic with rage when he goes down easy the sixth time.

He has built himself a reputation as someone who gets "fouled" a lot - he needs to stay on his feet more

It's hard not to get a reputation as someone e that gets fouled a lot when you get fouled a lot.

It's also quite easy to get a reputation as someone who goes over at the slightest touch when you go over at the slightest touch
 
Seeing my comment has been deleted in the VAR thread I will stick it here. It seems they have a tendency to alter their own rules during the season

At least he gets touched - some teams have players that go over at nothing, but we prefer to complain about ours even thought they're being fouled. Bizarre.

Don't prefer to call out ours....but to not to when we all call out the likes of Salah would be hypocritical

Abso-fucking-lutely!

Also, nice frame selection.

They tell us that "sometimes" it's difficult to find the correct frame to choose, given the frame rate available for the technology, which often means that the point of contact with the ball is between frames, YET look at that image!

The foot is blurry, but the ball is almost certainly round and NOT blurred at all. Next frame the ball will also be blurry. How convenient that they chose the earlier frame for the cheating rag twats in a VERY tight offside call!

It's complete and utter BOLLOCKS, how ANYBODY can be so gullible to believe that it's all above board and not open to "unintentional bias" is completely beyond me.

He's offside, AGAIN!

They will push the rags to the title this year, thats how bent it is. Are they really going to tell us the table doesn't lie at after they've achieved that.
Football is courrupt and needs bring down.

I remember before VAR a ref (moss?) getting caught on camera saying "what does the TV say"? Or something like that before sending off a scouser.

From memory they said he was confused and there was no TV. If they lie about that, it's not a big stretch that they lie about anything to do with the way they operate.

Liverpool v Spurs… Penalty for Spurs

We call him out for blatant cheating, not getting genuinely tripped.

Greliahs doesnt always genuinely get tripped...he goes down at the slightest touch at times and anyone who cant see that has got the blue blinkers firmly on

Yes he gets fouled....and gets fouled a lot BUT he also makes a meal of a lot of things and goes down way too easy....and also goes down when there is zero contact or certainly not enough to make a grown man fall to the floor - just like Haaland at weekend
 
Difference is there are players who are still get away that. The commentators just mention it as being clever with the contact.

As I already said ..he gets fouled loads of times and doesn't get a free kick for it..so know he makes it blatantly obvious to the officials he's been fouled...
Nowadays every player that feels contact goes down..it's not great but it's the way the games become..

Doesn make it right even if its our players are doing it....David Silva, Aguero - 2 who would make every effort to stay on their feet despite heavy tackles. David Silva got kicked more than any other player Ive ever seen (including Grealish)

It all started years ago when you constantly heard commentators saying the line "he's entitled to go down" or something very similar - no he is not!!! Players should use their skill/athleticism etc to stay on their feet......not fall down at the slightest touch.

Haaland at weekend needs to have a long hard look at himself....back your self and go through on goal - not throw yourself over cause someone touched your shoulder!

Why carnt players go down if fouled ? Just because someone goes down easily doesn’t mean they have not been fouled and depending on the circumstances it’s better to go down and get a free kick than stay standing and loose the ball or not get the free kick
