Ref Watch

[Plain Speaking]

And that is why the rule is bollocks. I don't like when a goal is disallowed when someone is a mm offside when everyone with the naked eye thought it was on, and I don't like it when an offside is over-ruled for a mm when everyone with the naked eye thought it was off.

The pretence that it can possibly work to one mm with any degree of certainty is just staggering to me.

I get what you are saying, but sometimes enthusiastic/blind/dodgy linesmen have given blatant wrong calls, in the past, that have been so infuriating! Most officials these days seem to want us to lose, at least there's a higher degree of accountability?

I could imagine us being stitched up much more if it wasn't there? But I do accept we have also lost something eg when goals are scored can't fully celebrate sometimes!

Edit: Also it can depend what angle you view the incident from eg :

If KDB is in the process of kicking the ball and Partey deliberately puts his leg between the ball and KDBs leg it’s a foul a pen and a red card. Anything else is cheating by Oliver.

Perfect angle

Funny how the ref and VAR couldn't wait to give the tarquins a penalty at the Emirates when their forward clattered into Eddy..

1-0 to us at the time as I recall..

Of course everything is fair and above board, the cheating ****s..!

That pen was promised by Webb as part of his apology to Arsenal for yet another refereeing blunder on his watch at Brentford.

Perfect angle

i liked your post before i knew who had posted ,

Perfect angle

The perfect angle is cross-pitch, ie where the linesman is standing.

I take the point that if there is no VAR and no accountability, it may be easier to influence outcomes, but that is why a really independent performance assessment and a proper level of accountability is part of the solution.

Oliver made a more than few "questionable" decisions against Arsenal, to say the least! He was shockingly bad.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Don’t trust Madley.

He's Darren England Mark 2.

His VAR history this season makes interesting reading.

Perfect angle to see that goal as it looks off side with cross pitch angle you mention

From that angle Stones is also onside.

Why have you posted that six times on one page ? The pic of the non pen that is

To correct the stupidity of some

Can any of the amateur refs on here explain why Tierney only gave Jota a yellow for this (he could see the Spurs player coming the entire way and still raised his boot above his own shoulders and put it through their face)?

Yeah clear red card for me, don’t think anyone but a Liverpool fan would disagree. Even sky was unanimous in that.

Graeme Souness: That's a simple call... it was a red card

The Super Sunday panel were unaminous in agreement that Diogo Jota should have been sent off for a high challenge on Tottenhams Oliver Skipp

Probably generally why tonight was Souness’ last appearance, too often talking against the dippers and rags

 

[SouthernPlastic]

If that’s not proof of corruption in the game I don’t know what is, that’s beyond incompetence. Haven’t seen many worse decisions than that, probably worse than Man Utd’s offside goal against us.

They are an embarrassment. Consistently wrong decisions. Apart from not giving decisions against teams in red. On this they are consistent 100% of the time. Uncanny

You do know they’ll be asking for a replay of the 5-0 when Mane kung-fu kicked Eddie, “see laaa dats never beeeen a red”

I don't think they gave a red for this to even up the red that Skipp should have had in the first half ?
