Ref Watch

[asahartford1]

Thought he was alright personally.

It wasn’t a penalty and I can’t remember being too annoyed with anything.

I did throw the remote at mrs Asa when Foden got penalised when an Everton player rugby tackled him.
Didn't worry you though)

 

[deano ou812]

The Bernie one was nailed on he kicked his foot which would clearly have shown HAD they reviewed it
The question is why didn't they

Exactly why didn’t VAR take a look and if it did why did it not alert the ref to go to the monitor,ffs even Neville called it as a pen it fucking stinks,must be some sort of betting scam not to award pens in certain games,cause that’s a few games now ( this season)we have been denied stonewall pens ..

I didn’t have a remote mate, as I was at the game.

Likely because they knew they'd have to give it, having "got away" with one, until we know what is actually said on their intercom, it will never be fair.

Excellent.
I am in Spain.
But back next week and will see you at Villa and Newcastle away-)

The Silva penalty claim was bizzare.

Keane clearly kicked his foot and not the ball but nothing given even after it had been reviewed. Ridiculous decision

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Just one question , If Salad gets fouled at Klanfield in a similar situation to Sterling does that decision even go to VAR ? We ALL know the answer. In fact including the Bernardo and Mahrez challenges Salad would have the match ball for three nailed on penalties.
We earn every title we win , the Dippers have theirs gift wrapped in comparison.

Unlucky you bent twat.

His pals in the VAR booth are even worse.

Steady on, they've only had 1.

Re Sterling's penalty. We are attacking and Sterling's running into the box, after a var review, 3 minutes later they give Everton a free drop ball !!!.
So if Attwell hadn't given a wrong decision (allegedly) we could have gone on and scored and yet Everton benefit. Surely its a contested drop ball or even given back to us.

Yep and because we have won swept under the carpet like most of the bad decisions against us. Any other team today would had at least 2 pens.

You think it was reviewed?

It wasnt reviewed , ratboy said if it had been looked at it was a pen , this is where we get shafted

It’s so blatant yet it happens in front of the nation, week after fucking week. Nothing ever said or done about it. Will it be covered in motd2 tonight? Will it fuck

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Salah DIDN'T get a pen late on yesterday for a blatant dive with minimal defender contact...

...just saying.


Don't really know what I think of Sterling's "penalty incident" today.

Defender makes an attempt to make a tackle. Makes no contact with the ball. Obstructs without (much) contact.
Letter of the law it's an indirect freekick on the edge of the area.

But, it's not a deliberate dive (he just loses his footing under pressure as he's forced wider due to the challenge), but not really much of a foul either; just a light arm on the shoulder and the whiff of a thigh bump.


Truly bizarre how far VAR goes to find the angle that "shows" no contact though, and....

Angle 1 "looks like contact was made"
Angle 2 "looks like contact was made"
Angle 3 "looks like no contact was made"

Why does the view of angle 3 now become the most important angle when every angle shows a somewhat "subjective view" of the incident ?

It’s nothing to do with betting.
It’s pro united
Pro liverpool
Pro usa
Anti Arab

The media’s, and therefore the premier league’s, interests are vested in the red usa clubs

Because it wants to.
