Thanks Pep for calling out the ref (and Liverpool fans)

[mat]

My question is — shouldn’t Tierney be demoted for that display? If you’re too petrified to make the proper calls when they’re obvious, you shouldn’t be officiating at this level when the stakes are so incredibly high. Again, not saying he’s a cheat or even bad — but you can’t ignore fouls because of their possible consequences on the match. That’s what you’re there for.

That's why he was picked to ref it. He had no balls and Mike Dean was his usual cunty self off the pitch when Pep was kicking off. I'm surprised the useless **** didn't send pep off to keep the home crowd happy.

He did his job today and Dermot will back him up in the morning.

He is both a cheat and bad. But how is this any worse than Oliver's non call on TAA? It is systematic corruption and very likely tacitly encouraged by the FA. Every year we get screwed over at that cess pit. Just glad we got out of there with a point

Indeed. I'm convinced that's why Pep called this shit out today.

Henderson constantly telling the ref to "fuck off" ala Rooney.

Even the wife was screaming at the telly to give Milner a ticket (That's what she calls a card) :)

A scouser spitting at people?
Was his name Jamie by any chance?
Good lad Pep, we're always getting fucked over by these cheating referees so it's about time he/we called them out on it.

So are you saying Tierney was picked because he by design or order would ref to screw City, or was picked because he buckles to the home crowd and does so as a rule?

When a decision goes against Liverpool or United refs get called out for it. They are ridiculed in the TV and radio for weeks (sometimes months), their error is back page news for days.

Mike Riley apologises, they run the risk of demotion or being taken off games involving Liverpool or United (often the games refs aspire to be involved in).

Make a decision for Liverpool or United and its news for an hour or two, and then everyone shrugs their shoulders and moves on.

It's a situation that encourages refs to favour the twins.

Very true mate. I know one of the BBC football presenters and he says it’s ludicrous that refs are bias. They just don’t want to hear the truth.

Is it really bias though or corruption. I get how a ref can be swayed by a crowd but that doesn't stand up when there's a whole var team in his ear
