I think it was one of the single worst refereeing performances i have seen all season, and yet Howard Webb said he had a “good game”.
Oliver’s fuck ups changed the entire result of the game, may result in us getting EL football and not CL football and may alter the destination of the title...
agreed - and this is the thing - there is no price to be paid. He went home, will get paid, and faces no consequences or even questioning - he doesn't even have to face an interview and explain himself.
A ref having a bad day makes decisions that both sides can complain about - on Sunday, one...
has Gallagher ever said the ref made a mistake, VAR f***d it up?
ever?
its an old boys club, they protect each other. They have no integrity on the pitch so why expect any in the TV studios?
Salah wont get criticised similarly because Liverpool have won a few of those finals, whereas we have lost every final we’ve made since 2008.
Not necessarily fair, but there you go
I think we lost through a combination of things - they were clinical in attack, and we we were not, defending set pieces obviously, and every major ref decision went their way and against us.
All three reasons are true - it doesn’t excuse us shooting ourselves in the foot repeatedly, but...
I didn’t KNOW it was offside or marginal, I didn’t see anything in particular in real time, but just had a funny feeling, a 6th sense that they would try and find, something, anything to rule it out.
I jumped up, but i was subdued.
I was a huge supporter of VAR initially, because I thought...
I went to an event at Wembley a couple of weeks ago, with Howard Webb and Anthony Taylor - it was a corporate breakfast thing for the charity the Twinning Probject (https://www.twinningproject.org/ - brilliant charity BTW!!
The basic theme was that a referees job is very difficult and they can...
Just back from the game. Haven’t read anything that’s been said in this thread but my pennies worth
I dont know what Ange is on about, but defending corners is a big part of the game and we are not very good at it. It feels sometimes that conceding a corner is like conceding a penalty - stop...
I once took on an 11 hour flight with the score at 1-1 at HT at their place. Wi-Fi didn’t work (it was BA obviously) - the longest flight ever - sheer torture
we've been in the CL for 5 or 6 out of the last 8 years (?), even reached the final. We didn't really kick on, did we.
If I had any confidence that the additional revenue would used to buy those one or two players who could propel us from in the top 4 mix to actually winning the title, with...
It’s really quite a simple calculation - would be pleasure of getting 4th outweigh the grief of the goons winning the league.
and the answer to that question for me anyway is…….hell no!!!
