Liverpool vs Manchester City - Premier League, 10th March @ 3:45pm

We were boss in the middle of the first half too btw.  

[Tommok]

Great performance.

We really should've won. 

Diaz was brilliant but really should've scored at least one of those chances.

And said Doku was very, very lucky.

Not only a pen, was straight red for the high foot

I expect another 'apology' to come our way

Be nice if Jurgen just gives the refs a s*** load of abuse after the final game 

He's got a load of ammo in his locker 

[dyl]

So fckn proud of ALL the lads today.

But, the ref, VAR, and PGMOL can get to fck.

[Angry Carroll]

Apparently it was "Unavoidable contact" according to VAR.

Can’t really knock him when he took half the side on again and again.

Sadio Mane got sent off for an identical challenge

He gave Oliver loads after the whistle

Between this, the spurs game and the Odegaard handball, these refs have had a huge impact on the title race. It’s a scandal. It really is.

Fun ref fact. Michael Oliver has NEVER been sent to the screen. The VAR is always lower down the food chain

Is this a fact? Interesting when you couple it up with Mike Dean admitting looking after his mates when he was doing VAR

Yep. The cumulative effect is absolutely enormous.

Yep dispatch Brighton and hopefully watch them play out a bad tempered draw. 

A bad tempered draw with many injuries and sendings off with both Guadiola and Arteta arrested for scrapping on the pitch with PEDs flying out of pockets and hitting the officials

To be fair, that's correct. Once the foot was that high it was unavoidable. Point is IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT HIGH TO START WITH.

No that's entirely fair - he did everything but score. 

Should've scored tho.

Yes, because he was f***ing karate kidding him in the chest. 

No anger aimed at you AC. 

[Hassony]

God how I hate Silva

...I'd celebrate for a week if someone shoots him

Everytime I would think get him off as he’s gassed, he would run past their whole team again. I’d he could finish like Jota we wouldn’t have been able to afford him so I’ll settle for being proud of him leaving absolutely everything out there.

I don't think it's accurate - but I believe he is sent to the screen far far less than any other ref, and it's been ages since he was last sent to the screen. PGMOL just making s*** up as they go along again with this "unavoidable contact". If he doesn't stick his boot far higher than he should, then there's no contact. Wonder how long it will be this time before someone is sent off, booked or concedes a pen from a similar challenge.

He’s thought he has with that one on one with the new keeper, b*****d didn’t curl enough for him

I was in the midst of shouting but it sounded like they did what they always do when it suits them. Start talking about how “oooh I think this is a penalty” then immediately say it’s an understandable decision once var cleared it. Might be wrong. I was shouting “c***” over and over. 

They were that f***ing clown on Comms........he's in trouble here.....ref will go to the screen.

No, fair challenge, good decision.....

[Swipe]

To not give that as a penalty when you see the contortions they do to give one for really really innocuous incidents kinda sums up what these c**** have done to football.

Yep. It's an insane excuse to defend a terrible decision. Looks very avoidable to me, don't kick people in the chest. Not hard to avoid. They just make s*** up.
