To bring it back to Liverpool, though, don't let the fact we won yesterday deflect from the referee's poor decision to not award us two blatant penalties, especially the one where Solano armed the ball away from going over the line. As blatant a penalty as you'll ever see.

To be fair, it wasn't really much more obvious than Knight's handball at the other end.

 

Just down to Poll being his usual indecisive self and not making big decisions if he can possibly avoid it.

 

Really, can you see him giving him a penalty 5 minutes from time which can level the match up against Chelsea when he's not given them a penalty for a similar thing and has since realised that he's probably got that decision wrong?

But he didn't go at it like a volleyball player!

 

As for Solano's, his body was behind his arm, so would probably still have stayed out...

a) You're on one if you think that was the most blatant in the game.

 

b) Your memory isn't much

Knights handball was dubious though, the referee/linesman might have judged the ball to have beenover the line. The ball was going nowhere, there was no danger whatsoever, so for Knight to handle inside the area at that moment would be incredibly stupid. That might make the referee think that the ball must be over the line.

Incredible stupidity was the only thing that saved him

A mate of mine who doesn't follow football much anymore but knows the game watched MOTD with me last night. After watching the Chelsea match he made the comment "Ahh since the sky thingy I see football has gone all WWF"

Hard to argue.Once you're in the special group of the top 2/3 decisions come your way. Just got to get there as I'll happily go along with such decisions when they go our way but it's a pain when it doesn't .

That Terry decision and his excuse afterwards was a total joke. That ref should be banned from prem games for a year as it was totally crazy. If we come second this season with around 9 points difference then it's refs that have cost us.

 

:angry:

A Chelsea player had a crystal clear handball right outside his own penalty area. Poll stood one meter away and could not have missed it. Still, he didn't give Fulham a free kick (can't remember the player, though, but it was close to the end of the game).

 

I dread the refereeing tonight. We're gonna get kicked back to the stoneage and Poll won't do anything.

 

My hope is for Momo to go nuclear and really show the sh*te who's boss out there.

Crouch and Gerrard should both have been off on Monday so we don't really have much of a right to moan about match officials.

If Crouch's goal had not been given it wouldn't have been the worst decision by a linesman ever either - it was an incredibly good and entirely accurate call, but much more obvious goals have not been given this season.

for a shove each? don't agree. it was what gerrard said, handbags. if any fists were thrown or hands raised to faces then yes, but a bit of pushing and shoving doesn't warrant a red.

If they had both been sent off it wouldn't have been a surprise though. I thought the ref got the whole situation spot on apart from the straight red for the racist-thug. Which is my point - he could have got it horribly wrong and sent Gerrard and Crouch off. They gave him the justification to make that decision and someone like Poll or Rennie would have.

It's not just the top 2/3 who get the decisions though. Look at Riley completely missing the handball by Baros for Villa's first goal against Everton. It was absolutely scandalous, he was directly in line, watched Baros bring it down with his arm and just ignored it.

 

Seems it isn't just Utd who can buy him these days, allegedly of course, it could be he is just completely incapable of doing the job.

Got to say I laughed my c**k off when I saw Milan do that. He used to do it for us all the time (mostly outside the box - going towards the touchline)
