Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

[Russ1201]

What "options" do they have apart from sulk?

Many because the FA are weak and get bullied all the time by the big teams LiVARpool, United and City.
I'm sure they will have plenty of dodgy decisions in the coming weeks to tip the balance again.
Bet they wouldn't be crying then.....

I think that is the crux of the matter and why they appear to be going out on a limb to make a massive drama out of all this. They know that the bias will be back in their favour when VAR or the ref have to make a marginal decision in future Liverpool games.

Nothing. They can send a strongly worded letter. They COULD demand the suspension of the officials. But thats it, They can ask for things and the FA/PL will do whatever they feel is the right thing to do.

Let’s see what they have to say about Sporting integrity when that happens…

But to be fair, VAR shouldn’t be giving Liverpool credit in the bank on future decisions. If anything, Liverpool was already in debt on this one. Saturday just started to even things up. Let’s call a clean slate and start using it equally for all teams.



Apart from Arsenal.




And Chelsea, obviously.

Come on everybody, I think we’re all forgetting who the real victims here are…

 

[Trix]

What can the PL do exactly without opening the floodgates of every team that lost a game where there was a controversial decision demanding justice?

The answer is nothing.

 

[dirtyh]

think anyone who puts the words liverpool and sporting integrity into the same sentence are asking for ridicule tbh.

offside goal - this is the ONLY issue from the game.
jones red - letter of the law (gusto), no issue. straight red for endangering the opposition, regardless of intent.
jota red - no issue, cumulative first yellow, clear second.

the offside call is bad but no worse than many other already this season and certainly not the worst we've seen (or even endured) over the years.

suck it up scousers. always the victim.

 

[easley91]

There was a quote lifted from one of their forums before the game along the lines of "Now that Kane has gone there aren't many players I dislike at Spurs and their new manager seems a good guy..."

Think that may change now, nothing worse than condescending praise from people who don't perceive you as a threat.

The funny thing is we have done nothing wrong in all this. We just happened to be the side who benefitted and played the game as any team should. This is between Liverpool and PGMOL.

Sheff Utd got relegated when Tevez scored a winner for West Ham. Tevez was found to have been playing illegally for West Ham. Did any games get replayed, did West Ham get relegated and Sheff Utd reinstated?? NO! That’s a lot fucking worse than an offside decision and I didn’t see this amount of media uproar then.

 

[Riandor]

The only sensible outcome out of this is to change the rule on not being able to overturn the decision. The fact that we took the free kick and then that's that is just daft. Can we not be grown up about it? The ref should have immediately re-stopped the match, got clarification on the mistake and explained the issue immediately to both managers. Award goal, play on. The whole thing is overblown and idiotic.

Like to think so but nothing would suprise me with pressure ftom Liverpool. I personally think the FA are weak and to soft on the bigger richer clubs.

Exactly. Can't be setting that sort of precedent just because Liverpool whinge and grizzle louder than anybody else.

 

[barry]

Spurs have now released a club statement.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Imo both reds were correct, the offside was a howler everyone knows that. MacAllister was lucky not to be sent off (pulled Richy back in the centre of the pitch when we were breaking)
Robertson was lucky not to go aswell with his dirty elbow on Porro near the end.
They got what they deserved.

 

[dvdhopeful]

Alternate timelines and all but I'd be fascinated, absolutely fascinated to see if the same media reaction had occured if this happened to any other team (except maybe Arsenal?) - feels like the media are well aware of the Liverpool fanbase and doing everything they can to stoke the already bizarre, irrational, cultist culture of their fans.

 

[Dougal]

This fails to take in account Klopp’s two footed lunge on a kid in the crowd, which, hypothetically, could also have happened had VAR correctly given the goal. Save the Multiverse of Madness for the MCU you whinging fuckers…

Wouldn’t they need the approval of the other Premier League clubs for anything too?

If that is the case, at a minimum Spurs, City, United, Chelsea and Newcastle would immediately tell Liverpool to fuck off.

Probably wolves also.

 

[aliyid]

Just sitting here waiting for them to come back with something like:

"While we would usually replay any game that Liverpool lose, Jurgen Klopp's impassioned plea for players to play less games has convinced us that the result needs to stand for the good of player health and safety"

This country really is full to the brim of insufferable little children.
