Premier League 2016/17

Mike Dean with us, the amount of penalties we've got this season etc...
I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong but maybe we just care/notice more cause they're our rivals?

The only questionable decision Mike Dean has given in our favour this season was Reid's red card, and even then there's legitimate arguments to be made for either case.

Costas 2 or 3 missed second yellows that were game changers
Rojo should have gone 2 weeks in a row, again game changers. West hams red against them, game changer.
Arsenal X 2 burnley, Southampton snd basically whenever they need digging out of a hole against a team outside the top 10
Yes we get the odd decision but it's a bit simplistic to say the officials are just fucking useless. The sky 4 bias has been in place for years and yet we're discussing the same old shit season after season. Anyone who says there isn't an element of bias for the top teams doesn't watch a lot of football

Both Liverpool goals yesterday, the penalty they got at WHL this season where Firmino tripped himself up...

The defender doesn't even make contact with Koscielny's head/face, his boot catches his shoulder after Koscielny has headed the ball. Koscielny then throws himself on the floor clutching his face.

I've not seen that picture before but you can see by the angle of his head that bastard Koscelny is deliberately head butting that boot, bastard.

Anybody thinks the action to get such serious injury off the field abit slow??

No, the most important thing is to assess the extent of both the injury and examine to see if there are any others. Act too quickly you could do even more damage.

Thanks for proving my point.

You've heard of perspective, right?

Not taking a side in this debate but if he annals of sports history have taught us one thing it's that no sport or league is incorruptible or immune from cheating. From the World Series to the Olympics to cycling, to European football matches in years gone by, tennis, snooker, cricket etc etc the message is clear - a sport or a league is only devoid of corruption until it isn't.

There's a few things I still can't explain away like Chelsea's batch of offside goals and penalties about 3-4 years ago, allied alongside and happening at the same time as Adebayor goals that were about ten foot onside being chalked off for offside etc.

And that keeper who mysteriously threw 3 balls into his own net on the last day of the season against Arsenal.

But hey ho. It's been a while since I've read a DAVSPURS rant about peds as well. Haven't read that Spooky blog in a long time

Uh, what, sir?

I have a degree in graphic design. I understand perspective.

Good for you. So you'll understand why, when a couple of frames earlier the ball was between Koscielny's head and the defender's foot, there is no contact in the frame you just posted. Just because two objects are overlapping in a 2d view, doesn't mean they are touching in a 3d space.

Rawk levels of delusion.

No, just physics.

It's less pixelated, yes.

Here is the contact, on Koscielny's shoulder.

Mason in a bad way after his collision with Cahill apparently.

Hope he makes a full recovery soon.
