Match Threads Spurs vs Liverpool - Match Day 7 - 30th Sept KO 5:30pm

[Westmorlandspur]

They've put out loads. They definitely put one out when Wolves were denied a penalty against ManU on opening day, and there are more that I can't remember the details of off the top of my head.

The ref today was Hooper who did not send off Onana in that game. Made up for it today.
The cock up with offside made it even better, especially when it’s Liverpool.

Anyone fancy listing all the unlucky, unjust things that have gone against us over the years against Liverpool so I can be ready with my response when pool mates start moaning?

One that nobody seems to talk about is their last minute win a few years ago when Henderson shoved Dier over at a corner and man he was marking scored. {yeah i know some of you are going to turn this into a Dier snigger, but whatevs]

When you're belittling someone's intelligence it helps not to make glaring spelling mistakes.

How many times did you check this before you posted it?

 

[Misfit]

About sums it up. You know my thoughts on VAR, it's not lessened the awful calls IMO and now there's no excuse for them.

However...

I don't really think Hooper can be blamed for any wrong decisions today. It isn't he who gets the offside wrong and I think pretty much every card of every colour is justifiable.

I can't help thinking if we had been on the receiving end of that VAR error there would have been none of this bollocks spouted.........it would have been Oh mistakes happen

I honestly don’t think they would of mentioned/shown that offside again. it wouldn’t even be a thing. We’ve seen a couple of spurs games where it’s been close and there’s been no lines drawn and nothing gets mentioned. how many wrong calls get swept under the carpet by a biased sky production team.

 

[Navin R Johnson]

POTY candidate....

I hope he had a bet on that.

 

[sundanceyid10]

Surely the match winner Matip....

What a finish he gave the keeper no chance, top corner, bang.

 

[cwy21]

Fuck Liverpool. Yes they got fucked by the VAR. But fuck em anyway.

 

[King of the Lane]

 

[spanners]

The camera we all saw wasn't in line with play also we can't see what var sees so it was disallowed. So what.

 

[Finchyid]

Of course it was. But most pundits are completely ignorant of the laws of the game.

Redknapp, carragher and Neville…what a surprise

 

[faymantaray]

Just before the winner the ball had been towards the other end. We broke into a little bit of space. Neville says "oh no" when we were 30 yards from goal. He was so invested in them hanging on.

Redknapp talking so much shit as well.

So fucking sick of these blinkered ex-players hanging around the place. Go enjoy your money somewhere else.

Simon hooooooper you're one of our own

 

[Nayim60yards]

Scenes in my family home as that deserved winner flew in. I love this team and their relentlessness. Woah woah woah it's Matip, you know, he's just gone and scored an own goaaaaal!

 

[XIIIMPC]

Lol I actually think winning game this way was better than trashing them 4:0 or something. Fck them, they act like they are choosen by god.

For the truly vile teams, this is very often true. If we thrash a good side, that makes us look really strong. But when you cheat to win against a vile team, it's not just about us looking good or feeling good, it's about them feeling bad. Dirty, savage revenge. It's so good.

 

[Johnny J]

It's absolutely fucking hilarious how fast the PGMOL got that statement out, simply because it's Liverpool. They couldn't wait to apologise. Liverpool, always hard done by, even when every fucking other VAR decision goes their way.

Last week Nketiah should have had a red on Vicario; didn't see any PGMOL statement then.

 

[Tucker]

Oh and about VAR. I dont get comments that if even with VAR there are still mistakes we should get rid of it. Of course even with VAR mistakes still happen as there are still people behind it. But the number of major mistakes droped massivly with VAR. Most of red cards are catched, offsides, hand balls. Its not perfect but its still much much better than without it.

Needs better people operating it, the standard of refs is poor, and the numbers of refs joining the game are low too. Today was obviously a huge fuck up, human error happens, but that was really bad. Getting rid of VAR would be throwing the baby out with the bath water though.

What needs overhauling is PGMOL. More transparency, better training, better wages and proper investment. There’s enough money swirling around the game, and the game can’t happen without them.
