The Football.....

You might get more sympathy and banter to your liking on a Liverpool fans forum or in the stands at a match? just a thought 🤷‍♀️

Hmmm, but not Salah’s handball?

It wasnt handball…..read the rules before commenting

You're probably having a go at the embarrassment there;

I keep him on ignore but it sounds like the same one. We used to have a guy sitting next to us (season ticket holder) who berated EVERY referee we ever had at Anfield. He'd claim we were being treated badly over every decision when it was obvious we weren't. Our seats used to be level with the penalty spot in the Kop goal and we were all fair minded (except for 'REFEREEEEE' as we all called him and if one of our players was offside, we'd see it and acknowledge it as such. REFEREEEE wouldn't, oh no! He'd scream endless abuse at the poor official and was convinced they were part of a conspiracy to deny us of our rightful place as supreme team in the known Universe. He's still in the same seat but we all asked for a move (me, Kop) to get away from him and his auld woman persecution complex.

Fair minded

I ASSUME the ref had read the rules before deciding not to send Kane off - or WTF do YOU think?

Handball has to be intentional, which that clearly wasn't and as he didn't contribute to the setting up or scoring of the goal, it is irrelevant.

Presumably an (old?) footballer as this is a football thread 🤷‍♀️

Personally I don't get especially het up about a game that's been played and done, all teams get good and bad decisions, have to deal with illness and injury. Move on, enjoy the next one (although that may not be for a while)

That’s as maybe ( perhaps a neutral would be the best to ask), but Liverpool’s penalty in the Champion’s League final - it wasn’t intentional, was it?

He had the rules when he handed robbo a yellow card too, but VAR decided he was wrong……every pundit interviewed after the game said it was a red card…even ex referree kieth hacket.

so please dont swear at me……

Yes it was…as different rules were at play at the time of the champions league final.

Flipping heck, what the flip is wrong with you?

Nothing…i just dont like being sworn at on a forum, its inappropriate

Yes......IMO a handball but the complicated rules say it didn't count.
Nothing complicated about Kane's red or our penalty claim.

I enjoy watching football matches in the here and now (and MOTD within 24 hours of the game happening)...I don't really care about past games and players. Why should I? The past is the past and in the general scheme of things ex footballers are pretty inconsequential IMO, it's only a game. I like to see particular teams do well, maybe that doesn't make me a "fan", but I don't really give a toss, I've always enjoyed watching football so 🤷‍♀️ Maybe it's the fit blokes running around in shorts

The Government may yet put the Kibosh on football this week, or at least fans going to matches whatever the PL may say. Boxing Day might survive, anything after far less certain. The ultimate decision isn't for the PL hierarchy to take

So you never watched football in the past then??? Just a recent thing is it……how long have you been watching???
