Aston Villa v Liverpool Match Thread

[mwake]

This referee is horrible, is their some history with this guy?

 

[Mojo]

How in the actual fuck is that a free kick for villa?

 

[Judge Jules]

I don't actually think Atkinson's biased against us. What he is is an appalling referee who routinely chickens out of potentially controversial calls against home teams.

 

[HC]

What's the difference between an error and a clear and obvious error?

That penalty ..

 

[FreshRed]

Simulation gets yellow carded and was always more likely simulation than a foul

I’m ok with no pen, but yellow should be rescinded. VAR can’t do that though without calling a foul. Should be appealed to League after

He’s a fat cunt. I might have mentioned this before.

That was a pen for Salah.

Is it not Moss refereeing?

 

[Markeh]

Come on mo

 

[Modo]

Salah should have buried that

 

[FoxForceFive]

Nah defo went for that , went searching for it , not surprised by that

It doesn't matter! A foul is a foul, whether the player rolls & starts crying genuine tears or whether he shrugs it off.

Still a foul.

 

[bobtkelpie]

For God's sake, Mo...

 

[mwake]

oh my god Salah!!! You should bury that ankle problem or not.

 

[Judge Jules]

Is it not Moss refereeing?

Atkinson's today's VAR.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Milk after or in with the bag?

After. Obv.

 

[HC]

Still a foul.

What ? It clearly looks like he is diving , clearly.

Most referees would have given villa the freekick , he is absolutely loooking for it and trying to simulate

 

[MomoWASright]

What. A. Fucking. Miss.

We will convert one of these in the second half.

 

[FoxForceFive]

What ? It clearly looks like he is diving , clearly.

Most referees would have given villa the freekick , he is absolutely loooking for it and trying to simulate

Of course he is.

But, crucially, he was also FOULED. A foul in the box is a penalty, last time I checked.

 

[FreshRed]

Robertson’s first touch is sublime

 

[Red Mullet]

What ? It clearly looks like he is diving , clearly.

Most referees would have given villa the freekick , he is absolutely loooking for it and trying to simulate

Mane was so looking for it.

He’s not at the races today.

 

[SummerOnions]

Honestly shite passes from the middle to the final third

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Atkinson's today's VAR.

He's bottled those two calls. They spent ages trying to prove Firmino was off. I agree he's not biased, just shit.

 

[FreshRed]

Mané’s passing is horrific

 

[FoxForceFive]

City still behind at half time.

 

[Farkmaster]

I'm much more annoyed at our lack of any genuine alternatives in attack, than I am with the ref right now.

 

[HC]

Of course he is.

But, crucially, he was also FOULED. A foul in the box is a penalty, last time I checked.

Why are you ignoring the obvious ?

Mane literally tried to cheat , the referee didn't see his foot getting trod on or whatever he saw mane chasing a ball and leaving his standing leg, it's clear as day a dive

You and others on here would be frothing if villa got a penalty for that

 

[moron]

We need to win this, also cannot take it if we lose to Villa, it just confuses me.

 

[mwake]

Honestly shite passes from the middle to the final third

Our long range passing is generally really good but out short/medium range passing this season has not been as good as last year

 

[Shay_K]

COME ON YOU RED MEN

 

[FoxForceFive]

He's bottled those two calls. They spent ages trying to prove Firmino was off. I agree he's not biased, just shit.

It's infuriating watching them move the lines exactly where it proves the decision when you can see there's enough leeway to prove it either way. Hence the reason the lines are about ten pixels fucking wide.

He went looking for it but was still fouled before he went down. That makes it a foul. Even if the ref saw it as a dive VAR should be able to correct it
