The fume is going to be delicious tonight.

Thought the Matip on Gordon was close. If it was given, no way VAR overturns it. The dive in the first half definitely swayed the refs decision.

The year 2022 of our Lord and Saviour Divock Origi.. what a man.
Carra going on about it was a penalty but ref. didn't give it because of the earlier dive. Sorry Carra but that doesn't jive - VAR would have asked the ref. to review if it was that straightforward. It wasn't - the push came as Gordon was falling before that it was 50/50.

It wasn't straight forward. But was one of those that doesn't get overturned if it was given.
 
Everton turned up with the Chelsea playbook..
Waste time

Any contact from Liverpool.. go down..

Game management right out the Lampard Chelsea playbook..

You can just imagine the Lampard team talk .

When I was at Chelsea.. yada.. yada.. yada. During the Gerrard slip game. . Yada yada yada

Her didn't cater for Divock in his team talk .

Everton will rue the day they injured divock..

The only Liverpool club legend that sent them down.

Club legend. Cult hero.. big game player.. Divock big cock origi..


P.S I don't want Everton to go down . I'm going to miss these games. [emoji16]

If that was the reason why they didn't ask for a review, they got it wrong. If there was a push - and there was - it should have been a pen.whether or not Gordon was already falling. Carra was spot on IMO.

Nope sorry. If there's a push as the player is already on the way down (and there was nothing before that ) - and in this case it was - then that is the reason the ref. didn't give it, and he didn't. I don't think any ref. would give it if the player is already on the way to ground.
 
Well, they should. It's a push, hence a foul requiring a direct free-kick, hence a penalty. "Already on his way to the ground" is just not relevant under the rules as they stand.
 
Gordon really was a bad with the diving but damn he's a good young player. Everton will want to keep him but I can see one of the top teams making a bid for him. Maybe even Dortmund would be a good career move as it's a good place for young players...How much is he worth in today's climate?

Of course it's relevant. There's pushing and shoving all over the pitch without FKs being given. Why should the penalty area be any different.
 
Froggy: it shouldn't. Fouls should be punished as per the rules - either that or change the rules. Players and managers would soon adapt. They'd have to.
 
Souness's comment on Divock not being good enough for this team leaves a bad smell in the room.

His hairy hands must have shaking with anger when he wrote this:



A question is whether that had any complaints that it wasn’t given. I think this was a 50/50 call and calling the ref over to review means that the committee clearly thinks a mistake has been made.

I think no complaints either way. If it had been Mané or Salah, I would be have upset, but not surprised. Happens almost every other game.
