Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Harsh in my opinion but then Liverpool needed a bit of luck, they were not looking like scoring in that half.. Should be all Liverpool in the second half now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,186 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just to confirm, IMO it's a penalty and a red - it's just mad how Anthony Taylor can't seem to control a football match, just always seems to lose the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We need to stop bitching... The decision has been made and it won't change, why they continue to argue the toss is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tar-Mairon 93 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's a clear penalty and, therefore, a red. It's not that the ball bounced up onto his arm, it's his action after that. He pushes his arm into the ball and eases it away to stop it going in. Taylor did lose control of the players, despite making the right decision. It's amazing - he can control a life-threatening situation to contribute in saving a player's life but he can't control a couple of strops.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted August 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 28, 2021 That was fun. Situations like that should always be penalty but not a red for me. Only the egregious Suarez vs Ghana-type deliberate handballs should be a straight red. That one couldn't have been more accidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Still not seen it in slow motion but thought it bounced up off his leg first then hit his arm but will need to see it again... either way I expect Liverpool to go on and win this now..

carefreeluke 722 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Blatant penalty and according to the law it has to be a red. Think a lot of the commotion and frustration from our side, including the Chelsea fans is the harshness of the red card and not knowing the exact rule in those situations. I had to Google it myself. I’d been saying all half that James looked a bit suspect and it looks like that incident has cost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a reaction in a fraction of a second and it hit his arm straight of his leg... Ref didn't even watch the replay, pretty sure if that had been in the box and not on the line the decision would have been different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,094 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just decision, I suppose. I am a purist though, hate seeing everything decided via penalties and reds these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted August 28, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 28, 2021 When it comes to red cards, you should give players the benefit of the doubt where possible. The rules might say it should be a red but I care more about the spirit of the game and I think a penalty is enough punishment unless it's clearly deliberate. All of that shit happened at 100 miles an hour there. It's the double jeopardy argument for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it would have been a non-issue had he not made the swinging motion towards the ball after it hit his knee. Instinct to do it but he paid the price. It's the correct decision from Taylor. 10 minutes ago, Bluewolf said: Ref made the decision based on a freeze frame... what?? should have watched the whole thing surely.. Yeah not a fan of that. Same happened with Perez against West Ham. While it was a red-card, in the context of it all, the first image the ref sees is the ankle planted on the shin. Instead of the whole incident. Maybe it's a 'guideline' refs are now using to speed up decisions and if that's the case, I think it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,362 Posted August 28, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted August 28, 2021 Also, I'm not usually a fan of petty bookings but why was Salah not booked for blatantly kicking the ball away after the foul was given against him on Jorginho?
