Silva had his shirt pulled quite clearly. I think I admitted that he went down easily to begin with but did still have his shirt pulled. That would have been soft. Jota's ran in to Guaita and gone down. It's definitely not 'more of a penalty'!

It's definitely not 'more of a penalty'! It wasn't a clear and obvious error so I don't think it should have been overturned and we're very lucky to get it. The reaction to two controversial penalties being given is interesting though.

Why can you say you're lucky to get it but if I say I think it wasn't a penalty (like everyone else here), it seems to upset you?
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 23, 2022 Subscriber Posted January 23, 2022 It isn't that interesting. The Bernardo one was a massive dive but at least he was technically fouled by having his shirt grabbed. Shouldn't have been a penalty either though. The one Liverpool got today is the type where you just look and go what sport even is this. It probably didn't even affect the result. People (mostly) aren't commenting on it out of bias or it being Liverpool, it's because it's yet another example of the concerning standard of officiating and shifts in decision making we're seeing in the Premier League since they started trying to use VAR.

As I say, interesting reactions to two controversial penalties.. Anyway, yet again the inconsistencies are an annoyance. Jota had a stonewaller turned down at Tottenham but gets the one today. Liverpool are probably two points better off if they get the one they should have done and not today's.

Imagine having a difference of opinion on a football forum ffs . Some of you get so precious about some things. There's probably been other times where I thought Man City shouldn't have had a penalty or should have conceded one. But nah, forget it. Can't win with some people.

You were the only one who thought so, if I recall correctly. Could just admit you were wrong.

I don't think it was at all. Like several others I might add. Why does it have to be a 'Man City or Liverpool' thing? Why is it only Liverpool fans that make it in to such a 'thing' as well. It's fucking unbearable.

MUFC Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Only watched the first half, it was a really good half with chances galore. Was the second half as good?

You're quite happy to excuse dodgy penalties for Man City but are straight in there when Liverpool get one.
Dave Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Lets not use words such as "more of a penalty" when talking about such a miscarriage of justice.

So it's absolute bollocks. 'straight in' . I didn't even see it til well after the game. I'll call things as I see it. There's been times where I've stated things in favour of Liverpool but you'll ignore that no doubt.

Danny Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 I think it’s very clear that Jota has angled his body at the last second to win the pen and that undermines the claim for a foul. I think if he doesn’t do that then there’s minimal contact and it doesn’t get given either.

Take Man City's latest dodgy sponsorship deal or them announcing a profit for the Covid hit period for example. Barely mentioned anywhere, not at all on here until I did. Liverpool get a game postponed though, outrage!

Don’t think Stan has made any secret that he’s not particularly fond of our club, but that doesn’t mean he has some agenda against the city of Liverpool like TAD always tried to make out. And even if he does hate our club and not City, who cares? Why does it matter? I hate Man Utd and have absolutely rinsed them over refereeing calls while staying silent on similar contentious calls for other clubs. I have grown up watching them win everything, and have everything go for them, and whether it’s the same with City nowadays my hate for Utd is already ingrained from a young age. We all grew up watching the same era of football. There was no City back then being dodgy cunts and winning it all, so people grew up to hate other teams like Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and our own team.
Dave Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Ive had the benefit of television angles now... Firmino was definitely offside as he impacted the play. Ox wouldn't have been given the freedom of South London if Firmino hadn't drawn Mitchell away from him. I'm not sure you could say the same thing about the Palace goal. The penalty decision as everybody's covered was absolutely atrocious. Kevin Friend had a mare today but he was hang out to dry by VAR as the freeze frame begins at the point of contact. Craig Pawson in the VAR booth has once again just shown why he's an absolute abomination to the sport. Overall though we were absolutely overrun and naive in the first half hour but we were good in the second half. It was just a game ruined by the officials which is very frustrating. The Olise head injury where Friend waited for Liverpool to lose the ball, the Benteke 'offside', you could even put a case that our goal shouldn't have counted. For a referee that's been in this league for 12 years Kevin Friend definitely doesn't inspire confidence.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 23, 2022 Subscriber Posted January 23, 2022 I honestly think the Liverpool Man City discrepancy is largely down to the fact that there's only one Man City fan on here and about 4 or 5 regular posters who support Liverpool. Someone says "that's not a penalty for Bernardo Silva" there's no City fans to argue about it and it doesn't escalate.

Yeah this. Hate who you want, don’t hate who you don’t want. It’s nothing personal and we’re all e-mates on here (or at least we should be)
Dave Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 On a completely unrelated note I never knew it was a phase in Liverpool at the minute to have your teeth really whitened. Every male that travelled by coach under 30 today seemed to have these big, straight, immaculate white teeth.
