Never ever a pen. Ever.

Watch MOTD agree with me tonight.
Some might say almost as soft as the one Havertz won for his outrageous dive at home to the Mancs in the FA Cup eh ?
I’m sensing a hatred of your own club sunshine. It was never a penalty. Simple as that.
Don't be a cock or a WUM. Just pointing out that you get soft ones and also concede soft ones. Your loyalty to your own team is blind- thinking it's only ever us who have injustices to deal with. Go speak to a Bournemouth fan, you know the team officially confirmed as having the most incorrect decisions against them. When it costs them a place in Europe maybe listen to their fans and then see if you think it's only ever us

So you thought Havertz diving was OK?
Just because we got a soft “one” doesn’t excuse a dozen dodgy ones. What other decisions have we got this season? I’m all ears.

Two matchwinning crosses Tierney has put in since he's been on
Isnt that a fact - I accept tierney's injuries have had a big effect on his time at the club, but it is a crime against football to have zinchenko ahead of him when he was fit to the point that he was fcuked off on loan. The cone boy wanted his old favourite from his citeeh days and wanted to play this inverted bollox, and it has handicapped us instead of helping us - a quality striker in this team would see tierney have some amount of assists

Said already that I dont give a shit about the result and I stand by that - I want the league mathimatically over in next 2 weeks so our players wont have to give the scouse c.unts a guard of honour in scouseland and that is the best we can hope for now
Tierney is the best crosser of the ball in the league. He makes chances every game he plays.

So strange how the subs completely wrecked the balance. Odegaard once again getting a nose bleed anytime he gets close to goal.

An article from October 2024. :coffeespit:

I wouldn’t have bothered if I were you. Embarrassing. :lol:

Anyway. What’s the relevance of yellow cards when we get a load of dodgy reds. :lol:

I give up. The article was published at a time when fans like you were going on and on and on about all the injustices that were supposedly stacked against us.

Fans like you are why we are laughed at and called deluded. You know if it makes you happy that the sole reason why we're 11 points behind and out of all the domestic cups, and unlikely to win anything again, is all down to the fact that every single PL ref hates us, is biased against us and if they weren't we'd be quadruple champions then carry on believing.

Kiwior was an utter c.unt for the build up to the penalty and had jack shit to do, so some no mark bint gives him MOTM

Awful reffing throughout

This is the modern day PL and gets harder to like with every passing game
Bit harsh. I thought he was decent and you won’t find a better back up CB in the PL. Not sure why he ducked under the long ball that led to the pen but this is what happens with limited game time. Still think MLS should’ve let it go. Harrison is not exactly Sala and would’ve most likely fluffed the shot

Absolutely. I struggle to watch it at all. I've gone from watching almost every game years ago to now watching only our games and tbh I struggle to watch us now too. It's gone to shit mostly.
I’m at that stage now.
To be honest to watch our games now I have to be pissed in the pub to make sure I can watch the full 90 minutes :D

If there was VAR in that round of the cup the Havertz penalty would have been (rightly) overturned 100%.

There was VAR there today however to laughably rubber stamp that decision, there was VAR at Wolves to ok MLS getting sent off in a decision so bad the whole football world revolted against it. There was also VAR who were ok with a penalty being awarded for a clash of heads for the first time ever in the history of the game and there was also VAR when Howard Webb text his mates at Bournemouth.

Name me a single cluster fuck of a decision on par with any of those that’s gone against Liverpool this season. Just one. They’ve played 30 games so it should be fairly simple to rattle off a half dozen examples if the refs are equally shit to everyone.

How about James Tarkovski almost snapping Macallister in half and having VAR confirm the yellow card only?

I mean I'm not a Liverpool fan so don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of their games but that was as single bad VAR decision as any of the ones you mentioned. Even diehard blue dipper Duncan Ferguson couldn't believe it

Now you can all check this out MLS ridiculous red against Woves the ref Michael Oliver on VAR that day Darren England .

Todays ref Darren England gives a very, very soft pen on MLS :roll:

The ref must also of been influenced by the Everton players non appeal for a pen, none of them did.

True that Steveo and I was actually going to mention that incident (stonewall red and shocking call) but the reason I didn’t was because as poor a decision as it was it didn’t massively disadvantage Liverpool. Sure it would be easier to play against 10 than 11 but they didn’t come out of that decision severely weakened.

Contrast that with -

Rice delaying the restart - down to 10 men
Trossard delaying the restart - down to 10 men
Saliba Bournemouth- down to 10 men
Saliba Brighton - penalty against us
MLS Wolves - down to 10 men
MLS Everton - penalty against us.

The wolves game was the only one we came out of unscathed, the rest we dropped points in. Those are decisions that massively hampered us in games and as bad as the Liverpool one was the other night I don’t think it can be put in the same category as the above.

Lucy fucking Ward has progressed beyond saying "false nine" every five minutes to saying "managing the minutes" every five minutes. Thank God for "equality," eh? :censored:

Yet again our substitutions have made us worse. What has Odegaard done? Why did Nwaneri go off at half time? How the fuck is Rice still out there?

Two points tossed away
Look at the big picture.
This match is meaningless. We will still finish 2nd.

All about Tuesday night.
If Forest beat Villa it could well be third
