Is English officiating corrupt?

That’s exactly what it is mate. 👍

Rashfoooooooooooord....0-1

I think it’s down to when the whistle is blown - when he blew it first time ball was still in the box so goes to the defending team , the second one was outside so should go to the team that last touched it

But after that Forest still had the ball 3 times and had a throw in

We had the ball outside the box, defending player went down same as Konate. Tierney restarted game dropping the ball to their keeper, same as what happened with the incident Forest are crying about.

When the first incident happened he blew the whistle whilst the ball was in the box because Elliot alerted him to the issue

So once again Tierney makes the headline which what appears to be another hugh blunder but this time worked well for you lot! Anyone moaning now he’s corrupt against you lot?

Apparently Tierney should have given the ball back to forest but instead gives it your keeper 🤦‍♂️ this is horrendous in its self. Understandably stops play for head injury to Konate. Hudson odoi had the ball at the time so why didn’t it go back to him? If obviously changes the complexion of the game significantly, especially when you look at the time left on the clock. If the right call had been made you don’t win simple as.

According to rule IFAB law 8.2 states the ref drops ball for one player off the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player.

So let’s not hide the fact you got away with one. Also let’s not hide away from the fact you lot been on the receiving end of some ridiculous calls yourself this season, especially with Tierney. SO WHAT IS IT? Corruption or just one of the worse referees we have in the premier league? It’s most definitely the latter.

The saying what goes around comes around and that was the case yesterday. You deserved to get one in your favour which was very much the case, it can’t be begrudged unless fans wearing the old rose tints. They say it evens itself out during a course of the season, well let’s just say this is one back to you lot.

Can we now please please get away from these conspiracy theories some of you have. The simple truth is it’s just inept officials. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the 3 points. Makes up for when you guys were robbed against Spurs.

Ps Billythered. If you finish above Arsenal by two points is our bet void?

Not how I see it Keith, the bet is who finishes above whoever whether that’s by a single point or 2,3,5 ?

Our history with Tierney isn’t good reading, I think Howard has had a word with him regarding reffing our games, since Arsenal he’s been better imo, but he’s still totally inept as is most of his peers, I agree that there’s no agenda against us or anyone else, it’s simple ineptitude on their part, the PGMOL are not fit for purpose, they are the problem, their obsession with total control is detrimental to their profession, that is blatantly obvious,

They are a closed shop private entity that insists on having a say inside the VAR box, and we all know how they like to scratch each other’s backs, it seems that they make things up as they go along, implementing anything that prevents the very purpose of the game, scoring goals, they seem hell bent in making sure some goals are allowed and some are not, ??

They continue to meddle with the offside rule too, to the point where they have to draw lines to determine who’s eyelash was longer than the opponents and therefore given offside, they ignore a simpler solution of giving the benefit of doubt to the attacking player, which will add entertainment value and of course the possibility of more goals, the reason why we all f***in watch in the first place!!

Anyhoo I’m rambling again and most will get my gist, so for those who still Don’t Get it, VAR works perfectly well, it’s those who implement it (PGMOL) that’s f***in it up !!!

Hmmm 🧐 I see, one rule for you and another for me, I get it. 😂

I had no idea Kung fu kicks like this were allowed in football.

Should have been a free kick to Liverpool anyways and a Yellow for the player flying in.

This is Dangerous play. It doesnt matter if contact is made or not. Its still dangerous play.

These people gotta move on

Should have been red.

Should have been red.

 Should really ask Tierney whether he saw the incident or not. If he did see it no further action would be taken, But if Tierney claims he did not see it, then retrospective action can be taken.

My view is that was reckless and extremely dangerous 'tackle'. If their going to let 'challenges' like that go, sooner or later somebody will get a career ending injury.

How ironic is it when Sky hammer on about Forest not been given the ball back to them yet F**k all said about Bruce f***in Lee’s head high studs showing career ending assault, that one must be in the rule book,
Tierney missed cos he’s a inept PGMOL puppet or chose to ignore it because it was against us,
Any idea what the game time was, it’s definitely second half cos we’re playing L to R ??,

Oh and incidentally, there was two minutes played between us been given the ball to us scoring in which time no Forest player touched the ball, two minutes? Not exactly straight from the restart of play was it ?
but I’m betting most who didn’t see it will assume that it was , and will obviously jump on Sky’s intended bandwagon of apportioning blame on us !!

Wow… the amount of column inches and podcast comments given to the late goal at Forest is just beyond belief, anyone would think there was a clear offside given in the build up and VAR awarded the goal in error, rather than a sh*t Ref making a crap decision during a game.....

The same ref I might add who has made lots of mistakes which ultimately it could be argued have cost us League titles in the past, but none of these costly mistakes in the past haven’t had half of the coverage this drop ball error has had…


But more importantly the silence is deafening regarding the incident that actually led to Konate’s injury, the Forest players Kung Fu kick on Konate’s head was worthy of a red card in itself, but neither the linesman or the ref has spotted it and VAR which forensically spotted the Endo non-foul, clearly decided that this challenge like the Gravenberch tackle was also not worthy of punishment…

This level of incompetence just beggars belief, the non award of a free kick to Liverpool fir this reckless tackle was a far bigger mistake than the one Tierney made with the drop ball, Konate was lucky he didnt suffer a greater injury ….


Oh yes and the media have also decided that this reckless challenge on Konate was not worthy of comment either, it does make you think that there are dark forces at play here… just incredible…����

 

Should have been red.

Unintentional. So nothing given. It’s a natural way to challenge for the ball, perhaps with a little passion. Nothing is wrong. So get on with the game.

If it was us we would’ve gotten the red as it would be intentional, since we’re playing for the title.

Remember Martin Odegaard’s handball? Blatant handball but no penalty was given since it was unintentional and he was falling and the hand naturally had to contact with the ball. Unintentional. So expect no favours.

Hang on...Are you saying this flying kung fu kick is a "natural" way to challenge and not dangerous play?

Some claims Tierney has been stood down over the dropped ball incident, but he's on VAR duty in Brentford's game.If he was dropped surely the Premier League would confirm it.

Obviously now if we whinge over the Spurs result...they'll say..."what about Forrest"..

That tackle at Forrest is awful how come VAR can’t spot that unbelievable

Believe the Forrest player going in with his boot shoulder height was Ryan Yates. No 22 in the squad. Looked like his boot went between Kelleher and Macca.

24 app...0 goals...4 yellow...0 red.

He is an animal

Yes. Ryan "Kung Fu Kick" Yates.

Yeah, quick enough to stop the game for a hand ball penalty check. The rule on retrospective action is that if the Ref doesn't see it, retro action can be taken. But I think they've only done that once or twice in the history of the Prem.

Why aren’t the refs s re looking at this tackle again

Doesn’t matter they should look at it again especially as it’s Yates the animal, the are at least Three Liverpool players who could have been seriously injured there

Why would they look at the tackle now ?
