ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

It was a very soft penalty - I just saw it on MOTD. I also think the Leicester player being bundled over in the first half was a penalty though.

What was the kerfuffle at the end of the game about?
 
Since the introduction of var have Liverpool been on the wrong end of any decisions? Can't think of any. They say things even themselves out over the course of the season, if this is the case the latter half of the season should see a lot of marginal calls go against them. Not gonna happen though.
 
VAR is a joke and is set up for the bigger teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal etc, to take advantage of. Said last year I said it would be even harder to score against one of the elite teams, because of VAR, up to now there is nothing to prove me wrong. For your serial cheats like Salah Mane it is almost impossible to spot whether they have been touched or shot, they are that good at falling over. My suggestion is we do what cricket have done, bring in the Snick o meter, especially when Liverpool are playing. :), it's the only way you'll be able to tell whether the cheating muckers have been touched, the human eye can not tell.

So say the same thing had happened at the other end, and a Leicester player had gone to ground easily.... The ref would have waived play on... VAR would have looked at it.. Do you think the VAR officials would have ruled that the ref had made a 'clear and obvious error'??....

Nope...

And that's where VAR has been set up to allow the normal bias to big clubs, and Liverpool in particular...

The ref will always award Liverpool penos, and as long as there's slight contact (even if the player dives), VAR will back his decision

Arguably the biggest and most prominent interceptions where VAR has overturned decisions, have been to the detriment of the last two league champions, City and Chelsea - who are owned by Sheikh’s and Russian billionaires

If there was a conspiracy in favour of the top clubs - surely those decisions wouldn’t have occurred.

It was a pen in my opinion. Albrighton was clumsy and there was contact, nobody is really arguing that. The contact wasn’t sufficient to make him go down, so he’s certainly guilty of exaggerating that contact.

However, if he doesn’t go down, the ref doesn’t have a decision to make. The FA actively encourage this behaviour, rather than players staying on their feet, because i’m yet to see a ref give a penalty when there has been no claim. It’s not something exclusive to that lot, it’s fairly commonplace now.

It’s just typical that it had to occur in the last seconds yet again.

It isn't a peno in a million years, please stop trying to make that decision acceptable....there's contact yes, but there's NO FOUL.... Mane has cheated, clear and simple.

City and Chelsea have never been liked by the FA/Premier league officials, City in particular because they're Liverpools rival, don't get biased decisions like Liverpool and Man United have over the years.... Liverpool got everything last season, and are getting everything this year...

Listen to what you’re saying. Can you imagine the sheer size of operation required to covertly manipulate multiple decisions in favour of one club?

Christ, people were saying last week that Sheff Utd’s GK was on the take to throw the ball in.

If that’s Kean, not Mane, you’re shouting pen like the rest of us mate. It’s embarrassing to claim otherwise.

Look at the expression on his face as he goes to ground, the tackle was not so severe as to merit looking like he'd just been branded with an iron.

Glad someone else like you is keen to highlight the unnatural fitness levels that they seem to enjoy. They start with 11 from the same pool of 13 or 14 players game in, game out. They run around like lunatics and are ready to go again less than three days later. They are able to do this for months at a time and have done so without any significant injuries to key players for more than two years. Other clubs regularly lose players to soft tissue injuries but not the RS. Even when you see them leave the field gingerly they're back the next game.

How do they do it?

Pact with the devil.

New and therefore undetectable drugs.

They are the temple of cheating.

VAR is there to enhance big club bias. There is an overriding need to protect the product; RS, Mans U & C, Perm any two from Spurs, Arse, Chelsea. The remainder are extras or plucky new bees.
THE PREMIER LEAGUE IS BENT. WAKE UP!

I'm simply not interested in pro football any more.

I want to watch competitive sport, not a scripted parade.

Hmmm....Hamza Choudhury getting racist abuse online. Stirred up by Klopp, no doubt.

Wasn't even a terrible foul, exact same foul on DeBruyne by Sneiderlin last week, yellow card, no uproar from City, no media attention....

Watching Sky sports news there, they brushed over the peno (did mention it was controversial), then focused completely on the Salah foul... Klopp complaining about it in his post match press conferenc, Rodgers having to defend his player in his.....no talk about the peno....
So the racial abuse is Klopps fault, but also the media's...
