2021/22 Frank Lampard

[Gilbert..]

Just a few calls that have gone against us…

Konsa foul on gray when through on goal - no foul, no var as not clear and obvious.

Richy non pen against the yids.

Rondon non pen against Brentford.

No pen for rodri handball vs city. Christ knows what var was doing.

No pen for foul on Gordon - no var, not clear and obvious.

Those are just off the top of my head, prob more I’ve forgot.

One thing that is clear and obvious - bias and corruption.

That point could be crucial now. But hey we got an apology so thats the main thing

Said it at the time, what if we go down by a point!? They admitted liability when they apologised, so surely we would have a case for suing them for losses etc, not that that’s the point.

The corruption and bias is just so obvious, it’s actually got worse than pre var which takes some doing.

What is needed is a body that is not answerable to the FA.
A body that would examine ALL faulty decisions (not just penalties) and arrive at a decision based on the laws of the game.
Each decision arrived at by that body would have a full explanation of the findings and call the FA and the Referees' Association to account for the incorrect decision.
Such a body should consist of ex-Premier league players.
Taking the Gordon penalty as an example, their findings could be as follows:
1. Did the incident occur in the penalty area? Yes
2. Did the defending player in making the challenge touch any part of the ball? No
3. Did the defending player come into contact with the attacking player? Yes
4. Was the contact within the laws of the game (i.e. normal coming-together of two players, or a shoulder charge)? No
5. How can the contact be defined? A push by the defending player sending the attacking player to the floor
6. What is the punishment for the offence committed at point '5'? A penalty
Such findings should then be submitted to the FA and the Referees' Association, and also to the public with a notice condemning the match officials for an incorrect decision, and how it materially affected the result, and the point(s) gained at the end of the game. The Gordon decision being a case in point, as it happened when the score was 0-0, and the successful conversion of ther penalty (never mind just the awarding of the penalty) would have changed the the play and what happened from thereon.

Until such times as such a body is set up and can lay into both the FA and the Referees Association, then nothing will change...

You can't continue to question the integrity of the game which he has done multiple times now. The FA are obviously going to put a stop to that. They don't want others doing the same understandably.

Unless of course your surname happens to be Klopp who is ok telling a referee in front of the cameras “you’re the only one I have a problem with”!

Well he could have had a conversation about it without bringing the game into disrepute.

The stats put up are cherry picked ones from the Covid affected season. When they changed the rules for that season regarding hand balls if you recall and loads of penalties were given.

There’s a world of difference between talking sense (and the truth btw!) and bringing the game into disrepute!

 

[bcblue1878]

Tons tbh

The FA have always been super anal about policing managers comments about refs even when criticism is justified.

One quick google search for 'manager fined for misconduct' will show numerous examples of managers getting fined for relatively mild criticism.

Does the same search show now many times Klopp has been done for it?

It shows that he got fined £8000 for over the top celebrating when they beat us at Anfield under Silva

For a second there I read that as they got paid £8000 for over the top celebrations!

He ran onto the pitch to celebrate IIRC.

 

[Chewbacca]

I like Frank

 

[Bwana]

I like the flowers, especially daffodils. Mountains & rolling hill are cool too.

 

[Runub]

He did indeed and Sky still play it as an intro to SSN sometimes like it is a good thing that he did. Nope it was disrespectful, broke the rules and he was fined for it. But I guess Sky think differently of course

They should use them celebrating that 1:1 draw they got against West hrom or whoever it was

You mean like the Premier League ... which already isn't answerable to the FA?

And arguably a red card never mind just a yellow.
