Ref Watch on Sky

[Martin Alvito]

Sky? Yeah he was probably given a pre assigned Q&A sheet with the answers already written out for him.

Their agenda is shameful.

That is increasingly how American media stations are managed. Stands to reason that a Murdoch outlet across the pond would be run the same way.

 

[Lelouch]

The Robertson one is pretty bad, can't you get really serious injuries from them kind of tackles? I wouldn't be complaining but he's done that on purpose unlike Pickford.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

They'll be talking about a points deduction for us next. What is the current difference in our relative points, yeah that'll do.

 

[brieverton]

And impossible to counter with the media full of ex-RS.

It will be like a full-blown Trump rally by the end of the week.

"Send them down!" is the new "Lock him up".

 

[trueblue84]

Honestly I can’t believe how much attention this is getting, i mean have they gone to the UN yet ?

After all of this and the apparent voluntary blindness to their indiscretions just proves the media bias for LFC

that ref on sky said that Robertson kick was normal and they wonder why their still looking for VVD’s knee

Don't be giving them ideas. I can see it now...

"Dear UN, Please forget about the uighurs getting persecuted, our Virgil was left with a sore knee."

 

[bcblue1878]

The only reason for such outrage is because it was on VVD any other RS bar mane/Salah and the wouldn’t care

Indeed, any other team in the PL with the possible exception of Man U and it wouldn’t have got a mention or a second glance! If it had been the other way round, Adrian on DCL for example it wouldn’t have got a mention! Yet here we are with it every hour on the hour on SSN and quite probably with get a slot on BBC news at 6, and ITV news at 10!

Wtf happened to his face? I presume he's been drinking a lot since his retirement, probably explains his baffling stance. But he always was a crap ref so unsurprising.

This is the headlines at 10 o’clock Pickford get away with ABH GBH and murder on our beloved VVD. In other news aliens are Invading and wiping out the population, Back to our main headline, VVD will be out for months

 

[UltraVires]

I watched the ref watch analysis of it and it was a joke. Steps 1, 2 or 3 do not actually exist so he was talking nonsense from the start.

The only thing I can’t figure out is whether Dermot is stealing a living from Sky now more so than when he took to the field himself

 

[sageyefc]

If ever someone looked like a sex offender it’s him

Sue is laughing at him,not with him.

Exactly right - in fact, a number of Aston Villa fans have pointed out that their forward, the Brazilian Wesley, suffered the same sort of injury in a very similar incident aginst Burnley last January, yet nobody petitioned Parliament to ask for Burnley's Mee to be banned and the matter was virtually ignored by the media.

They won't mention Mane kicking Mina because it'd mean he would have to have been sent off (he'd already been booked and its at least a yellow when you do that, no matter how soft) and that would mean there'd be no controversy about the goal, because Mane couldn't have been on the pitch to be offside in the first place. It's not just the normal bias in this case, it's being swept under the carpet to allow the frenzy about the disallowed goal to continue.

Funny as well how the media have never once mentioned Robertson booting Allan.

 

[Philw]

I think people are getting a bit over the top with the whole media liverpool-love-in/persecute Everton thing. There's nothing anti us about this, it just so happens that it occurred in our game. Would be the same if it was any team. The reason no-one's really talking about Mane's pathetic little trip, or the Robertson/Allan clash is because Mina and Allan are not out for six - nine months. We all love to jump over RS fans for being fake, FKWs, always backing their players not matter what, playing the victim etc etc, but some people on here are getting a little close to falling foul of the saying 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'.

Wow, now that is a horror tackle! Pickford's was pretty bad, and luck saved him due to the way the rules handle certain incidents when the ball is dead, but no way near as bad as that looks.
