The refs are too scared to penalise LFC with pens and/or sending offs, because they'll get it in the neck from the RS dominated sports media. LFC and to an extent City, dropping points when there's a close title race isn't going to be allowed to happen. If it was any other league the RS dominated media would be shouting corruption. Which they do when things go against them like Real Madrid result.

Ref Watch: On-field decision right for Anthony Gordon penalty, but Sadio Mane and Richarlison should have seen red, says Dermot Gallagher
Anthony Gordon was denied a penalty after a challenge from Joel Matip; Sadio Mane and Richarlison both could have been sent off as Liverpool won 2-0; plus: Why Michael Oliver was right to upgrade West Ham defender Craig Dawsons yellow card to a red against Chelsea
"Slams on the brakes"???? You clown, Matip was standing on his foot while pushing him in the back. The only place he was going was down.

Funny isn't it? We are accused of seven shades of S...housery and Cynical football and yet..Dermot Gallagher on Sky.

So many incidents:
Gordon Pen 1 (there was a challenge, he did go down) - my verdict is he might have deserved a yellow because it's impossible to judge him too kindly with such theatrics
Gordon Pen 2 - this is a clear cut penalty, Matip - DGSO and treads on his foot/pushes him - Stonewall Penalty and, regardless of who is involved it requires a review (which, one assumes would have been a penalty
Gordon Foul by TAA - clear foul/contact or not - Cynical by Liverpool player (and perhaps Jota et al were at it as well)
Doucoure Foul of Fabinho - a cynical interception (with the ever falling Richo on the ground) but all he did to earn the foul/yellow card was manhandle the opponent in a rather feeble way - the mere fact that the Liverpool player exploited this by falling over his opponent's leg did not make the challenge especially violent or worse
Richo on Henderson: Conveniently the replays ignore the cynical dig by Henderson on the prone opponent - instead concentrating on the reaction by the fouled Everton player (who earned a yellow card) - both players should have been booked.
Mane on Holgate - worth at least two yellows - entirely cynical (and with Jota et al at it as well you could almost imagine they know the ref won't take any serious action)
Yes we were spoilers and our football was highly cynical but I seem to recall the 3 or 4 worst incidents involved Liverpool players having a go at Everton players. But that would ruin their narrative wouldn't it?
A few years ago the then Prem chief is on recorded saying they want a new winner or a different winner every year. He is also on record saying "a strong Manchester Utd is good for the league" All well and good, but how far are they willing do go to achieve it?
When you at the inconsistent refereeing over the last few years, it becomes obvious which clubs get the rub of the green. VAR has been a godsend to them. I genuinely think the Premier league is corrupt and certain clubs get away with stuff other clubs would be crucified for. Namely Liverpool and Utd. They even vetted the new Prem chief so they could put one of their pets in charge. It will come out eventually, probably not in my lifetime. It isn't in the best interests of the clubs, even the ones getting shafted. They all know how much damage was done to Serie A, it still hasn't fully recovered. So they bitch and complain but won't do anything to actually stop it because they know how much money is at stake. All the clubs are complicit in covering this up. It's in their best interests to keep quiet and keep the gravy train rolling.

"The referee is really clever because he doesn't make an instant decision. If you look at him, he knows it's a big decision, and he almost runs it through, gives himself time and makes his decision.
"On that basis, it has to be his call, There's no point throwing to VAR because you can't say the referee has made a clear and obvious error because he has thought it through so much."
He's thought it through so much and still got it wrong ffs why wouldn't that go to VAR!?
Everything about VAR is shocking mate. Because he gave Mane a yellow for the first incident, VAR couldn't recommend a second yellow as it can only give straight red's.
What a broken tool used to benefit the elite.
What a broken tool used to benefit the elite.
What do you mean "he had nowhere to go"? He was in the penalty area heading directly for the goal. The only way Matip could stop him was by fouling him.
"and if that was given against us, I'd be fuming".
Well it wasn't given "against you" so no need for you to fume.
Even though the finger in the face is a straight red but Dermot "didn't see it" Gallagher rambling on about yellow card incidents
Massive bellend
First comment in there is "Yeah I can see Matips foot on his but he was already going down by then"......yeah that's why Gordon is still standing up in that image lol
