The Referee

[BirkenheadBlue]

He gave comfortably the best refereeing performance I’ve seen in a derby in years, but he still let them kick James and Richarlison whenever they touched the ball for the first 30mins

 

[JMT]

Yep sound as, He wasn't buying that Mane and Salah diving nonsense.

 

[JMT]

He did well but Alexander Arnold should have walked

did he even get a yellow for that??

 

[Carloblues]

Would be absolutely livid of that pen went against us like, but his cockyness to just glance at it for a second was tremendous.

Well done sir

Well done sir

Really? Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t see how it’s not a penalty. If he doesn’t lift his legs then maybe he’s got an argument, but he did.

 

[Kylito]

Made up for robbing us of the Man United win last season

 

[Paris]

Would be absolutely livid of that pen went against us like, but his cockyness to just glance at it for a second was tremendous.

Well done sir

As much as it would delight me if it wasn't the right decision, it was the right decision.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Thats a pen in the modern game

 

[Zezti]

For the most part yeah but even knowing they dived, still didn't book them.

 

[Carloblues]

Nar like I'm not saying it's not a pen, but come on you would he fuming if that went against you.

Although the best right back in the wurrllddddd didn't mean it he's stopped DCL from tapping it into a empty so I do think it was a pen ( just )

 

[JMT]

Well done sir

why? He deliberately moves his leg to impede him.

 

[TheBigIguana]

did he even get a yellow for that??

No

 

[collymcd]

He had a tough game handling penalty shouts and plenty of diving.

I know this won't be popular to say, but I don't understand how we got that penalty. I've read people have mentioned that intent is taken out of decisions now, but even then, DCL was already on his way over. Wasn't clear cut at all from my point of view.

Feck them though. We've been unquestionably shafted dozens of times so we're owed something.

 

[miami]

I thought he had a great game after a ropey opening. Didn't fall for Mane and Salah's antics. If it was him that reffed the united game last season, then he must have been having a laugh about that with carlo at the end. I'm sure the RS hated that! Well done kavanagh.

 

[Carloblues]

So you think that's a stone wall pen no debate?

Mate take ye blue gigs off, if we concede that pen we are fuming.
