It's great when Brighton are going forward but the mess they play at the back is criminal. They've completely dominated 40 minutes, should be up by a couple but because of their incompetence find themselves 2-1 down

 

[Nymzee]

Told you.

Would lump on them getting a soft pen or two today.

Despise Carragher commentating in any way for liverpool he will always be blatantly bias.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Looks like the EPL is sorting out the kopites in this game with another generous penalty.

Making up for the VAR error v spurs I reckon

 

[MrGrumpy]

Told you.

That was a pen

Brighton have played some good stuff going forward but they’ve been an accident waiting to happen when passing around the back

Hate em mate but that was a clear pen.

 

[Nymzee]

It was soft, but still given, ergo: should have lumped on.

I was waiting until half time. Knew I would regret it.

I hate teams doing that,it proves nothing and so often ends in teams shooting themselves in the foot.The good old hoof it down meadow never gifted any goals to the opposition.

Ex Liverpool captain and forever fan having a bias for Liverpool?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Blatant shirt pull in the area. It’s a pen. When the players were on the floor, you could still see his hand around the back of the neck of the shirt

 

[Sharpies volley]

Brighton in total control and have imploded in the last 2 minutes

Judt gone on to the BBC website and see that a red card was issued to a Man City player in the WSL for time wasting, and the comments were that it was ridiculous. So I looked at the short vid, and I was, like, WHAT??? The Man City girl shapes to play the ball up the field, but then turns and plays it sideways to a colleague. In the space of 3-4 seconds. And gets a second yellow! Absolutely unbelieveable refereeing. And then the authorities wonder why there is so much criticism against officials. Well just look at that decision for starters. Top of page 3 at the moment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/66233529/page/3

I just watched that vid and as i expected, they don't show the whole incident. The clipped version makes it look a terrible decision.

However, the whole story is that the ref awarded City a free kick, 10 seconds or so went by which allowed the teams to get back into shape, That wouldn;t have been took into account for timewasting, that was the time that she should have used to decide where to play it. Then the ref blows the whistle to incidate the kick can be taken with the City player standing over the ball.

She then stands there for 10 seconds making no attampt to even move, she then moves back and moves as if to take it and stops again. Then she eventually goes to take it but by then its about 16-17 seconds from when the whistle was blown telling her to take it.

It would be nice if pundits blamed the player for once. She knew she was on a yellow and that refs were clamping down on timewasting. Yet she still choose to take over 15 seconds to take a free kick.

Did Elliot get a straight red last game?
