We're probably why they chose blue instead of the obvious orange

Was DCL's red against Palace a yellow, blue or red? lol
It's beyond laughable now. 5 subs and excessive time added on was brought in to benefit the top teams. E.G. let's imagine City are drawing with Sheff Utd. Sheff Utd are clinging on.
City can bring on 5 top players to change the game. Can Sheff Utd say the same about their subs?
Sheff Utd waste time and do their best to run the clock down. Suddenly, 10 extra minutes is added on. Would City time waste if they were winning? Of course not, the only teams that need to are those that need to cling on.
Sheff Utd are hanging on and stop City's attacks with little niggly fouls, the way all teams do when hanging on. Suddenly, they're down to 10 men for 10 minutes. City have fresh players and are now playing against 10 men.
It's controlling the game again.

I believe a good idea is a good idea, VAR is a good idea but to implement it in the way the PL have done so makes it a bad idea. If you introduce a system that is meant to stop mistakes then you need to put it in the hands of those who have the capacity not to make mistakes not those who compound mistakes.
Introducing rules and punishments to try and level the playing field in terms of spending power is a good idea but to implement a system that compounds the problem is madness.
Punishing players for foul play is a good idea but bringing in sin bins which will mean the offending team will have to defend for 10 minutes to ride out the consequences is a bad idea. It also means that weaker referees have a get out clause, goodness knows we see them ducking responsibility and allowing VAR to make decisions for them now they can chicken out of a red card.
I have no doubt those in charge of the game are very good at spotting the problems but they are very bad at spotting the solutions.

the one against trippier for the barcodes baffled me, if accidental handball isnt a thing, why wast it given, it bounced up and hit his had and his hand a a foot away form his hip (in the modern BS, an 'unnatural position), and no pen given. It wasn't even given as a corner even though the last touch was off trippier.
Apart from that I thought Anthony Taylor had a decent game
No-one mentioning the one we away with for Godfrey yesterday? The second kick out on Ederson was as clear a red card as I've seen.
well you need to watch more football mein frandel
Have you seen it back? Was trying to find a clip, it was floating around twitter. It was a blatant kick out at his face. Has form for this, does our Ben.
Here we go
a ball is bobbling around in a dangerous area, a player is lying on his side so perhaps a little disorientated, both players are wriggling like like a kopite trying to justify Heysel, and you can get into the mind of a player to say it was deliberate. Sure, and does Ben Godfrey really have a reputation for kicking players in the head? Where is you evidence for this blue friend?
Welcome to the forum btw fellow blue, what are your thoughts on teams other than Liverpool celebrating big wins brother?
A welcome after 11 years - thanks (might be worth checking when someone has signed up and their post history before inferring they are a kopite
Otherwise you could look a bit silly).He did the same against Arsenal this season and was again lucky not to be sent off.
top lurking brother, but I dont get this desire to label our own players as serial head kickers/violent players when the evidence may be unreliable at best, but you go for itA welcome after 11 years - thanks (might be worth checking when someone has signed up and their post history before inferring they are a kopite

Well, you know, work and life get in the way of spending hours posting.
No desire to call anyone out in particular, but willing to be objective. If that had happened against JP we'd all be up in arms.
not if you look at it objectively, how can you look at slow moving video footage of a fast developing and chaotic section of play and know the mens rea of the person doing an action? In the pantheon of footballing wrongs, this isnt even in the first edition and calling BG out on it is poor form sir
