In his defense, that was a clear foul on Salad
Absolutely ridiculous no one is talking about that. But like I've said before, football isn't finishing. It's finished. The oil has spread everywhere and all wildlife is dead.In his defense, that was a clear foul on Salad
Absolutely no way. I genuinely hate Klopp because he is a classless prick.Right now, five seconds for a yes or no. Do you swap Conte for Klopp tonight. Go...5....4...3....
Thanks for the honest answer.Absolutely no way. I genuinely hate Klopp.
It was. Taylor had a mare, and overlooked plenty of clear fouls for Liverpool, so I do understand his frustration.In his defense, that was a clear foul on Salad
Oh, come on. We need a bit of passion. This is not underage football.His behaviour on the sideline today was appalling. I coach underage GAA games and occasionally ref them, and I have never seen a parent or coach behave in that manner. The Premier League claim to promote respect towards officials. If they truly want to do this they should bring a disciplinary charge against him.
I can't stand him, genuinely. I think he is a horrific bully and I can't stand people like that. There is no reason for him to act like he does and I think he is a monumental arsehole.Thanks for the honest answer.
Passion is great. Managers squaring up to linesmen is off.Oh, come on. We need a bit of passion. This is not underage football.
Absolutely and he deserves the red and subsequent punishment. We move on.Passion is great. Managers squaring up to linesmen is off.
you say that but what happens when a 7 year old orphan from africa does that to his teacher tomorrow? or a carer does it to a young girl with locked in syndrome?I absolutely 'heart' this picture. No better sight in football.
Klopp.Is.Back.
easiest way to explain away the consistent referee bias for liverpool “ref’s from manchester, mate, can’t be bent.”Absolutely and he deserves the red and subsequent punishment. We move on.
Now can we discuss why we keep getting a Manchester ref for every single Manchester game we play?
It was there Cup final today. No real pressure on them to win. They won’t find it so easy against teams that sit back. Trent and Diaz will be big misses in next couple of weeks.They have a run of winnable games now, so if he were given a ban (no chance), they'd still get the results.
True that. He's used it well to get his team fired up.He's simply playing the underdog card as he always has, and you've fallen for it.
Anyway it seems to have worked, his team was fired up and got a result against the "unbeatable" City.
siege mentality he plays also.He's simply playing the underdog card as he always has, and you've fallen for it.

Didn't "Trent" make a miraculous return from "injury" today?It was there Cup final today. No real pressure on them to win. They won’t find it so easy against teams that sit back. Trent and Diaz will be big misses in next couple of weeks.
I swear whenever I bet on a gut feeling I end up coming close but never winning.I think they'll beat City on Sunday
Yep. Klopp does that a lot. Pep was embarrassing when the ref went to check VAR as well. Both should be punished for that. Refs shouldn't have to have 40 to 60 year old managers scream at them as they're doing their jobs.It was a foul on Salah but it's completely bizarre to square up to the linesman and start screaming in his face. Decisions sometimes don't go your way, fecking deal with it. It was a temper tantrum that you'd barely expect a child to throw.
Yeah this was awful - you can’t have managers and players hounding refs. VAR needs to become separate, refs are so average they need to be taken off the important VAR decisions. So many bad calls, obvious fouls etc. All it would take is to announce the rule it is an immediate red card if you approach the ref at the monitor, send off the first one or two who break the rule and the rest will get in line immediately. Ref’s problem is no one takes them seriously because they’re so inconsistent.Yep. Klopp does that a lot. Pep was embarrassing when the ref went to check VAR as well. Both should be punished for that.

Look where they placed the VAR tv. Surrounded by 2 banks of liverpool fans right over his shoulderYeah this was awful - you can’t have managers and players hounding refs.

Totally different. I used to ref as well but parents and kids coaches are told not to curse ect..and the refs in those leagues with kids are usually thin skinned and tend to throw yellow and red cards around for just about any dissent. In a premier league match this intense with the two best teams it gets heated. Not a big deal just like when Rooney used to f and blind at refs in matches when united were at the top.His behaviour on the sideline today was appalling. I coach underage GAA games and occasionally ref them, and I have never seen a parent or coach behave in that manner. The Premier League claim to promote respect towards officials. If they truly want to do this they should bring a disciplinary charge against him.
There were even fans shouting at the ref while he was looking at the screen. They were only about 5 feet from him.Yeah this was awful - you can’t have managers and players hounding refs.

Yesterday i hoped city would smash you but deep down I was pleased that you won.That’s a sensible post. These state run clubs are terrible for football so how supporters can root for a club like this against a normal traditional club is just baffling regardless of the dislike. City truly own the hearts and minds of both manchester clubs supporters. Wow
Or city sent envelops to the refs. I wouldn't be surprised.Tbf it was the clearest foul you could ever see. Its like the assistant was either blind or chose not to call it so that City could have another chance.
Yeah. In fact, let's not have fans in the stadium.Look where they placed the VAR tv. Surrounded by 2 banks of liverpool fans right over his shoulder
How can that ever be independent?
How he gets away with this I'll never know.Tweet

To be honest my dream scenario is VAR is a completely separate body to the refs and ultimately run 100% of the onfield game with the refs acting simply as their ‘messenger’, I think we have the tech and ability to do this now I.e. make 99% of decisions within a few seconds.Look where they placed the VAR tv.

Think you might be missing the point a tad.Yeah. In fact, let's not have fans in the stadium.
100% it's how it always should have been. All they do is cover for eachother while never being scrutinised. Rugby manages it absolutely fine, why does football need to be different.To be honest my dream scenario is VAR is a completely separate body to the refs and ultimately run 100% of the onfield game with the refs acting simply as their ‘messenger’, I think we have the tech and ability to do this now I.e. make 99% of decisions within a few seconds.
Reffing is a hard job, it’s much easier to us to see fouls on tv but the standard is so poor right now - the amount of bad calls even with VAR is inexcusable.
No I am not. It's a packed football stadium and you're talking about independence of the ref based on how close the monitor is to fans.Think you might be missing the point a tad.
Just put the monitor somewhere he's not being surrounded by fans, it's not difficult. Why don't they have it on the touchline like everybody else? It's clearly placed stragetically.No I am not. It's a packed football stadium and you're talking about independence of the ref based on how close the monitor is to fans.
Because the English media just act as if it never happened. FA doesn't care if no one is moaning, unless it is us, in which case they will pay for lip readers and translators to charge our managers.How he gets away with this I'll never know.
Moyes got away with directly criticising the VAR ref and the on pitch ref and the media are praising him for it.So it looks like Klopp will only get a one-match ban despite 1) a red card and 2) flipping the bird out to the referee in front of cameras. In comparison, Fergie got a 5-match ban in 2011 because of outspoken criticisms of referees with no expletives nor insulting gestures.
What is that?
