"This freak of a season, with no fans, is clearly having a big toll on our manager - he's a people person and loves people.
It's tough to watch him looking so forlorn without the human contact, without the meaning of the game there - but he'll be back, and so will we"

What the actual feck..
Peak RAWK
WOW LA
They are all like that. This weird poetic /mythical nonsense.

Indeed it was given, but whether it should have been given is debatable. Beyond doubt though, is the dive.
theres not really that much debate to be had, keeper doesnt win the ball and contacts the players leg, in what style the player fell down is pretty much irrelevent

"Contact" "CONTACT" "CONTACT!"
There's the debate. Why do you think making physical contact warrants a penalty?
Another debate, of course, is regarding the diving.

They have an entire thread about the effects of covid and how having no fans in the stadium is making their players depressed, thus causing the decline in form.
Would love to read that but thinking about going to that side after 2-3 years again is giving me PTSD.

Yeah, I see your point.

VAR can't over turn it due to there being contact but I agree it didn't affect the direction of his shot or prevent him from keeping possession, I would say he lost the ball.

You love to see it though.

I haven't read any of the posts from Rawk, saving them for today when I start work.

This feels good, us top of the league, liveepools fans in tears. I feel like the nautural order of the world is slowly being restored.

The last five posts you’ve made about football are about Liverpool not getting a penalty, Martial diving for a penalty and Maguire apparently shouldn’t have had a penalty against Everton.

Your assessment of all three have been wrong and clearly show that you’re a Liverpool fan.

Why lie?

Pickford went for the ball. Maguire appeared to hit the deck deliberately, which is disgraceful.
It's disappointing that Martial dived to get the penalty.
It's great that the season's best result came in the absence of Pogba. Spirit.
Amusing though Burnley's win is, the penalty was given after an awful and deliberate dive.
Contact or no contact, he dived blatantly.
Perhaps Rashford's dive - which he no doubt executed to exaggerate the effects of the challenge - put enough doubt in the ref's mind. When a player's leg (right leg in this case) disappears from under him so unnaturally like that it's bound to muddy the waters, so to speak.
The video shows the dive. The still image above is of little use. The thread started with a question as to why the ref might have decided not to give a penalty. I said the dive probably influenced him. I believe Rashford could have stayed on his feet easily and that he hit the deck deliberately.
Awful blatant dive by Fernandes for the penalty.

wheels are off the wagon. Is Klopp's behaviour weird? Arguing at half time, looks down in the post match interview.. can he turn it around..

old squad, no money and players wanting more / they're off

Your assessment of my assessments is wrong. Clearly you're an Accrington Stanley Ladies reserves fan.
Do you think penalties should be given for contact?

I'm just not a mentalist so I believe that obvious penaltiesshould be given.

They will always have the famous premier league win. In front of no fans. Pubs closed. Not allowed within two metres of anyone else.
Can we keep social distancing for scousers after the pandemic, they really shouldn't be around normal people anyway.

I'm sorry but seeing the collation of your posts, the safest assumption is that you are either a Liverpool fan, or you have a weird obsession with penalties.

I lean towards the first.

If you see every penalty situation that I've questioned as an obvious penalty and don't like the idea of debating them, that's ok.

I accept your apology, but you're wrong on both assumptions. This is not about Liverpool. I have a keen interest in how the laws of the game (esp re diving and "contact" as opposed to fouls) are applied, how "contact" is seen as a justification of diving, how football's governing bodies want diving to continue etc etc.

In 2021 you're allowed to highlight to the ref that an opponent has acted illegally.

You can be red carded for flying in to someone and not actually making ANY contact, based on intent and recklessness.

Allison, does make contact, shouldn't fly into his path and rightfully it was a stonewall penalty. It was reckless, late and he made lots of contact with the player and none with the ball.

Plus, its swings and roundabouts with dives. I remember Salah getting tap on his ankle at West Ham? It was the type of kick you give to your mate when you''ve seen something funny and you want to get their attention. Salah then delays, and THEN decides to throw himself to the floor because he felt marginal contact.

Swings and roundabouts in 2021, don't give the ref the option to give a penalty. Burnley are well coached, and you could see they were not willing to swing legs at Liverpool in the box. That's how you defend in 2021, maybe Liverpool should take a leaf out of their book.

Based on his first few posts in the mains, he's not a Liverpool fan. Or if he is, it's the longest of long cons, putting @Orc to shame.

Is he a United fan or just taking the piss? If he is, he's even more of an legend than I thought.

I honestly think it has to be something in the water in scouseland. How can they all be so consistently deluded in the same way?

Maybe just an Ole outer and wants us desperately to lose / Liverpool win. There has been a lot of these fans recently.

we actually had fans wanting United to lose (and openly admitting it), because they though my it would speed up the sacking of OGS. Unbelievable.
