I believe the Premier League should protect the vice captain (Obviously Henderson is the 1st choice of captain) before the important Euros in the summer! In Gareth we trust - these players should be protected. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Oliver supposed to be the best Ref in the Prem. Your having a laugh, has no idea how to let a game flow to stop teams blagging nothing fouls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 controversial one for Liverpool today too. Forest had the ball on the attack, Konate went down with a head injury, ref stopped the game. Game restarts with Liverpool ball and they score. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted March 2 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2 I know we get upset with rookie ref at our game and they tend to have shit game, but at least that's for both teams. Michael **** Oliver, every **** time, is he a bluenose or just on the script making sure no one else disturb the Sky Six balance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Done this a few times recently after games, gone on the oppositions forums to see what they thought of the ref, I found it interesting that we on here had a meltdown over the Fulham ref while their fans chanted you're not fit to referee at him Tonight it seems like Luton fans think our second goal shouldn't have stood because it was a quick free kick following a booking which isn't allowed, Rogers and Luiz should have been sent off, the obligatory emi should have had 7 yellow cards for time wasting, it was actually chong that was kicked off the park all game not Watkins, 2nd half injury time wasn't enough etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 That was such a nonsense end to the Forest-Liverpool game. I'm sure PGMOL will consult the rulebook and say the ref got it spot on but come on.... First of all a 0-0 game where Forest make two subs and there's 8-9 minutes added?! I can't believe they wasted that much time unless there was a serious injury, I bet the Liverpool players were sprinting off when subbed so you shouldn't be adding minutes on for that. Then for the corner Forest could've easily had a penalty but ignored as usual. Konate faking the injury (caused by his own keeper). Then he shoos away all the Forest players and basically lets the Liverpool keeper boot it high into their half. Forest still had possession when the ref blew for the injury. I'd be seething for weeks if we lost a game like that in the last minute. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stopped play either when the ball is in the penalty area OR the last touch is in there, then it goes to the keeper but CHO had it with 2/3 touches. Goes down as another error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 2 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2 (edited) Yeah I’d be ****ing fuming if I was a Forest supporter tonight. Before I saw it the beeb say that Forest regained possession (kinda hinting that they had sufficient chance to prevent the goal). But I don’t know, having now seen it, they could have done better when they briefly had the ball, but they were under pressure around their box instead of having possession where they originally DID have it, on the attack at Liverpool’s end. Pretty poor. Edited March 2 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor. They messed up for the goal for sure. Had the ball on the edge of the box and should've just booted it up the pitch given there were 30 seconds left at that point. When play was stopped at the other end they had pressure from the corner and getting the ball back for potentially another cross and it all get stopped due to the blow up for the hand injury. Then when restarted they're basically all told to go back into their own half once it's deemed Liverpool should restart with the keeper kicking it upfield so that was all wrong based on the flow of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah at the very least, I think the ball has to be with Forest in a non dangerous area for them, minimal pressure from Liverpool. But no. Ultimately it proved to be a good defensive job by the ref. Stopped the attack dead, set Liverpool on their way. When I occasionally sound sympathetic to the accusation that the refs are biased towards certain clubs, it’s decisions like that. I genuinely don’t think that happens FOR Forest against Liverpool. Or if it does, it would happen once for them compared to half a dozen times for Liverpool. Because if it did happen against Liverpool, along with the national mourning over several days, they’d have Klopp screaming about replays and having to deal with that meltdown. It’s just not going to happen with Nuno. I will accept that perhaps the Forest owner isn’t beyond some unpleasantness in this regard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Bottom line is, we have probably the best teams in the world, with the best players in the world but refs who'd look poor in the Estonian 3rd division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
