If the arm wasn't there it was in though. The craziest thing to me is there is a minute of **** about and when they finally get to the screen they watch a 2 second reply and make their decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Wasn’t even innocuous as well, ball was dead and he just twatted it away. Refs have lost control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’d be calling for the red if he’d done it against us. I think a penalty was fair I think the red also was harsh as ****, I don’t see why “our” opinion on it if it occurred in a game that we’d clearly be biased on has any relevance tbh. I hate Chelsea and Liverpool in equal measure for what it’s worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not sure what he's supposed to do with his arm? Pen ok, but red. Awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref in today’s game got worse after he got shit from the fans for one poor call (maybe the Ings yellow?), he made a wave away gesture in response to it and then proceeded to shit the bed professionally.

If it had just hit his arm and blocked the goal I could see it just being a penalty. It was the way he swung at it with his arm that resulted in the red.

The ings yellow happened because he didn't give a blatant foul on ings earlier. Its shit like that that makes the game go out of control and gets people hurt. He was also letting dangerous shit go and then penalising us for absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt to me like he was upset about getting slated for that one decision then intentionally became a clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like he took 1 look at the freeze frame, not even a rolling video. It's even more crazy because the real offence imo was him pushing the ball after he hit his arm, and he didn't even look at that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shouting from my armchair, real time, but just not loud enough to be heard across the North Sea. Only just, though.

penguin Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Chelsea looked very comfortable all in all. Lukaku looking like Lukaku or old, harsh game to judge him on granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'm genuinely curious... when's the last time either United or Liverpool had a man sent off in the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
