useless Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Doesn't really matter what people want, Liverpool will win easily regardless. We can take positives whatever happens, if Liverpool win we're still only three points off them and thirteen points ahead of Newcastle, if Newcastle win, we're still ten points ahead of them and level on points with Liverpool.

villan95 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Think someone mentioned it the other week but this commentator keeps shouting players names every time they shoot, even if it's a tame effort outside the box. Really annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a blatant pen and then he puts that leg down and then it’s a dive Yeah it's mad they people think it's not a penalty. Another case of a player being 'punished' for being honest and getting nothing, then criticised for going down. Players can't win sometimes.

Davkaus Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I think the discussion over the last page (and also over on Reddit/Twitter, everywhere else) is why we'll never, ever be satisfied by referees or VAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I just hate diving and think it has no room in this sport and should be punished. Looking at the replay, there was contact first and the call for a pen was correct. But kinda wish we'd be harsher on blatant embellishing diving tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get hacked to death in the box, but unless you go to the ground you will never, ever get a penalty. Just one of many reasons that refs are not fit for purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 At least 50% of penalties are simulation from contact. If Refs want to get any better they should be studying calls for penalties and understanding simulation, as it seems they have no idea not having played the game.
