Oddly if you click on the link I posted you can't read it but if you search in Google and click the link then it let me read it. It's not an easy copy and paste as it's quite long and loads of links and stuff in between.

Ref watch on Sky unanimous saying red card, also "Foul" for the free kick leading to their goal not a 2nd yellow.
Bothroyd suggesting a player should be attached to VAR officials as others have suggested, which I think is a decent idea, but ex players have club allegiances so would have to be very carefully selected & probably come from lower leagues

I think ex players are often the worst people with VAR. ANY shirt pulling in the area by the defending team is a penalty. The pundits on tele often say it wasn't enough for a penalty. I've not studied the rules, but I'm not aware of a it wasn't enough of a shirt pull rule. Ex-players who used to do things, often seem to think that what they got away with is ok too.

Was listening to Colin fray and Steve Sutton commentary who both thought the Brighton player was a definite sending off

I then looked at the challenge. IMO it's a borderline sending off at worst? Was expecting the challenge to be far worse the way it was described.

Can understand why VAR didn't change the yellow

We've got to stop complaining and start getting the job done and winning some points

I'm backing Nuno but this is a results business and he needs to start delivering results

It's on him to sort the team out and get more points on the board sharpish

Yes the other day there was a penalty appeal & the co commentator said well he didn't hold on to him long enough for it to be a penalty, if referees & Var are trying to judge how long someone is held then there is no wonder they are getting so much wrong.
For me a foul is a foul, a shirt pull is a shirt pull etc. they should apply the laws of the game just the same be it in the area or not, giving more penalties might stop all this nonsense we see at corners, blocking, grappling, shirt pulling etc,

Honest opinion

I'm not joining the queue to blame another defeat on the ref or VAR

Even if the player had been sent off there's no guarantee we would have took advantage either

I'm getting fed up of us blaming everybody but ourselves for not getting results

It's a bad mentality IMO

agree with the excuses point, it was a 100% red though

Of course, you did not deal with the underlying point, that last week you were saying that there was a conspiracy to help Liverpool win the League and this week, they have been denied a penalty against their title rivals. Your opinions are not valid from one week to the next- sometimes even less.

I thought the underlying point was you doing the exact thing you accused me of doing in your post, but presumably it's ok and cute when you do it?

Sorry, I couldn't actually see any other salient point there, although I can appreciate why you'd want to claim there was one to deflect from a pretty big helping of hypocrisy that you've served up for your dinner

I bet you were popular!!! When I played Sunday League, a Red card was only given for murder, with the occasional manslaughter.

In all seriousness, and even though I still play now at 54, when I was playing in my late teens and 20's/30's (late 80's, 90's, early 2000's), around 1% of all fouls and yellow/red cards seen today would have warranted a free kick back then

That's very true actually , the fact i still managed to get sent off 2 or 3 times a season back then might give some insight into what a horrible little **** i was :taz:

I got subbed once by my own team, because they played me out of position in wide right of midfield, on a snowy day at Mirlees Blackstone in the UCL, and I hardly got a touch.

So I decided to take out my frustration by 2 footing their left wingers thigh. Not ev en a booking, but the manager subbed me.
Only felt guilty when I saw him in the club house bar limping heavily and then thought what an absolute tosser I was. :cool:

I think that's pretty much the point of opinions
 
Now fast forward from the 90's to last summer, and I got 2 yellow cards in 20 seconds for dissent. Game has gone to ruin .......
