I think it's a perfectly valid thread. All the top teams usually get more decisions in their favour than against but Liverpool just feel jammier to me than the rest
Liverpool benefitting from Referees
- Thread starter Pexbo

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
You must be joking
Carra said in commentary Liverpool got away with one, you'd want it given if it was the other way i bet.
Aren’t they the only top team in the VAR era to have a goal disallowed for offside which was actually clearly onside? That’s the opposite of jammy. Or how about their best/most important player having his knee wrecked and missing a year of football after an incredibly violent challenge in the opposition box which wasn’t even a penalty, never mind a red card?
Feel dirty as hell speaking up on their behalf but all this crap about referees being biased for/against specific teams is so fecking cringe.
In my view this thread is no different than an actual manager moaning in a press conference that another team is getting too many penalties, which then strangely they didn't get for even the most blatant fouls afterwards.
Well...
Jinx of the season so far, some of my better work.
I mean any team could pick and choose a few terrible decisions that have gone against them. It's not a feeling based on any objective stats, just on watching them play. Every week there seems to be at least one questionable 50/50 go in their favour
It was a very clear penalty. No idea what that poster is on about.
You must be joking
And you must be blind, zero point discussing these things with deluded Pool fans.
There was never any doubt. The team that profits most from the officials, and have done for the past few years.
They get at least one 50/50 in their favour every week, it helps them a great deal. There’s no team than benefits from the officials anywhere near as much.
I remember reading that even during the start of the Premier League when United were dominating and Liverpool were literally dog shit they still got the most penalties out of any side in the league.
Got shafted in the first half. Favoured in the second.
Straight through the back of the Southampton attacker there, no hint of the ball
So Saints have a stonewall penalty turned down after a clear and obvious foul by Kelleher then Liverpool get a ridiculous penalty themselves at the other end
Liverpool have had the most pens awarded full stop..
A whole thread intended to document some sort of systemic injustice in the way the PL is refereed based on how rival fans feel watching games is the definition of cringe, if you ask me.
Considering there's already an almost identical thread, started by the same OP, I tend to agree.
Didn't Liverpool get same penalty (as this denied for Saints) few weeks ago against Chelsea? It was denied by Var only because gk touched the ball.
It probably is but I reckon you'd find a thread like this about a rival on most football forums, no matter the team. Just part of the game
When will their luck end. Id rather they win 5-0
Nobody is asking you to post here mate.
The one the Southampton player idiotically handled twice? He might as well have picked the bastad up.
Liverpool scored 3, all are freak goals 
Who gives a shit it was a penalty and the one in the back of the Saints player wasn't.
It came off his chest on to his arm, those arnt supposed to be given anymore
I'm trying to recall when Salah missed a year of football.
It was deliberate though
Not sure that is the rule, certainly not from that far out with loads of time to get out of the way.
He handled it twice, can get away with the high first part, but not onto his hand after.
It wasnt
It was
There’s no such thing as “deliberate” in the rules.
The Southampon player misjudged the flight of it and stuck out his arm to prevent it falling for the Liverpool player at the back post, so the bit about it hitting the body first is immaterial.
Thats not what happened, he jumped to chest it and it bounced off his chest on to his arm which was already out so its not supposed to be a penalty.
Clear penalty - against Scouse
That is what happened. He misjudged it, realised it was going to bounce of his body into the path of the Liverpool player and so held out / dangled his arm to deliberately stop it reaching him.
That was how the referee interpreted it and it was how I interpreted it as well.
Exactly, so even if the person saying ‘deliberate’ doesn’t exist is right (and I’m pretty sure he is correct), the movement by the player to change the route of the ball would be classed as not a natural movement/ body shape, which IS mentioned in the rules.
He didn’t “dangle his arm out deliberately to stop it reaching him”, his arm was already out from how he jumped to chest it. It just spun off his torso in a way he didn’t anticipate, probably due to the rain. Still a stonewaller though.
Why have you abandoned the "Liverpool are the luckiest team in the world and it will never end" thread?
