Midred Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Maybe a letter of apology on the way to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 These letters of complaint to the PL or the EFL are a waste a time. They just say we are sorry and will do our best not to let it happen again Can you imagine how many letters of complaint that Neil Warnock must fire of to the EFL( and PL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'm sure they will be given a dodgy penalty in the next game to make up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Officials I thought did OK. Just think what they might have done had the officials acted against all the moaning, whinging and play-acting City got involved with....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Radio 5's phone-in after the game, the Man City fans were so self-righteous and bad they made the Liverpool fans sound OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 When I saw the thread title I assumed Man City were upset that the referee didn't cheat as much as they normally do. The ref must try harder to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 You cannot give the Liverpool handball and ignore the Man City one split seconds before it. The ball only hit TAA’s hand because it was played there off the hand of a City player (was it Aguero?). If Pep really wants these things given, then the decision was free kick in the penalty area to Liverpool. Either way, you play to the whistle. If the Man C players hadn’t been appealing for the penalty, perhaps they would have got back to defend the goal seconds later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the VAR administrators muddied the waters by making the pronouncement about Silva's handball, i.e. if an attacker handles the ball in the penalty area, whatever the circumstances, and it results in a goal then it's a freekick, but they then said that in this case as no goal was a scored Silva's handball was ignored and didn't affect the decision re TAA's subsequent "handball". This, to me , is a load of b****x - it's either handball or it's not and how can the outcome change the offence? Perhaps Pep's argument is that as a goal did result from Silva's handball then the ref should have penalised it and given Liverpool a freekick in their own penalty area!

So VAR cant get involved with that, it's down to the refs on field decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
