Liverpool are awful

Cherki will never get that goal back, just stupid.

He should have hit it a bit harder.

No blame on the ref for me but fuck me neither shirt pull had an effect on the goal. Just leave it. Common sense refereeing not allowed. It’s the “correct” decision but what a load of shite

Kind Regards

so bad 🤦‍♂️

Agree with Neville though. Game’s ruined with shit like that disallowed goal and the red card. Absolute joke

I hate VAR with every fibre and would rather have wrong decisions than the soul destroying delays.

But while the goal was happening in real time, I didn't understand how he hadn't sent off the Liverpool player for a clear pull, and then he had to disallow the goal because Haaland blatantly stopped him clearing it.  On this occasion VAR wasn't the problem, it was just poor refereeing, you can't allow a goal when a player is about to clear it and he just gets pulled back blatantly!

And you can't allow a player to do what the Liverpool player did without punishment, otherwise everyone else that pulls a player back in front of goal will just say there's no consistency.  Bad refereeing and sorry to say VAR corrected it, I don't like it when VAR appears to be justified.

He’s getting sent down for that!!

Talking of Gary Neville, he does get over excited.  When Allison was taking the last goal kick, he said "if the ref has any brain whatsoever, he'll blow his whistle now".

Or maybe - the ref will just blow the full time whistle when they've played the full 90 minutes plus injury time?

Very condescending to suggest the ref making an incorrect call on time keeping would improve his performance, obviously he's less intelligent if he applies time keeping correctly 🙄

Reebok makes an appearance too!

Cracked me up no end.

I get all that but it was two players fouling each other that had no effect whatsoever on what would have happened. I know. It’s the rules. But ffs I’ve been watching professional footy for 55 years now and I cannot think of any time when it’s been so pernickety. That was a great game and this is the discussion…

So they take away a goal which is the objective of football and would rather give a red card, Liverpool would have taken an extra -1 GD over that red and City have been punished by knocking a goal off, screw whatever laws they went by, just see the situation for what it was. Cherki will never get that goal back, just stupid.

But you can't choose which rule is applied (goal or sending off), how can they escape a red card offence when every other player that does it gets a 1 match ban?

Liverpool's next opponents might have a player suspended for a sending off this weekend, yet they'd have to play against a player that might have committed the same offence?

You’ve got to love non-league footy

Exactly. Can you imagine the outcry if this had happened to any other team in the league, a red card wasn’t dished out and they play Liverpool next week?

Out of curiosity, which red card offence would you have sent hom off for ?

Spot on. It was 'six o' one, half a dozen o' the other' and should have stood. VAR is proving to be a nightmare.

As Gary Neville said, robs us of one of the seasons memorable moments.

Cracking goal again from Slobberchops.

I don't even know what the rule is but thought it was along the lines of red card if you deny a clear goal scoring opportunity, and given it went in, that didn't happen, so it was just, for me, a tussle between two players and you can play the advantage, or something

What makes you think that? 
They’re more consistent than us, continue to churn out results and have the motivation of one hand on promotion, so why would they lose form?

I wish I could think of a reason why they might crash and burn but I can’t come up with anything realistic other than taking out their team bus with a drone strike, so if you have some inside knowledge please share.

FFS, I've seen teams implode from far better positions than Lincolns (or Cardiffs for that matter).

We have 45 points to play for. Forty fucking five!!!!

You chuck in the towel if you want to. That's what negheads do.

I still think we could be champions.

But it only went in because Haaland pulled Scouse mon back to stop him from clearing it. And he was only in a position to clear it because he’d pulled Haaland back in the first place, so that’s where they went back to.

But if the ball goes in, there is no denying the opportunity.

Hence why it was fine to play advantage upto the point that Haaland pulls the liverpool player back, preventing hom clearing it.

it wasnt, as Bolty claims, six of one and half a dozen of t'other, it was two seperate incidents. Once the second happened (preventing teh clearance, they have y=to go back and action teh first (DGSO) and give the red).

As I say, unseemly, but correct.

Well yes, exactly

Szloboszai deliberately fouled Haaland, which stopped him from getting there first and ensuring City score

That in itself denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity and is a red card offence, no matter what happens afterwards

My take is they should have allowed the goal but sent them both off and banned them for 12 months simply because they are scouser and city players 

Nobody would've batted an eyelid if they just leave it and let the goal stand.

Imagine if it had been either an equaliser or the winning goal.

There would be a social media meltdown

fair enough

even when VAR gets it right, it's shit and I'd rather see the wank officiating we bemoan on a regular basis in league 1
