What I don't understand is if that tackle catches him half way up the shin then it's a red, all day. It's way higher and cuts his forehead.

Lindlelof should have got a 2nd yellow vs Spurs on Thursday . Easy easy yellow but the ref bottled that one too.

The traditional biggest clubs in the PL still getting help from the officials . It has long been the case.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s not true.

If you try to kick the ball and kick someone’s shin accidentally, it’s rarely a red card.

Also the Lindelof challenge would have been a very weak red card, and I think it helped him getting some of the ball as he challenged.

You can’t have those as some sort of example of bias just because you disagree with them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Studs up on the shin is a red. End of. Ball or no ball. Its just fecking dangerous play. Studs up to the forehead, cutting the guys face is the very definition of dangerous play.

As for Lindelof he had hold of the player, pulled his shirt and tripped him up after being turned. Nailed on yellow to some one not already on a yellow. You just have to look at what AWB got booked for, almost nothing but caught the player in a promising position.

That’s wrong.

If you try to kick the ball and you miss, and kick a players shin then it’s very unlikely to be a red card.

If your studs are up you will get a Red Winston, accidental or not.

Who remembers the game at WHL this season, Sessegnon clear through on goal and shoved to the ground from behind by TAA, a clear penalty kick and red card for Trent waved away. Like I said, it happens every single game one way or another.

Sandy, if it’s a kicking motion i.e. trying to kick the ball, as with Jota, you won’t.

I am not even joking or making this up, but every single time Spurs play Varpool we are shafted by the officials one way or another.

There are endless examples of their players being let off red cards, Suarez deliberately kicking Parker & Dawson, Fabinho elbowing Son, Robertsons studs up tackle on Tanganga etc etc etc.

Then there is gifted penalties galore like the CL final non handball and endless Spurs penalties waved away like yesterday. Allison allowed to pick the ball up from outside his area and toenail offsides conveniently swayed in Varpool`s favour to disallow our goals etc etc. I could be here all day, the examples are endless.

And one bad decision going Spurs` way amongst an ocean of decisions going Varpool`s way does not even things out (before some clever mug pipes up with examples of Spurs being lucky).

And all this bias and favouritism shown towards Varpool will just disappear down a big black hole of refereeing incompetence and bias. It is all worth around an extra undeserved 15 - 20 points per season to the Dippers.

Now we can add Martin Keown to the list of ex pros that said it was red.

so the non penalty on Jota and non red card on Kane at your end place were part of that VAR conspiracy

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes you will Winston, studs up anywhere on the field constitute a red. Studs up in another players face should constitute assault. Mm

Yes, as even Spurs fans have said on this very thread, the big clubs get the decisions.

Bit of a non story really.

There’s no mention of that in the laws of the game.

If you kick the ball, your studs come up because they’re attached to your boot. It doesn’t mean you should be sent off.

This is exactly why Skipp should have been sent off for trying to take out Diaz and send him back for another year in the treatment room, then Skipp wouldn't have been on the pitch for the high boot anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What rubbish. Like saying "I you nicked my knife out of my back pocket earlier, I could not have stabbed you later on. So I am innocent"
The fact is in just about every game where a player kicks another player in the head, whilst he is standing up, is dangerous, out of control play and gets a red.......apart from when it is LiVARpool.
It's the same as completing mission impossible and getting a penalty at OT.
You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know what you're on about. You're constantly coming out with conspiracy theories like officials and pundits are against your club. It's futile to highlight one incident in a game when you got away with plenty yourselves. Third goal came after two fouls ignored by the ref, Skipp should have been off etc.

Thanks for the 6 points, and mind the gap while you weep.

I think we are starting to see the demise of Klopp. It won’t be long until Liverpool are back to the Roy Evans type days of the 90s.

I've not seen a single Liverpool fan call for his head which should tell you everything you need to know given that all your fans ever do is call for someone's head.

Yeah no that is spot on. What he has achieved he should be deciding when he leaves. I feel he has earned that right. Just his negative pressers are becoming more common.

Klopps interview sums the bloke up perfectly, he is a perfect blend of Ferguson & Wenger, an awful individual who is oblivious to all the help his team is gifted every year and immediately deflects away from all the obvious friendly refereeing he enjoys. The bloke is a bad loser, hypocrite and disrespectful.

In all the furore around Jota being let off a red card, people are also over looking the deliberate elbow from Salah on Davies, which drew blood. Yes Salahdive was having his shirt pulled but that does not excuse a violent deliberate elbow into the face of an opponent.

Varpool are dragged along by benefit of doubt refereeing, and they would be nowhere near a Europa League place if the officials did their jobs properly.

You got a free kick and a goal from that incident instead of Liverpool getting a free kick for a foul on Salah.

That's two seasons in a row Spurs have been dragged along by refs against Liverpool.

I thought that the public questioning of the integrity of the game officials, by managers, was a punishable
offense?

Klopp's defense?: It wasn't me complaining. It was the medication they gave me for my painful hamstring!"

He will go down fighting though...In the process, he will fight with every official, so he can get his way and then moan about opposition managers doing the same...Th bloke is highly emotional just like the rest of them, with no sense in him
