Agree with Carragher not being on there, but Merson ? The guy can't even tell you whose playing despite it being plastered all over his shirt

I reckon Stu’s comment is tongue in cheek.
Can I ask why you think Carragher shouldn’t be on there?

Why does it?

Just cos one ref says it was/wasnt doesnt make it lore.

Because it backs up his opinion that means it’s sorted - but doesn’t take into account that Gallagher had plenty of mistakes in his time and wrong decisions - did laugh when he says “tangled with shirt “ - that doesn’t explain the two big stud marks going across Ings back - many refs won’t give it because it’s a keeper , any outfield player doing it and it’s a red card all day

It settles it because he agreed with what I said of course. :D Still, it's the nearest thing to an authority on it we could get - an actual ref's view.

Well I'm going with what Homer says, because he is a qualified ref, dontcherknow.

1980's vintage, so like GCSE maths exams, maybe the criteria was different in them days.:rofl:

Not just my opinion but that of a number on here. Of course Gallagher made mistakes but he has done it at that level and in HIS opinion it wasn't a foul. Ultimately that is the same opinion as on the field. It's about making decisions and opinion and clearly both the ref on the day and Gallagher didn't see it as a red card. Others will disagree but it won't change the outcome and there isn't going to be any retrospective action

Everton keeper on an on-loan Liverpool striker. Small wonder which side he would take in that debate.

Shocker! ;)

Pickford certainly caught him, my initial post was genuine in that on another day, regardless of club loyalties, I could see a different ref making a different decision and the issue of consistencey would be raised.

But which one would be right? There'll never be 100% consistency because of the human factor. They're both right, and both wrong. Play to the whistle

Yep, it’s trying to prove intent, but the ref is the one castigated.
Pokerjoke believes Pickford made a 2nd movement with his leg, maybe the ref didn’t have that angle.
Ings turned his back, is that reckless or was he expecting to be hit.
Certainly agree keepers are protected, last night I thought Hennessey got lucky, Mane was watching the ball, keeper and 2 players collide, keeper given a foul!

Michael Oliver has awarded Liverpool 7 penalties in the last 9 Liverpool games he has refereed. The 12th man not the Cop.....


Come back Howard Webb! ;)

What are his stats for giving penalties in all games though? Irrelevant stat without context. There seems to be a penalty in 7 out of 9 games generally these days.
 
Been sent a what's app message today which states that last time Utd won a match by five or more goals was back in August 2011. However since August 2011 Man City have won a match by five or more 21 times. Anyone able to clarify that or is it fake news.

DERMOT SAYS: "I don't think this is a foul. The player gets the ball quite clearly. The goalkeeper goes to win the ball, he gets the ball and he's in the air, and his boot catches the shirt. I don't think any referee is going to give a foul for that.

"The goalkeeper has to go for the ball and he's cleared the ball. He's got tangled up in the shirt, and the referee was right to play on."


That settles it then. :thup:

i Thought He was a goalkeeper when he is in his 18yrd box, as soon as he leaves the 18yd box he is just another player!
Any other player whose foot is that high would be deemed out of control and it would be a foul and possibly a red card.

Jamie Vardy got the ball the other day but he got a red card for excessive force what’s that?

Vardy was totally deserving of his red card. There's one angle on the replays that shows he has a little look at where the opponent is as he's going towards the ball. In my opinion he definitely knew what he was doing.

Watch the two replays from around 22 seconds into this clip. He definitely has a little look.......
