Karius dropped tonight, very surprised at that decision.

Hopefully Klopp has done it to try to protect him, Mignolet will be under massive scrutiny. I hope his kicking has improved...

No, no .................. he's just realised that Carragher and the Nevilles are, indeed, correct! :whistle:

It's Klippety playing mind games, Mingolet comes in tonight against a small team that you'll beat easily and does nothing to impress. Karius restored monday and has a worldie against us, Klippety's a hero and I bury me head in sand till May😃

more concerning the refs arent learning any lessons (or acting on whats right in front of their eyes)!

whilst I agree he should have gone both times. That to me looks like you're suggesting they should have his card marked before kick off.

That only leads to trouble.

Big 3 points that taking us 6 points clear, and although it will be no picnic away to Palace early on Saturday, with Arsenal & Man City playing each other along with the Merseyside derby and also Manure away to West Brom I can only see 1 banker in Spurs so they'll be a few more positional changes by the end of the weekend, except us 😜👍😎

Well that Manc match had some of the worst referring you will see

Rojo should have gone
First goal was handball then offside
Then should have been a handball and penalty
Then a disallowed goal that should have stood
Then Pogba it appeared to take a dive when on a yellow

Just shocking from the ref

Did he get away with it again,due to getting a yellow?

Yes mate, he did; there's no doubt it should have been red, a ban and down to 10 men for the remainder of the game. A yellow is hardly an adequate substitute for what he should have got, yet assures him that he won't get a retrospective ban as the referee has apparently dealt with it. You could argue a yellow is actually worse than no card at all as no card would at least leave a retrospective ban as a possibility.

Yep, and for two games in quick succession. By rights he would have now been banned for at least 4 games for two reds.

The law (FA) is an ass.

Bradley Lowery is a 5yr Old local lad up here who has Leukemia. You may or may not of seen the fundraisings efforts of the Sunderland Fans to raise money to get him to America for treatment, unfortunately last week his family were told the heartbreaking news that the cancer had returned and he may only have a few months left.
So tonight Sunderland made him the mascot against Chelsea and before the game he went on to the pitch with the players.
Diego Costa was superb with him, he took him into the 18yd box, had a knock about with him and then got Bradley to take a few penalties against Courtois, he scored them all, twice sending Courtois the wrong way 😃
Hats off to Chelsea, his little face was beaming when he left the pitch.
We get enough slagging of each others teams, nice to be able to post a positive.

IT seems at the moment if we can get a decision from a ref it's a shocking one!

Maybe a another colour card should be introduced, let's say a blue one for 'going on report', very much like in RL when it's obvious to all concerned something has happened but the ref can't be 100% sure, this then stops him dishing out a yellow as a safety net believing he has then dealt with it but as in a few cases we have all seen just lately, that can benefit player instead of punishing him correctly. A board then reviews the incident within 72 hours and the appropriate punishment, if any is announced.

Seems a simple and effective measure to me, keeps the game moving as a swift blue is shown which would also play on the player's mind the rest of the match and would also eliminate the amount of diving as blue cards in those incidents could then be much easily dealt with than they are now.
