Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[clubchamp98]

A pal of mine has just sent me a picture of the injury. God almighty it dont look good.

Hopefully it looks worse than it is.
A break never looks good.

That’s no guarantee they would get the decisions right though!
If you used one of your calls and they didn’t give a pen like Everton today you would not be happy.

No different to the risk in Cricket etc, but the players on the field are likely to be more aware of what is an actual offence and when to appeal and when not.

But in cricket, if they don't appeal the umpire cannot give them out. It also leads to excessive appealing by certain players or nations.

Hence the idea of limited appeals, and it still wouldn’t stop the Ref making decisions. Not suggesting we copy cricket, just possibly learn from them.

The stamp I was talking about, over the top. Left the player in on the floor. Yet son runs away all innocent oh I didn't realize I stamped on you

The ball is out of the picture behind cleared up field btw so not even on the ball

Son is one of the nicest guys in football, there's no doubt in my mind it was simply a late sliding challenge with no malicious intent. Unless he comes out and says otherwise. It was simply appalling luck that he snapped his ankle on the ground while off balance. There are 10 or 12 tackles like that every game. People get tackles wrong and they get booked. The injury was extremely unfortunate.

Nice guys don’t hack people down, ball was nowhere to be seen.
If that’s what you belive fine .
I can’t stand this “He’s not that type of player” when he has just put somebody’s career in dought.
He is as are all footballers that commit “professional fouls “ that’s how I saw it.

Son deliberately takes Gomes out knowing he is no-where near the ball. It's a cheap shot, and worthy of a long ban.

Not to mention his lash out Vs bournmouth that got him a red... That spurs tried to defend because the player had fouled him a few times and got away with it

And apparently today Gomez had elbowed him in the face

He is a player with a history of seeking out on pitch revenge

No where near the nice guy he seems

If I remember correctly rice had the ball and was playing it up field after receiving it from Snodgrass

Sorry but that's absolute rubbish.

Son's tackle was late but no way was it "a cheap shot".

So shall we get referees from space then?

The whole dynamic of VAR is wrong, instead of the ref on the pitch or the one at Stockley deciding when to use it, take it out their hands, 3 reviews per game to be decided by the captain of the team within 30 seconds.

Yeah, they'll be better than the clowns we've currently got.

I said this in the previous conversation we had, let's start with getting rid of the inept refs and start blooding newer refs in.

When was the last time a PL ref was dropped from PL rota?

Until then, we'll just stumble into an oblivion with this crop of refs winging it.

Riley, one of the worst PL refs ever is in charge of these muppets and until he goes they'll continue serving up what they're doing now.

Your idea of taking it out of the refs hands isn't fit for purpose in football.

Ive watched the clip, and the ball is well past Son when he deliberately takes his feet.
What else is it?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Stu I've been on the receiving end of some trolling due to this so it wouldn't hurt to acknowledge just once that actually Mane does actually cheat/dive. People make out that l'm making this stuff up.

No we're not. Mane does dive and he also exaggerates contact, but you only bark on about him all the time when tonnes of other players also do it.

Fecking boring.

I think every player and supporters could see Ali’s hand ball but the ref and Shockley didn’t.
Appeals will not sort out the decisions.

And I watched the game including the tackle in real time.

A cheap shot is an attempt to hurt the other player with no risk of getting hurt yourself.

It is not a simple mistimed tackle.

The handball rule change is pathetic. That isnt a pen imo. It's not deliberate.

It also looked like it came off Mina's shoulder and onto his hand.

Onto the offsides, we seem to be going away from why offside was brought in. Pathetic.

Complaining about refs is immemorial, you live in cloud cuckoo-land if you think that there are 20 refs out there who will be amazing, with the speed of the game now, technology is needed its just being mis-used in application and for me a major improvement would be a limit of 6 uses a game, 3 on each side.

You could also use it to get cheats sent off. Just say, oo, I dont know....Mane did two dives, opposing captain gets VAR to review, he gets a red - it can also cut down on cheating.

If a player fouls someone clearly, and a pen given, the captain of the side who fouled could ask his full back - "did you take him out", defender sayd yes TBH, so the capatin wont use a review up.

Look where his hand is ,that’s a pen for me.
He clearly diverts the flight of the ball.

Totally agree the offside.

No system is perfect, but some more than others.

Like at the cricket, you get 30 seconds to decide, time to ask your own players who may actually admit things. You have 3 so use them wisely, who knows in some matches you may only use 1 or 2 of them.
