Sorry the refs in charge not the players .
they will always try and get away with what he lets them.
That’s my stance ,you don’t agree that’s your opinion.

If you really think players are going to stop making bad tackles your living in cloud cuckoo land be it intentional or accidental it will always happen.
If a player dosnt make a tackle his manager will want to know why he didn’t.
But one thing is constant ,the ref is in charge. Allegedly!

Making a bad tackle, mis-timed tackle, clumsy challenge, etc can absolutely happen to anyone as no one is perfect, but that is a different scenario to your previous post were you said players deliberately kick lumps out of each other in the first 10 minutes as the players need to warm up!

If a player makes a genuine effort to tackle etc and mess’s up, I 100% agree it is the Refs job to pull them up.

If a player deliberately fouls a player then again I agree 100% it is the Refs job to pull them.

The difference in the 2 is that the player deliberately committing a foul has a choice and can avoid the Ref getting involved.

But as far as you are concerned whatever the player does, that’s ok because it’s the Refs job to see it!

Further proof that the footballs administrators are not in touch with the real world https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55193287

Perhaps they need to listen to supporters https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55160134

Like I said, let's get the crowds back and see what happens when some of these ridiculous decisions keep happening. It won't take much for things to turn sour.

VAR is killing the game. It's being used far too much, it takes power away from the refs so they get in a comfort zone and the VAR officials haven't got a clue. They can hide in Stockley and don't have to account for anything. If something needs to be replayed more than thrice it's not a clear and obvious mistake. The replays should be capped at three times or then the ref decision stands.

It's insane replaying the same thing 30 times for someone to not know either way. The same mistakes are being made, just down the chain. The difference is you can forgive a ref on the pitch for making the odd bad call, you can't forgive someone stopping the game and looking at the replay with 10 angles, slow motion and repeats.

Tomorrow and Sunday has a great set of games but you just know come Sunday night, VAR will be the biggest talking point over the football.

Agree - it was meant to help the refs, "they need help" everyone said. Instead of helping them it undermines them to the point they're not reffing the game anymore they're basically giving what they're told to give. That's not helping them.

Is Iwobi even a footballer?
Click to expand...
No. Season and a half in and I'm still waiting to see what he brings to the team. Jeez, he was an appalling, panic buy. We fixated on Zaha, couldn't get him and then someone thought Iwobi would be equivalent ??.

Not sure we have made a worse buy. We will make a huge loss on him as I can't see any improvement happening or what any one else would see in him.
 
The phone in on Radio Merseyside was fun, my favourite line was "Ronnie, they've ruined my weekend again" ???
