The Footie Thread

[AmandaJR]

I always think of Harry as a decent guy and pretty much model pro. How can he not be embarrassed and totally ashamed of his theatrics? The fact he won't be, and would do the same again, is all I need to know about modern football...

There are still players who stay on their feet and are generally honest, but they are very, very rare. It's sad.

We had it years ago when we played arsenal away, Matt Jarvis hacked in box. Didn't go down. Everyone (pundits, the ref panel after) said should be a pen .. if he had gone down it would be a pen

Poor standard of officials have got us to where players feel they have to go down to get a foul

Mitrovic 8 match ban

I agree with the ban, but we all know this will be used to others when it suits. Only this Saturday two players pushed the referee (albeit lightly), when they insisted an opposition player should be sent off.

Di Canio got an 11 match ban for his tiny little shove of the ref who went down like Salah in the box lol

Interesting Liverpool side tonight

VAR really should mean there is no reason for the likes of Kane, Fernandes and co to highlight anything to the referee. They merely make themselves look like pillocks.

I remember Ronaldo’s early days at United. He used to hit the deck at every opportunity, so much so that he actually got as much grief from the Old Trafford faithful as he did from visiting fans. Not quite the same as the overacting we see in order to get opponents carded, but infuriating nevertheless.

I really don’t care about the level of “force” some think they saw at Goodison last night. Kane’s reaction was clearly slightly delayed, and very obviously over the top. He’s a grown man playing a contact sport for pity’s sake. He should have woken this morning feeling utterly embarrassed by his antics. But, of course, we all know that won’t have happened.

I agree but VAR isn’t exactly 100% and always backs up the refs mistakes.

8 games isn’t long enough in my book. The FA are far too lenient on players abusing referees. At all levels!

Another night another clear yellow card not given to a centre half early in the game...............

Surprised he didn’t get a card , can only think there was a bit of a slip

even with a slip its a card, just an awful refs directive currently

 

[fundy]

So annoying they draw a blue VAR line on the Liverpool player and the red VAR line on the Chelsea player lol

Chelsea can’t finish .
Liverpool got to many players that don’t think forward and play to many backward balls.
awful game.

How has Jotta kept his place he dosnt look fit to me.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

The is a mirror image of the two teams season

Chelsea can’t finish

Liverpool lack any confidence or energy

Jota kept his place purely as a “warning” in my book. Definitely not match fit.

Lucky to be going in level. If Chelsea had a centre forward they’d be out of sight. Nunez needs to get central for me, he can’t use his pace against Fofana and James. They have to be the quickest CB/RB pair in the league.

Ok so why the heck are Sky calling Félix - “Félax” ?!!

 

[IanM]

Just checking that Sky 401 is showing Premier League tonight.

Crikey, it's a bit poor. Cue a worldie now I've said that

I bet Graham Potter is laughing his socks off whilst perusing through his Aston Martin brochures

Worst game I have seen all season .
The lack of quality in our side is woeful .
Fabinio is an accident waiting to happen ,suprized he wasn’t hooked.
we are wide open and lucky to get a point imo.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Well that was the result most expected - guess at least we didn’t spend £600mil on being that poor

 

[Deleted member 18121]

Not sure how that was the for neutral.... But what an appalling way to spend a couple of hours that was.
