How can we expect players to respect the officials when they see how their managers act.
Arteta & Klopp prime examples

They too should be punished more

Yep - it applies to anyone who is abusive , Klopp was rightly banned . Other sports can manage to ensure players and coaching staff on the whole can behave when playing - unfortunately some can’t see past any tribalism

Please stop arguing and clogging the thread please

Hang on. I thought that was the point of every single thread on this forum?
Bar your DIY one of course

Not really, clips are seconds long "best bits", a full 90 minute watch along cannot be as engaging surely!

Most of them when they come up with some comedy gold moments and the level of Memes is through the roof -the clown that does the Liverpool one is like Uncle Fester - staggering that they actually earn money from it though

Swearing at a referee should be an automatic yellow card - can’t excuse it with heat of the moment nonsense

Bear in mind, the same referee reported VVD to the FA for swearing etc when he was sent off at Newcastle earlier this year, so he decides when it suits him, obviously.

Again, massive inconsistency from this ref when it comes to us.

As you were, for a few months.

I know we're not supposed to argue any more on this thread, but VVD really did deserve to be reported for that though. Although if your point is to identify inconsistency then I'd agree.
But if your point is there's some sort of agenda against Liverpool, then I disagree completely.

Ooh spurs v city tasty
The blades v the seagulls

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Not really too many tasty ties in the draw

Eastleigh or Newport potentially ohosting Man Utd is prob the only one


Shame Maidstone didn’t get a plum Prem team or Wrexham also not getting one

I agree that VVD was out of order, but as was proved by the earlier examples this refs reacts differently when one of our players does it compared to others.

3 worse examples of dissent than Elliott, all ignored, then books our lad for less (and it wasnt a foul).

Every team has that one ref, or a few that behave in this way - Mike Dean for Arsenal, I'm sure even City fans have one that they hate, Man U etc etc

This was also the same ref who cancelled a goal for a non-existent offisde for us against Villa last year, as the ball was "played" by the villa player.

Funnily enough, it was the one who Jurgen celebrated in front of in one game last year (he shouldn't have, BTW), so he obviously has a long memory.

Now let me get back in my box.

Said ref is actually one of the worst as far as Arsenal fans are concerned, maybe we should only have him if Lpool are the oppos lol. That said Atwell on another level....

Where’s VAR when you need it?

There’s a website for snitches to upload it.

It's time to bring In the elite female refs to the premier league

Bar Micheal Olivier our refs are pretty awful and the players show them no respect.

I bet behaviour would improve with the ladies in charge because what self respecting man would get in a women's face and shout abuse at her.

Also it would make joey Barton's head explode so it's a win win

If that were the case, I'd have him on commentary.
