Premier League officiating as poor as ever

So someone on a yellow - then does a deliberate handball which is an automatic yellow but somehow ref ignores it

 

[BrianM]

Ipswich will be happy with their first half performance, looked the better side.
Liverpool really poor though, they surely have to improve in the second half.

Why did Atwell need to check the offside - isn’t there semi automated now

Edit - well that was a nice move

Mo Salah now the player with the most goals in opening game of the season

He is a premier league legend

He is a premier league legend

And at least he now has something approaching a decent haircut.

I’ll have a pint of whatever Ellen White is drinking!

Nice second half performance- some great movement and the front three playing well

Can’t understand why so many are tipping City to when the league , after they are deducted 30 points surely that’s to much for them to claw back

30? The more I hear from various sections of the press and media, the more likely I think we will see them relegated. And not just one division either.

I understand that the greater London area alone has thirteen teams in the Premier League and the EFL alone.

When I was a very young boy, New York City had three major league baseball teams--
the Giants in Manhattan, the Yankees in the Bronx, and the Dodgers in Brooklyn.
In 1958, that went down to one, the Yankees.
The Dodgers and Giants moved to California as jet airplane travel became commonplace.
Since 1962, it's been two, the Yankees in the Bronx and the Mets in Queens.

I've got to give you guys credit.
You support your professional sports.
Thirteen major league teams in London alone!

No. It isnt due to be implemented until October at the earliest.

Yep- all the way back down to the league 2

Yea I just plucked 30 out of the air.

Let’s hope they are as strict with City as they were with others.

What an amazing stat

Soccer Saturday is just a waste of time , we have been through the Merson issues and not sure why they put him on the Arsenal match , the rest are just dull as dishwater - then Mike Dean , what a tool that man is

Seems like as part of his severance package Moyes was allowed to pick the first team of the season!

Yep the line up is terrible now.
Clinton Morrison & Sue Smith are awful.
I stopped watching it
