Live Match Discussion 2023/24

I guess we see it different, for me he took the guys legs and was no-where near the ball.

And explain to me why that’s a yellow card?

I'd give up if I were you, he's just wumming you. Either that or he's not watched any football for about the last 15 years.

I'm bailing out of that discussion, it's starting to impact my 'buzz' from earlier.

I don’t see tripping a player up as a yellow card , particularly following the first. Don’t think the laws of the game support that either.

Otherwise Moutinho would have been sent if 3 times a game.

Fair enough, its just opinions, not sure what else I can say, I'll leave the discussion there.

He was lying on his back (can't recall João ever being) when he makes the challenge, swings his boot and gets nowhere near the ball. It's a monumentally stupid challenge when you've been booked two minutes earlier (ridiculously).

I also realise that having suggested that @sycophantia leave this conversation. I'm as equally silly as Diogo was for making that challenge.

You’ve fell into the trap of thinking a challenge going to ground making a genuine attempt for the ball is more severe than a trip making little/no attempt (Moutinho the master of). Given the nature of the first, to get sent off for the second is incredibly unlucky, Particulalry when you factor in the the other bad luck/incompetence (the offside), which was my original point.

Jones is a red all day.

 

[Alan]

It’s as much a red as the infamous Batth one.

No you repeatedly asked how the second foul is a yellow card. When it's a foul that gets a yellow card guaranteed in pretty much every game for the last 20 years, even Klopp came out and said as much.

 

[PuntsWolf]

I’ll take the L(s).

 

[Tony Towner]

Special. He thought the goal had been given so thought he was confirming it was onside or at least that's the official version. He's watching one game and also has an assistant.

[Carrotdude]

That’s another level of incompetence that. How can they not have a conversation and surely they realised two seconds later they’d been a mix up - just pull it back FFS.

 

[Carrotdude]

Although it’s a little bit funny that Liverpool were the ones who got screwed this time.

By the laws of the game as soon as Spurs take the free kick for offside you can't. Following a technicality rather than correcting an enormous cock up is very PGMOL

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

PGMOL incompetence is now reaching catastrophic levels. If it were in any way practical (sadly it isn’t) I would stop the season, sack the lot, hire new officials and go again when the posts are filled with non-idiots

 

[Tony Towner]

I was hoping this was photoshopped but apparently not. Wouldn't be upset if he loses his job and gets filled in for good measure.

Both spent last night in custody

That’s incredible

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s woeful. It’s embarrassing. It’s incompetent.

Best league in the world. My arse.

 

[sycophantia]

Refs making mistakes is fine but var was brought in to put that right. Obviously you'll still get contentious issues around mm offsides but they make mistakes in cases that are clear cut and then tie themselves in knots trying to explain those mistakes or mitigating circumstances. It's getting really embarrassing. PGMOL needs completely dismantling and starting again with all new faces.
