GWT: Premier League Matchday 37

[Paulie Gualtieri]

There's obviously no conspiracy happening here but it's quite clear that Liverpool have not been afforded consistent decisions with penalties on the league this season.

Which team has?

but it's quite frustrating to hear fans who don't watch our league games telling us we're wrong and the refs have been fine.

All these highly controversial decisions I think most people in this thread know about and have seen, considering that some make a big fuss of them.

Everton, definitely.

Like I said the decisions shouldn't make a difference for Liverpool because who gives a f*** if you finish second or fourth. I don't care enough to compile the decisions individually and argue that we've been cheated, because again, who gives a f***. I just fine it annoying when "rival" fans argue in favour of all the shitty calls just to go against the large Liverpool contingent on this forum.

Then you would suit much better in a Liverpool fan forum.

Lamela dove? Sigh...here I'll kick you and see how you react...dove...smh...ridiculous

Nah, I don't like echo chambers, I just don't like people who feel the need to play Devil's advocate about things they don't have much knowledge on.

The only ridiculous thing is that you consider that a kick. Contact was weak and minimal and Lamela is a notorious diver. Fat ref was too far away to see it and had to ask the lineman what happened. If fat ref was in position he would have seen

I watch your league and have watched plenty of Pool games.
Refs have made mistakes on both sides. Remembering only the negatives isn't a fair way to look at it. Even less when using "ifs".

 

[Evilo]

Lamela was a weak call. But probably more of a foul than Benatia on Vazquez, which was deemed a huge clear foul by some Pool fans here.

I think the Benatia foul was worse because he went across Vazquez body from behind.

I agree with this and you provide good insight. As I said that's why I only consider the games that stand out to me without, thinking.

That being said I should have also mentioned the penalty Liverpool didnt get for handball in the box against Stoke, which was much more of a handball than what was called on Liverpool in either of the Roma games.

Only thing worse was that Vazquez was in front of the goal. He bumped into him but never touched him with his foot.
At least Lamela get clipped by the defenseman's foot.

The Lamela call wasn't a penalty but the Benatia one clearly was. There have been some missed fouls that Liverpool have committed throughout the season, and in the CL, but this is a weird comparison. You can never go through a player to get the ball, the Benatia penalty is as clear a penalty as it gets.

 

[Evilo]

There you go.

Blind eyes.

Game speed made that one very difficult. I almost felt bad for Oliver. Virgil had better positioning than Benatia on that play though.

I still can’t believe that the Benatia penalty is being debated... there’s no debate. It’s as clear a foul as you’re going to see.

There is debate since bumps in the back are never called in the box.
Much less so at the 94th minute of a tied game. Just never.

Then again, you managed to debate Marcelo's handball which was a penalty by his own admission.

Ok. I will accept that penalty call was bad, the worthy soccer god that you are could never be wrong about such an obvious reffing mistake.

'Bumps in the back'. Interesting description of what Benatia did.

Bump, ran through, it’s the same thing really.

I have no doubt you consider it excessive force. I mean, Firmino made a MUCH worse hit in the back of Stones, and you don't consider it a foul. Remember?

I’m genuinely surprised how hostile people are here on a regular basis.

Agreed!

Like come on people, we are talking sports here!

I don’t help the cause much though, it’s way to easy hit people’s sensitive spots on here.
