SectionDJambo Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Can’t help myself. Aston Villa, a club who, I’m fairly sure, would have been demoted under a similar vote that demoted Hearts, Partick and Stranraer, had the EPL copied the easy, and corrupt, option taken by Doncaster and his cabal, not only escaped relegation on the playing field, but have thrived through sporting means. Football, when it is allowed to reach sporting, rather than dubious, convenient and arbitrary, conclusions can still be a beautiful game. Unfortunately, there are too many scunners in Scottish football and the Scottish sports media, to replicate such sporting fairness. Quote
JackLadd Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Liverpool were pretty abysmal, overrun and playing way too high. Worst offender Gomez who never showed up. Credit to Villa though, going to have a good season. Quote

1971fozzy Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Just watched the Villa highlights. 3 bizarre deflections and an offside goal. Also fat arse McGinn definitely gave a foul for what should of been a penalty early on. funny as, but they had some luck tbf. Edited October 4, 2020 by 1971fozzy Quote

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Liverpool Is it just me or was that like a game under Stendel? Passes picked behind at will. Quote
Cruyff Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 I can understand how Liverpool got pumped. They've got so used to winning that they think all they need to do is turn up but when everyone is playing with the same attitude and Villa have come with a plan that was always bound to happen at some point. Villa got a fair bit of luck with deflections but more than deserved it. Man Utd however are a complete shambles. Quote

I thought the header was offside but totally agree fully deserved. All I was meaning was they got some fortunate goals through deflections, but your 100% correct they had loads of chances and thoroughly merited their huge win. I’m not a Liverpool fan by the way. Always delighted when the underdogs win and especially by large margins Quote

Always delighted when the underdogs win and especially by large margins I don't think an offside goal is possible anymore with var. It's about the only thing that it works with! Agreed, some of the deflections were fortunate. Also agree the scoreline didn't flatter them at all. "Mr Keane" highlighted Liverpool's sloppy defending last week and was pulled up for it. I bet he's sitting with a wry smile on his face tonight. Liverpool have looked far from convincing at the back since the return from lockdown. That's been coming. Quote

Tommy Brown Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 My faith has been restored in football with yesterday's results. Just watched the highlights on MOTD2 without knowing the results. EPL is shaping up to be the most unpredictable ever, every team wants to have a go, great to watch now. Cant for the life of me understand how the Spurs player doesn't get the red too. Surely VAR should be coming into that decision. Quote

CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Liverpool 1 up at Everton and may have had a penalty as Pickford gets lucky Rangers go 1 up However Van Dyke off due to Pickfords challenge...How he was not booked just because the player was offside amazes me Edited October 17, 2020 by CJGJ Quote

A player can be cautioned or sent off in the tunnel pre- match, after the half time whistle and after the full time whistle. In all three of these instances the ball is not in play. Pickford is a very lucky boy. Quote
CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 1-1 from a corner and Van Dyke missed clearly Quote
benny Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 You will win nowt with Pickford in goals. 1/1. Quote
CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 2-1 Liverpool after a poor clearance but fine finish from Salah Quote
CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) 2-2 and a goal; from a cross ..Calvert Lewin He did well to move away from the centre backs to pick up on Robertson Almost 3-2 Liverpool....good match so far but Pickfords challenge has changed the game Edited October 17, 2020 by CJGJ Quote
CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Richarleson off..terrible challenge. Everton down to 10 and stupidity from the player though they should have been down to 10 much earlier. Oh and it was after the whistle for an earlier challenge making the Pickford decision even worse Edited October 17, 2020 by CJGJ Quote
gashauskis9 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Superb advert for the game. End to end stuff. Can’t take my eyes off it. Quote

CJGJ Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Offside to stop 3-2 Liverpool and a Pickford error but pictures show onside for me Looks a terrible decision by VAR Quote
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Holy shit. Why was that disallowed? Was too busy posting above. 😄 Quote
John Findlay Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 VAR seriously, spoiling the game. Simple as that. Quote
gashauskis9 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Everton are my English team, but that VAR decision was ridiculous. Quote
Mikey1874 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I thought the Premier League had changed their approach to VAR offsides. Looking closely it is offside but not really in spirit of game. It should be clear and obvious. Edited October 17, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote
Mikey1874 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Having said that for their fight and battling Everton deserved a draw. Quote
Jeff Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 That's a joke of a decision. As was Pickfords assault on Van Dikj Quote
