Agreed Morgan! There are some on here that would be wanting him gone because we only managed a draw 🤣 Seriously though when we were looking and he was a free agent there were plenty saying he was merde!

[Fxxx the SPFL]

As much as Tierney is a good player he's also a diving cheating we bassa just went down clutching his head when replay showed that the foul was nowhere near his head. even the commentator pointed that out

Micah Richards looks down today.  Obviously missing his pal Roy.

You don't know the Laws of the Game

 

Probably thought you knew them 30 years ago.

 

 

All in the mucking about with the game. It’s never a pen, laws tweaked or not. 
 

To me, it’s like rules in life, there’s right and wrong but football is a huge grey area now.  
 

What next? A defender turning away from goal at a clearance and an in-rushing forward is accidentally knocked over in the melee.....penalty?

 

But the new geeky fans love all this because they live out of rule books.

Defender caught him with his raised leg. 

 

Doesn't matter he didn't mean it. 

 

Your scenario is correct.

Fulham have completely changed things. We could get a proper relegation battle.

What a fecking finish by the Palace boy

[The Gorgie]

Southampton penalty claim turned down, thanks to VAR. Exactly the same as the one given against us v QoS, boy kicks his leg into the defender and goes down. Grahame Souness rightly calling it out as cheating. Yet up here the pundits were praising the QoS player. Mental.

Father of Liverpool goalkeeper drowns in his native Brazil

 

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker's father, Jose Agostinho Becker, has died aged 57 in Brazil.

Local police inspector Doroteo Machado Filho said Becker drowned at a dam near his holiday home in Lavras do Sul.

Liverpool said they are "deeply saddened" by the death and asked for privacy for Alisson and his family.

"The thoughts of everybody at the club are with Alisson and the Becker family at this incredibly sad and difficult time," the Premier League club tweeted.

Alisson's former club Internacional, as well as fellow Brazilian club Fluminense, where his brother Muriel plays, have also expressed their sadness.

Alisson's Liverpool team-mates Adrian and Virgil van Dijk both expressed their support on Instagram, the former writing: "We are all with you hermano."

 

I would imagine he'll be out for at least 2 weeks taking into account Covid isolation procedures should he go home to Brazil

At Everton and Preston??? And now West Ham he's proving what he can actually do. At Man U, I think the players were the problem.

A year or two after he was sacked at Man U he was on Sky and said something along the lines that the club needed a major rebuild and that people would be shocked at the state of the club and its infrastructure. 

He was also badly let down by Woodward eg the signing of Felani was a disaster for him.

Man united just repeated themselves after the retirement of Matt Busby. They are giving Solskjaer far more leeway than they ever gave Moyes and others.

He made an arse of it in Spain but that may have been down to a variety of reasons, the lingo being one of them.

 

I would love him at Hearts!

City v West Ham today.

Huge game for both.

The first of 3 in a row home league games for City.

Some big games coming up for Chelsea as well.

Two wins in their next games make them a good bet for a champions league place.

[Jamhammer]

Good game at Etihad. West Ham playing well again.

Fair play to Moyesie. He’s got them playing for each other, working hard and they look pretty solid. Most unlike West Ham.

Citeh are class though. Gonna be a hard 45

[132goals1958]

Brighton just missed a second penalty. Wellbeck  hits the post and miss-controls the rebound. Commentator queries why an indirect kick is awarded to West Brom and suggests off-side. You would think they would know the rules.

[Maroon Sailor]

That could have huge consequences for Brighton come the end of the season.

 

Similar to the Sheff Utd goal at Aston Villa that wasn't awarded last season that helped Villa survive.

It was an absolute shocker. MOTD showed Lewis dunk has done that previously against Liverpool and the goal stood. Almost as bad as the two penalty misses Brighton had.

Looks as if Mason has panicked when he seen the goalie was away for a pie.

He has blown a 2nd whistle before the ball goes in. How MotD explained it.

Never seen it live, did var official tell him the ball wasn't in for the 2nd whistle?

 

Must admit, I didn't any whistles.

Not Lee Masons finest moment.

Good laugh for everyone  except  Brighton or punters with money on it?

Two missed penalties dont help.

It was hilarious, I watched it live. It looked like the player hitting the free kick said he was ready to play and the ref has blew his whistle then noticed the goalkeeper was still over at the post so he blew again, everyone goes bonkers and starts arguing with him and then someone in his ear tells him you blew the whistle to start the game so he awards the goal and then the West Brom players all go nuts and then VAR gets involved and decides he blew the second whistle before the ball crossed the line so no goal 😂

 

harsh on Brighton he shouldn’t have blew the original whistle if he wasn’t ready for the game to begin. It wasn’t as if it was a quick free kick either they were standing over the ball a good 20-30 seconds before the first whistle. Goal should have stood imo 

 

ps Brighton missed 2 penalties  and missed a near enough open goal from 8 yards out. Funny as feck for anyone watching apart from Brighton fans obv

the question i would ask what is the difference between yesterdays disallowed goal and this one brighton scored from around 2.14 for the goal

Cheers

If the ref isn't sorting the wall or talking to a player, a quick one should be allowed.

Other than that you clearly tell everyone to wait for the whistle. Its up to the ref then to check all is set. Which he never.

 

A bit like the Wales try yesterday too. All the English were having a picnic whe the ref blew. Joyous.

Yes but I don’t think the ref blew his whistle twice!  I’m sure we would have heard all about it from Celtic.  Or maybe not on that occasion as it helped stop Rangers qualify for the Champions League!

Don’t think that was really the same scenario.  The one v Celtic was more similar in the sense iirc Boruc wasn’t ready.  The one at Hampden was just a good free kick and a shit keeper getting beaten at his near post.

I see Tierney at Arsenal still hasn’t shaken the Celtic teachings instilled in him by that scummy club. Trying to get an opposition carded and faking a head knock. You can take the boy away from the scum but you can’t take the scum away from the boy.

[tian447]

There was a very good point made on MotD last night about the free kick. 

 

If you're on a promising attack and get fouled, why should the defending team get a chance to get back into position and set up, rather than just being allowed to take the free kick quickly. It doubly punishes the attacking team, who lose the initial chance for the foul, and then don't get the chance to take it quickly and effectively play on. 

 

That Dunk free kick should have stood, mainly because the referee gave the go ahead to take it. You can't then shite it when it's leading to a goal, you have to stick with the original decision. Disgraceful scenes and it's the sort of thing that if it happened to us, I'd hold a grudge about it for the rest of my life.

i wonder if mourinho calling out bale a few weeks ago for tweeting he had a good training session, while mourinho said something like all he did was get tratment during it has rguven bale the massive kick he has needed to actually try and perform.
