davefizzy14 Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Says it all really. Absolute joke! We should have been given a penalty, then we would have gone 1 up. But nope Friend gives naff all and they go up the other end and score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Great first half by Saints. Liverpool came out and played much better 2nd half butttttt Penalty 2nd half is a huge match changer. Ings gets caught, seems to get punished for attempting to stay on his feet. Often i see refs side but today Friend seemed desperate to not step on liverpool's run. How wasn't robertson's backpass a backpass. Also shows the problems with var it will check a penalty situation but not a free kick on the goalline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, he’s correct... although, they didn’t look at the decision in more detail, which if that had, would have given a penalty. Serious questions should be asked about the officiating today.

saint97 Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Good 45 mins then just beaten by a much better side, embarrassing to blame it on the ref though. Midfield was way too quick for us. Still don't think it was a pen on Ings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevy777_x Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 VAR is not the problem and has never been. It is the incompetent referees we have in this league. VAR is just exposing more and more the fact that they are crap. Before you could always say the referee wasn t well positioned enough to see the action now they know longer have this excuse.

Shroppie Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 I can't recall a more blatant biased refereeing performance. Back pass ignored. Freekick to them on the edge of the area for a clean tackle. Clear penalty not given. Their keeper handled outside the area. Nothing. Every challenge by us: free kick. Every challenge by them: play on. Yellow card not given. Liverpool are good enough to win the league fairly. Getting the sort of decision they did today makes it a mockery. Friend may not have won it fir them today, but without his cheating, we would have run them close. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Pete Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Seriously, we ought to make an official objection next time he is selected to ref us. At least that would make them think twice about giving him our games in future after that. Does anyone know definitively whether VAR did review the penalty on Ings or not? Was this referred to in post match interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 We can complain all we like. But why is he immune to proper investigation? This went way beyond questionable decisions and, IMO, was deliberate bias. The PL need to act, but won't, because they have too much invested in foreign interest in the "top" teams staying at the top.

Shroppie Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 VAR reviews all such incidents.Not if play continues for a while. Can you imagine the reaction if, after a Liverpool goal at Anfield, it had been called back for a penalty to us? But it should have been. As it stands, VAR is toothless and just as open to subjectivity, bias and cheating as leaving decisions to the ref.

That's what usually happens. Why didn't that happen? Because whoever was in control of VAR didn’t deem it to be sufficient enough to review further. The official in charge of VAR reviews pretty much every tackle, if they feel like it was potentially a ‘clear and obvious error’ by the match official, then further investigation takes place.

derry Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Friend started off the game favouring Liverpool, giving us the odd free kick and penalising us everywhere else. Ings was tripped as he was going through, ignored, Liverpool break and score. The back pass was no accident, Friend ignored it. We did well. 17 shots, 11 corners. The result was really a travesty. JWP had a good game. Hojbjerg and Romeo went missing at vital times. Just before Boufal selfishly lost the ball, Hoibjerg gave it away under no pressure. A regular occurrence. It looks like he just doesn't look. When he broke through and shot too early he'd clearly panicked. The back four were quite good. Redmond, who wasn't as effective today and Djenepo were lively whilst Ings and Long caused Liverpool trouble all afternoon. Adams and Obefemi don't seem to get it, neither do they bust a gut during their twenty minutes. Obefemi with his pace does a lot of spectating and loping rather than making the effort to close down. Adams looks more like a midfielder looking to pass rather than a striker. It looks a league to high for him at the moment. For me, get Valery in at right back and JWP back into midfield, we missed him there the way he is playing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Pete Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 There was no review because the goal was given and there was no delay or VAR opinion given. Penalty appraisals usually take a while. In that case it’s unacceptable really. It would certainly have been at least reviewed had it been the other way around and decision most likely reversed. Shows that VAR, whilst an improvement in terms of getting the right decisions, still provides enough wriggle room for the officials usual bias towards the favoured teams.
