ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


He definitely didn't - ineptitude and inconsistency are two words that come to mind.

Off the top of my head - Diaz pushing players without even trying to play for the ball, 3 times, one wasn't even a foul somehow.
Mac Allister was given license to kick and slap and there were no fouls given, let alone the deserved yellows.
Robertson was only given a yellow not for the pushes and persistent fouling, but for having a go at the ref apparently?
Their right back getting a yellow for the 3rd foul of the same kind, then as soon as he's about to receive a yellow for a clumsy/reckless challenge - Oliver gets cold hands and just warns him that his 5th foul is the last, so he can be subbed off.
Curtis Jones studs up challenge as soon as he comes on.

There's some on our side that were dubious as well, don't get me wrong, but Oliver was straight up their 12th man for about 70 minutes. If those decisions go against them, as they should because they go against us - Lindstrom's yellow was for nothing, Gueye figured out he can no longer mark anyone tightly as his was also bogus - we'd be playing against 9 men or less. Fully expected the ""PUSH"" on Konate to be given as well, even though calling it a push is hilarious and is only egregious if it suits them apparently :)

Tears are flowing and it's great for what it's worth. The football subreddit is just them crying wolf under the highlights from the game :lol:
He kicked the ball away after the free kick was given.
 

Ah so it wasn't the 2nd or 3rd foul he commits or the push in the back of a player who got past him - Oliver drew a line at "kicking the ball away".
Kind of sums up Oliver really. Lindstrom booked for asking for a yellow card for Mac Allister, Robertson booked for kicking the ball away,Jones and Doucoure booked for handbags. He's a petty referee.
 


I've seen this loads as well - 'ref should've blown up 2 minutes earlier!!'

Well, no? It was a minimum of 5 minutes with two more stoppages and the ball went out of play a few times, so that's where it came from. Very simple to comprehend :lol:

Cheeky b'stards this lot.. was completely fine when they had 9 minutes pulled out of their arse for them at Plymouth the other day though!
 
Most sides have a couple of hard men or to put it bluntly, foulers. The RS are now successfully close to having a whole team of them plus a nasty backroom quota as backup.

Its bad enough with the now general trend of full scale grappling in the box at corners. Their lot have taken it to a new level however with their thugs and their self entitlement to foul at will that seems engrained in all of them. Its easier to name those who arent recognised as dirty in their ranks rather than the horde of ratbags they cocoon. Its an absolute disgrace yet will never be called out by their brown nosed media cult.
