Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

[MaximusEvertonius]

It’s not just the yellow for the quick free kick. It’s what it means to our club and KDH because the cumulative number of yellows.

 

[Wat Tyler]

It’s not just the major ones, it’s the small ones that you half forget about: a throw in the opposition get when we are building pressure, a corner they get when no one can see any deflection, a 50/50 shirt tug, they get the free kick. They always play a part in changing the game.

But the whole point is that you won’t think that, that’s literally what I’m saying to you. You aren’t counting the wolves decision as us getting away with one, but if you were a wolves fan (or the PGMOL) you would be. You can’t say you understand the point if you’re going to ignore the very example that’s been given to you to back it up.

I can understand your point and disagree with you. I’m not ignoring this one good decision you’re saying we’ve gotten, I’m telling you I don’t remember it and that we would still be owed a few if we did get away with one.

And saying the pgmol say it should’ve been a penalty means nothing to me because they also said the Leeds and Brighton ones were penalties, yet we see people get away with them every week.

Jaysus,glad I missed that

I doubt they'll need more than a very small brush to 'gloss over it'.

Might just have another look at that on the YooToobs to cheer myself up. Never fails to do the trick.

Sorry you’re still not getting it. What I’m saying you’re ignoring isn’t the decision, it’s the fact you don’t remember it! That is the point in a nutshell, you don’t remember the decisions that go for us but do remember the ones that don’t. That is quite literally the entire point being made and yet you’re just skirting round it saying you understand but it’s wrong, even though you’re proving it right just by saying it.

If there was anything that proved that the officiating is biased and corrupt it is that yellow card. Don't think i have ever seen a yellow card for trying to take a quick free kick. It is literally what you are meant to try and do to keep a game flowing and gain something back for being wronged. Add to that 3 minutes stoppage time when we are regularly seeing 7 mins+ and the rs have scored after about 5 or 6 mins of stoppage time a couple of times already this season and it's case closed.

Wasting your time really. It is all against you before the game even kicks off and just as if Webb would ever admit there is a problem. Only priority is to defend his staff and the status quo. Just glad we don't play them again till next year.

It's common in European games. My issue with it today is that they were allowed to take quick free kicks without the ref's whistle.
I understand the ref saying he's not ready but if that's the case simply make us retake - yellow cards for that don't benefit the game at all.

Yeah it exposed his mindset. Punish Everton and favour the rs at any opportunity.

That decision just reeked of, "come on lads, you've read the script, this ends in 2-1 to them, I'm doing my bloody best here, don't interfere with the plan."

Just read a piece on BBC sports why the ref booked KDH apparently when a player is down on the ground injured
JACK then taking a quick free kick is deemed unsportsmanlike and therefore a booking ????????

But Liverpool weren't ready, Imagine we scored when they weren't set up for a free and couldn't defend it properly, justified yellow really could have been a red Very lucky to have stayed on the pitch in my opinion.

All just about protecting the product. It’s got so much worse in recent years, every game feels fixed and controlled now. Michael Oliver booked Josh King in the Fulham game for diving in an incident that had more contact than the one he sent the Burnley player off for against the RS.

The officials will leave nothing to chance now.

 

[Thomasc]

The 3 minutes yesterday highlighted just how corrupt PGMOL are towards Liverpool and while we are at it Man Utd.

There’s no point in even debating it any more. The league officials have shown themselves up again to favour big reds but nothing will ever be done about it.
