15 min This, if true, is quite amusing: apparently Sadio Mane started clutching the wrong ankle after earning Liverpool’s matchwinning penalty against Leicester.

The difference is that was before VAR and also they didn't get 2 goals in a week with a keep dropping the ball. You just know they're going to win now, I don't even have any hope that the other side with get anything.

That was a penalty though. Once the ref had given it they were never going to reverse it. In the World Cup even if the ref hadn't given it VAR would. The problem is the rules, where any contact is a foul, encouraging players to exaggerate and referees to give way more fouls than when I started watching.

That's exactly what people said about Man Utd at the time. It wasn't true then and it isn't true now.

It is bollocks. United created chance after chance in the last minutes of the game. They didn't have a technology run by unaccountable people to give them a goal.

You're actually saying that was a pen, btw?

FFS. Give it a 'kin rest.

Don't worry lads, VAR will stop them!!!!

You do realise Liverpool won’t get too 4 this season with VAR, after all most of there goals last season where offside or dives by Salah

Yes it was a pen.We got one the same at Goodison last season. Coleman nicked the ball and the guy kicked his leg.

So your saying Allbrighton didn't kick his leg?

davek · October 5, 2019

The way the commentariat now normalises these incidents is horrendous. If City had won a pen like that last minute there would be now a feverish debate across all platforms regarding all their other results in an effort to get Liverpool a leg up with decisions too. But when it's them it's not an issue.

FFS, these are the people who reported last season's City title win as Liverool's "victorious" season.

30 years without a title win; they need the authorities to step in and weaponise the technology to hand them one, otherwise theyd be here anothe 30 'kin years waiting for one.

That is the top and bottom of it.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It was no foul...Mane threw himself to the ground and conned the ref (not that the corrupt get needed much conning).

Come on, will yer: it's the final minute and that lot are in the box...are you telling me you dont expect them to throw themselves down and con an official?

But it is true. There's something not right about the super fitness and dodgy decision s going their way

About a week or two ago a penalty was given against them in the champions league Napoli match which everyone enjoyed because it was a clear dive and VAR did nothing. Players all over the world do their utmost to con officials and get the win for their team. There’s no conspiracy.

He kicked his leg.Not hard enough to justify him going to ground but he definitely kicked his leg

You're embarrassing yourself. He clearly kicks his leg. Mane goes down when he doesn't need to, but the contact was there. VAR was never going to overturn it and it wouldn't have for any team.
