My lad just showed me this from RAWK, this is how grasping they are getting now:
Decisions this game (For/against) - nothing to do with how well/poorly Liverpool are playing - just wondering just how [Poor language removed] Friend is.
[=] Correct decision (Neither for/against Liverpool or Fulham)
[-] Incorrect decision (against Liverpool)
- Incorrect decision (for Liverpool)
Number shows comparison between for/against
FIRST HALF
00:07 Blatent foul on our Williams. Utterly ignored by the ‘referee’. Liverpool players go mad. [-1] [-1]
01:17 Afters on Jota. Totally ignored by the ‘referee’ [-1] [-2]
01:58 Salah blocked off in the area - arm across his throat. Probably a penalty. Of course this is ignored by the ‘referee’ and VAR takes no action [-1] [-3]

58:33 Gini shoves the Fulham player over. Referee played advantage so saw the foul. [=] [-14]

Liverpool were poor again, but Friend showed a clear bias against Liverpool for the whole game. He wasn’t quite as bad in the second half.
Friends decisions didn’t lead to Liverpool losing the game, but that’s not why I recorded this. It was to see if I was imagining how bad the referees are.
Referee rating: Twonk Grade IV
