Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Exactly, it's an absolute farce.

Notice those small decisions never ever even themselves out, even though that's what every kopite tells you happens.

They've had them for decades tbh, but it's so blatant.

Sick of it mate but you just have to accept it as a fan as its blatant isn't it but nothing will ever get done

Nailed on pen as well for Newcastle turned down.

Week in week out they get these so called "small" decisions in their favour.

Mike "I'm impartial as I'm a Tranmere fan" Dean reffing a rs game at Anfield lol

Really! Haven't seen it yet. Wonder if it's shown on MOTD. You couldn't make it up could you, oh wait.

I'm same as you mate, it will never change while the TV dollars and the "fans of the future" dictate it - it's as bad as WWE.

Oliver was gutted we got a point.

 

[duncs pigeon]

Fabinho, VVD and Jones all tested positive and have been double jabbed.

Pickfords fault? Always the victim ?‍

 

[Zezti]

Take a shot every time a football pundit says the word 'desire'

 

[Bob Latchford]

Some bad beatings for the womens teams in European competitions this week. Seems the media have hyped them as they do with everything. The leading continental teams seem to be some distance ahead.

Not just them. Both Liverpool and the rags have always had help from referees. Along with the preferential media coverage, it means they will keep getting away with it because no one will call it out.

The Womens Chelsea boss seems to be blaming Covid for her team getting battered and knocked out of the Champions League, while also making it sound like she took players who have the virus or may have the virus to Germany

Tottenham v RS surely has to be postponed.

Spurs had 9 players out and RS have 3, if Leicester have had their game against us postponed then surely this has to also.

The weekend football is in serious need of a rest.

The logical thing is surely to have this weekend off, rather than the one after. Especially with like 5 or 6 matches already off? Send the players home for a few days, tell them to be sensible, get them tested, clean training grounds, and bring them back on Wednesday or Thursday to train for Boxing day.

We can't have a long term shut down because they will continuously find cases if they test footballers every day, even without symptoms. If this thing is so infectious but not severe, then we need to decide whether we actually test healthy, and symptom - free players, vaccinated ones anyway. Nothing would be better if we waited to have a break in 2 weeks time, but a weekend off at least lets teams get their players back and come up with new protocols going forward.

It would also help if footballers would get the vaccine, but I do believe in freedom of choice. I just wish they would all make the decision that I agree with lol

Something that many of them are not, and no doubt would do something that they shouldnt, or go somewhere when they are not suppose to, and hope they wont be caught out

Have this weekend off but then get back to it, cba with them postponing again

There is no real moral argument for a suspension or long term break either, while shop workers, factory workers, medical staff, and hundreds of other low paid industries have to keep working. We need to find ways to keep normality going.

The only argument in favour of a short break this weekend is to let the clubs get their players healthy and then put new protocols in place going forward That way we don't have unfair matches where a team fields a second string or a bunch of kids, or a bench with like 3 players. There is no such thing as zero risk for any of us unfortunately, but I think it's fair to say footballers are not in a high risk bracket.

We also will need to look at the testing regime. Should we really be testing regularly, double vaccinated, younger people, who have no symptoms, and feel fine? Or should it be spot checks for clubs?

Criminal mate, as bent as you like, it's not even under the radar now, more blatant than ever.

He ran across the keepers eyeline for their third as well - not sayin the goalie would have got any where near it like, but it was just a mad place to run for a ref, right into the action.

You know a good ref when you dont even notice them on the pitch - can never say that about red Mike.

Oliver was terrible tonight as well, so quick to give Chelsea everything.

Just seen the penalty shout. OMG it just shows how the commentators and pundits are up their backsides. Even Osman said it wasn't a pen. But Warnock said it was. It's a stonewall pen. How did VAR not give it.
