Virgil Van Dijk

My guess is that’ll be the watershed of the respect campaign. It’ll all be over by Christmas.

And when refs don't come down hard on other players for the same offence or worse (and they won't.)

Everyone can see what a hypocritical, incompetent shower of fucking shit they are.

 

There should be bans right left and centre for what VVD has been done for.

These are two issues , one is refs not being consistent, which I am 100% with you and secondly how a player reacts to a decision on the pitch . I think the call against Virg was harsh but having been red carded it was never going to be overuled and he should have kept a lid on it. Yes you can point to other offences that were either missed or not deemed as severe but it still doesn’t make Virg innocent. The answer as always to have better , more accountable officials and 

[Mathewbet1]

Lets just say he’s been made an example of. Thats fine though, of course.  i’m sure theres been a lot worse than that recently, players and managers are routinely swearing at officials. Im not saying its right but if they want zero dissent and swearing,  they would be sending entire teams off at nearly every game. 100 k fine is unheard of.

Does the fine go to the Ref’s Benevolent Fund?

No the Alpecin shampoo fund!

Perhaps he should try not going for a blatant red card and yelling at the referees next game he is eligible to play.

[niallers]

Haha, remember when Ashley Cole abused the referee at spurs and the outcry was deafening. We played the mancs away in the next game and mascherano got sent off, the only cunt to fall under their new zero tolerance policy that season. Virgil should've known but they've fucked us, and made up for us making them look incompetent after the macallister red was rescinded.

Yes he should have just let him score.

[Jennings]

There'll be a worse case of dissent on the next game day that doesn't get treated the same.

[Creator Supreme]

I'm all for being professional, but sometimes you just lose your temper, he's human after all.

 

Fuck the PGMOL!

[Dicko]

VVD's disciplinary record is excellent an extra game ban and a £100k fine is ridiculous.

The red card was a decent investment but yelling at refs when playing for Liverpool is beyond stupid.

Why?

Is it greater offence to do it as a Liverpool player than a Tottenham one for example.

[Torvald Utne]

Oh no, he shouted abuse!

 

So fucking what? Respect is earned

 

I call random strangers bellends and such on a daily basis commuting in London, do stupid shit get called names are words I live by

[Dicko]

A bit of perspective, Ivan Toney was fined £50k and that cunt hasn't shown any remorse.

So shouting at a referee is twice as bad as illegal gambling.

 

But they're not corrupt.

What he said was mild, in fairness, and his demeanour was hardly threatening. It also came in a game when Newcastle players had licence to pretty much do as they pleased, particularly Joelinton. 

[Torvald Utne]

LFC must have some shit lawyers, they could probably pick out 20 incidents at least since the start of the season when players have shouted abuse at the officials and not been fined and banned.

[Section_31]

We've always been the low hanging fruit when it comes to any kind of blame game. Like the shit Suarez got for diving, like he personally invented it, and we somehow managed to shoulder most of the blame for the European superleague debacle thanks to Gary Neville declaring us the "people's club". 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

One game ban and 100k ban for doing what Bruno Fernandez does 8 times every match without punishment.

 

Refs of the PL, the unintentional clowns.

 

 

[3 Stacks]

He's put out a good statement. Hopefully the first step in not repeating this kind of outburst, and also, maybe he can be a bit less lackadaisical and shit when he comes back.

[Dicko]

VVD should just twat the first ref he sees.

The FA basically saying that it’s ok for a linesman to throw an elbow in a player’s face, but woe betide any player who uses a naughty word to an official. 

If it was the other way around Robbo would have the book thrown at him that's for sure.

Worth it to tell those corrupt shits a few home truths, I reckon.

We could I'm sure assemble a video case of similar incidents unpunished. I was expecting him to be punished harsher tbh as an example so maybe one to just take on the chin. Good chance for Joe Gomez to continue his form and put some pressure on virg to perform to the level he's still very capable of.
