He got booked for throwing the ball away. My question is why the “corrupt” ref didn’t send him off for the pull back ? 

 

The throwing the ball call is not subjective, in the same way waving at an imaginary card is supposed to be -- the arm across a player is.

[Elite]

What we are seeing is systematic bias against us. Every club gets the odd bad decision but this shit is every week. Two players sent off after 30 minutes in back to back games for at worst, yellow card offences.

Of course corruption exists its human nature.

 

Are you telling me that nothing goes on? Nothing? This is elite sport with big players and big owners and a weasel like FA in charge. It’s always been corrupt. I mean Mike Dean basically admitted it this week.

Not only is it naive, but it’s incredibly xenophobic to deny it exists at the highest level in this country. You’d have to believe that Italians are a uniquely corrupt people.

Used to like Shay Given but the cunt can get fucked now. Gobshite toeing the Saudi line.

He's a Abu Dhabi shill when watching them too. I've never heard him go against a decision for City or Newcastle, ever. It's ridiculous

No. We aren't particularly effective or even exciting, nowadays.

Is right, sadly.

 

We had such an identity at our best under Klopp - such an intensity, and played with the confidence that both combined would nearly always be enough, complemented by players who knew their jobs inside out and were very good at them.

 

It has all disappeared and we are scratching around trying to find our way again, arguably overthinking doing so and suffering as a result.

 

We are a team who is and had been for a while lost.

All this hysteria about corruption is missing the point. Trent us lucky to still be on the pitch then he gives away a Sunday league goal then Van Dyke fouls the last man. If the ref was corrupt he would have sent Trent off. There’s no evidence of anything other than we’re playing badly. 

How to say «I don’t understand football» without saying it.

If you read my post I reckon you may find the answer to your questions is ‘No’.

It's pure corruption, and its been like this for years. We would have at least two more titles if refereeing was fair. 

[Jairzinho]

Can we sub Trent before he's sent off please. 

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Again another blatant yellow for newcastle, nothing given. its a fucking jOKE

I’ll be a lot less pissed off if other similar tackles receive the same punishment. 
 

But they won’t. 

What Jennings said. VVD tackle will never be a red again,  nor will TAA discent or time wasting, never was Masch disrespect etc etc etc. They fucking hate us uppity bastards. 

[bossy]

Joe Fuvking Linton still not booked. Fuck off

[Anubis]

Well defended Joe.

[Heinze]

That cunt ever going to get booked?

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Joelinton with his 174th foul in this game. On 1000 he’ll be talked to again by the ref.

[Elite]

This is beyond ridiculous now.

He’s literally just said that. 

[FrenchEyeGlass]

We have somehow signed a DM who is slower than Fabinho

Tonali scraping his studs down the back of Cody’s calf.

Is this for real?

So its a yellow if the arm is almost across the face now? Jesus fuckin christ

It’s potentially a yellow because it’s a cynical foul where the player is running into open space in our half.  He hasn’t gone for the ball he’s just pushed him over/put his arm across to stop him from running as quickly.  We were lucky.  Take your tinted specs off.

 

He gets fouled himself and is pissed off but I’ve got no doubt Klopp and the coaching staff have drilled the players relentlessly about kicking/throwing the ball away.  Yet here he is, the vice captain, doing it minutes in when he knows he absolutely shit at defending and could get exposed.  He’s the most braindead player we’ve ever had and it’s fucking comical that he’s been given that level of responsibility.  In a way his sheer level of stupidity helped us there because had it been 10 more minutes or so later and he done that I reckon the ref would have sent him.

[Elite]

Joelinton will definitely be getting booked in the 89th minute after his 50th foul.

Something something, we might sign someone if he does, though.

It wasn't in the penalty box.

They got a yellow. Knock me down with a feather. The saudis got a yellow
