I see Lanzini has been charged by the fa for diving (West Ham player)
and Tarkowski been charged for viollent conduct (Burnley player)

nothing for Deli Ali or Harry Kane over the weekend or for Wyne Rooney from last Wednesday

I guess the only argument there is that all three others were "seen" by the referee whereas Tarkowski was sly as **** in the way he did it and therefore got away with it.

But if you had all 4 challenges lined up one after another you'd say Tarkowski was the least dangerous out of all of them. Should be retrospective action if the Ref fails to identify the severity of a challenge.

Retrospective action IS available if the ref fails to identify the severity of the offence
Troy Deeney got a 3.match ban issued by the FA dispite the ref already giving him a yellow card
 
I complain from time to time but also acknowledge that we get decisions for us and the opposition get decisions go against them. Your claim seems to be that refs target us or have a bias against us which is utter tripe. This entire thread is a joke with you deciding the running total on the balance of decisions and that that is supposedly proof of said bias.



whey do not comment on it then .. that is the best way
Some people on here like it ...that is what forums are for
Also when was the last decision we got by the way ... ( point of this thread )

normally gets backed up off rafa so can not be that bad

Don't know how Rooney wasn't charged then and Alli's stamp is a red card all day. Needs to be looked at but won't be. Someone else said it - Golden boys

Hence the reason why Leez has posted this thread to show the lack of consistancy within the
Laws of Association Football - although working from the same Laws there seems to be one law for them one law for others
we almost certainly have a bias towards us as this is the team we follow and watch most
yet we compare the decissions made for and against us with the decissions made against others

Just seen Deeney has been banned for 4 games after his latest red card. Very reminiscent of Harry Kane on Lejuene on the opening day... [HASHTAG]#justsaying[/HASHTAG]
Deeney had already been sent off this season ( the incident I referred to above)
so automatically he gets an extra game ban for the pleasure

I see Everton have had 4 penalties in their last 4 games (didn't get one against us though so technically 4 pens in 3 games)
how about giving the ref a 2 match ban for giving a penalty when it was outside the box as it was last night for Everton

If that is the Gayle one then I think he is to blame for that after his dive against Man City. Little twat has now got himself a reputation. Yes it shouldn't work like but it does.
He's been diving like that since at least when he joined the club. All over the pitch he's at it. Other than that, another tremendous signing by Rafa. What a bloke he is.

<laugh>

It is annoying. I dislike diving. I dislike it even more when we have a quality chance of grabbing a late equaliser. Senseless.
 
anyone else watching the game tonight
Liverpool v Everton

disgraceful ref Bobby Madley has lost the plot
Rooney should of been booked twice, dodgy pen, and a potential red card for pushing a player into the crowd (not even a yellow <yikes> )
Big Sam mouths off '****er' to the ref in full view of the camera

and on 47 mins ref bottles booking Rooney after another bad challenge

the amount of fouls that Madley has let go unpunished is unbelievable
we would have been playing with 7 men had we committed some of these fouls

to be fair I thought that Graham Scott has been the best ref we have had this season
he didn't fall for the constant diving of the Swansea players, and booked players for kicking the ball away
although he did allow players to walk way beyond the set place for throw ins

I haven't seen the incident involving Diame 1. haven't seen match of the day and 2, it was at the opposite end to where I sit
but there has to be intent and I don't think Diame has a football brain to deliberately put hand to ball for there to be 'intent' <laugh>
