Crazy wasn’t it. Apparently enough time passes for it not to be relevant, despite the fact was about 5 seconds before the goal and no one else touched it between that abs bale scoring.
Even funnier when compare to the one we got ruled out when firmino was pushed in the back and it hit his arm on half way line then 20 seconds later we scored abs it got ruled out.
Well the rule was changed wasn't it?
Its specifically designed such that it has to be the goalscorer who handled it now.
That was never going to happen.
The red might have been harsh but that Chelsea player knew what he was doing by flinging his arm out like that. It may not have been of mike Tyson’s proportions but it seemed deliberate and made contact with Grealish’s face. Once VAR checked it, there was only one outcome.
no but it should, I never said let azpi off I said put grealish off for gross exaggeration too.
He did flick out and arm having pushed over another player in frustration but grealish is a diving cheat. If refs stopped blowing up for him falling over he wouldn't be worth 10mil.
IMO its long long overdue to create a punishment for diving. IMO the sin bin is the ideal punishment as a card is nothing to these guys who don't make challenges anyway.
So BT have said that teams playing in Europe on a Wednesday will be scheduled for the evening kick off on Saturday. They listened to Klopp after all.
A couple of tidbits: we had the 4th best defensive record in the league .. and.. we won the fair play league for the 5th time in a row.
One of those is amazing and one is no surprise.
One of those is amazing and one is no surprise.
So handling the ball in the box is fine as long as you're not the goalscorer?
3rd best GD, joint 3rd GF and 4th best GA.
So 3rd place seems about right.
3rd most points as well.
The amount of times I shouted kick him, take him down as our side flapped about is ridiculous.
Only milner and fabinho seem to have the idea that taking a lump out of someone is the right thing to do.
The fact that it's since Klopp arrived tells you something. He likes fairness which is why, I think, he finds it hard to accept some of the decisions and criticism that we get.
