exactly. small minded and small clubs don't have the balls or power and have to and do take the apology and whinge. then they whataboutery all over us doing something about it and whinge that nothing ever happens for them but oh look at the big club do they think they are special? we need to make sure any ref who doesn't give pens against man utd are struck off
Chris Sutton on 5Live is another Uncle Tom. He was wittering on about witchhunts on Sunday night, now he's come out full forelock-tugging and said we must move on and let it go. And check out Jacqui Oatley's X account too - it looks like we know who the BBC are throwing their cap at. Astonishing that as each and every but of more information is coming out, the usual suspects are rushing to Webb's defence, and using England as his human shield.
Oh yeah spot on i am trying not to go down the conspiracy route but as I think Saint said it is getting really hard to ignore it Ftr I have not got a clue what the correct action is apologies are great but can only go so far on them that said not a clue what to do anyway when is the next game then we can start chatting about that one lol
The Telegraph said that last night, then we read that senior figures in the PGMOL (Webb) were against it. They're probably in Abbey Rd putting the finishing touches to the recordings as we speak.
Webb as the Richard Nixon of the PGMOL. Yeah, joking aside, there's no secret agenda against us (though the FA have never hid their animosity towards us since 1989), but this stank of lies and a cover-up the moment they released an image with no lines on it - I have NEVER known that, except (as in Wolves against us, and Saka against us last season) they have no camera angle to draw them and have to go on the on-field decision. Had they said that I would have accepted it (albeit fuming at their ****ing incompetence again - that just shouldn't happen anymore at Prem grounds), but the fact it festered on all game, then they said they'd make an announcement, and then that announcement took an hour (why, if they knew at halftime?), then you knew something was up. And when the statement came out it said NOTHING except a ****-up was made. No ****ing apology at all, despite what Ratboy Neville and Bumpkin Sutton are weasely claiming.
please log in to view this image (Someone put this on the Prem Board for the vermin there, please. Ta).
Made public as soon as the consultant audio engineers that Liverpool have brought in have inspected them, I trust.
I don't know which bit of my post-match bluster you're referring to but I've said that I'm loath to go down the corruption route without hard evidence. I did say that although I'm not one for conspiracy theories some things do make me wonder. I still think that unless something significant is dredged up then the most likely scenario to me is them not paying enough attention to the job they're paid to do. That in itself is culpable negligence and unacceptable under the circumstances.
An awful lot of this would have been avoided if the audio was broadcast at the time as it is in rugby union.
I've also said that I don't believe for a moment there's an institutionalised campaign against us, but I imagine there are a few officials who have it in for Klopp because he's always on their case. I love Klopp and everything he does for the club, but really, being 4th official at one of our games must be a ****ing nightmare. If I was the ref he'd be sitting in the stands after 5 minutes every time.
Yes and no. I had huge sympathy for Chelsea over that ridiculous hair pull by Romero on Cucurella not being called as a foul - we now know on purpose - but that's because I have no beef with Tuchel. But if they were managed by Mourinho then yes I'd be laughing.
Yes, but they won't do that while footballers shout abuse at the ref because it'll be picked up and the telly won't like it. They already have to apologise if their mics pick up anything sweary from the crowd or the dugouts. Rugby players are angelic in comparison. If they actually enforce the rules about players approaching the ref then we might start to get somewhere.
