Referee was right to award Liverpool penalty https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-penalty-bournemouth-darren-england-34597994
I love the latest narrative that refs couldn't have seen what they saw. I found it interesting Oliver could see skelly's cynical rake of Doherty when I could see it from 3 angles and it's then just a debate on red or yellow but Oliver got removed from the next arsenal gsme as a result. Then people start worrying he is on the Everton game for us despite him actually seeing the foul. Then the ref v Bournemouth is abused for seeing contact because the pundits know the crowd were irate so he is an easy target for clicks. How could he see the clip. Well on commentary the pundit went oh no that so stupid on the stream that I saw. They saw it but I couldn't really tell and though it would be over turned. The fact is Bournemouth were playing the gsme all over the park with silly fouls amd the ref was having none of either side dropping but the Bournemouth fans seems to be thinking they were entitled to every free when a plauer flopped.
Crowd were fuming because Iraola wouldn’t stop moaning and throwing his hands around all game, I genuinely couldn’t see anything throughout the match that would warrant his 90 minute paddy
It was fairly classical type of fare that makes English people racist towards certain countries. Certain countries go in for this sort of fouling and then whinging as a matter of course it seems and when the managers come here they go for what got them the job. Snide fouls, kicking ball away, constant falling over. Nearly none of it was given the punishments it is meant to. There was one after i'd say only a few minutes where their midfielder gave a cheap foul and was outraged he got called for it so he kicked the ball away in the middle of the park and absued the ref and got away scot free. They never stopped pulling and dragging and the ref expected for some reason players to be strong enough to take it so didn't give either side anything but they lost the nut when they were not awarded the same free that would have lost the nut if we were awarded it. Gakpo went over several times and got nothing but the second he actually made a tackle which actually won the ball they were screaming and booing they didn't get given it. Basically that crowd have all been brainwashed in a very short time.
Yeah, but what I mean is - what reason was put forward by the FA to overturn it. So I looked it up, and here it is, from Sky: "In the published written reasons for the successful appeal, the panel said Lewis-Skelly 'had stepped across his opponent and tripped him up, possibly deliberately, but in doing so he had obviously not endangered the safety of his opponent or used excessive force or brutality, nor had he lunged in at his opponent'". What a load of bollocks.
It's pathetic, isn't it? I understand that mistakes get made on the pitch, in the heat of the moment - but to do an in-depth analysis and come up with this beggars belief, imo. Clearly they had a conclusion they wanted to reach, and tried to force the facts to fit.
