100% this. He seems lovrens hand on him and lovren collide into him. Understand why its given but not a pen
Why the **** would I lie. I texted him after it happened and he was pissing himself laughing saying he'd 'had us over'.
But despite the various opinions on offer, one thing remains a fact; Lovren stands him up without touching, there is no penalty
Its really bloody simple. man up LFC fans. The ref's call is final. we can bleat all we like but just look stupid. It looked a pen, ref gave a pen, slow motion didn't make it look any less a pen. Its a contest. one guy can play fair and get walked all over or he can fight his corner. Lovren didn't do that. it wasn't two lads pushing each other (AND BTW WHAT ABOUT SALAH PUSHING MARTINA???) it was one guy slowing up and getting body between ball and man as he should and the other clown barrelling in and pushing him with a clear hand in the back that made the ref's job very easy. I find it funny no LFC fan is sighing with relief that salah got away with one... get if we had won 1-0 every everton fan would likely be pointing it out. yet here we seem to be listening to a few whining on 3 days later. who gives a ****.
No, I'm consistent - I said pen as there was contact and he took his leg. The funniest part was Pardew fuming afterwards until he too saw the contact on a replay - then he said the ref had no right to give a penalty against the home team in the second minute of injury time. Good of you to admit that your decisions are coloured by your bias though.
Absolutely. If an international CB can't usher a forward towards the corner flag without sticking his hand in the small back, we need to get another one. Finally.
If you go by the rules then it is a pen no doubt, yes he was looking for it but that's how football works. if any of our players does it I wouldn't whine about it, how many times have we seen players being fouled in the penalty area the Ref let play and then he misses the chance. My first reaction . he should have gone down and got the penalty, **** honesty.
Wouldn't get rid. But shouldn't be starters, squad players that's it. Ie use them for rotating and keeping our first team fresh. Don't like it can **** off. Hardly going to be a big queue for them is there lol.
I'm looking forward to the next time Lovren is in this situation. Doesn't get tight to his man and does a bit of a Riverdance thing so his hands aren't in the way and then gets done, then the same people will be giving him stick for that. Let's face it, he'll get it in the neck whatever he does anyway. Might as well just shoot him now.
I would rather win every game we play. But the mess we are in needs the kind of root and branch approach Sam gives. Shake things up and shift the deadwood out.
