You can understand the frustration but shouldn't the anger and criticism be directed at the Forest players and coach for not taking their chances or changing things up. The 'monumental' error of not clearing their lines is what allowed our goal to be scored. Something that happened several plays before, didn't directly contribute to the goal. There was a lot of very fast play in those intervening 2 minutes. They may have a point had Kelleher assisted the goal.
It's easier to put something down to a perceived injustice rather than examine one's own shortcomings.
I have not bother to look back at the full 2mins from kellehers foot forward. forest have 2 chanced to get set so it's not the same phase of play. it might as well be 10minutes or 50mins as 2. it's then getting conflated with var failing to correct the lineman who flagged diaz off against spurs. there's a world of difference between dropping a ball and awarding a goal. but whatever. that was a horrid var error but if there was no var we would have to swallow the lines call anyway. it was frustrating. klopp made an error saying a replay would be fair and we discussed that here at the time. this is a ref dropping the ball to a keeper 2mins before a goal happens rather than dropping a ball to forest
I said previously that Forest are frustrated, and I get that - but nobody else should be playing their silly game with them. Tierney's error was not a direct cause of their conceding, and they shouldn't get away with suggesting it was. The only similarity with the Diaz debacle is that they both happened in football matches.
Personally I think the game should be replayed but Forest should have a 10 goal headstart and be allowed to field 25 players instead of the usually 11 including three goalkeepers. It's the only fair thing to do. If we win the title now there will always be an asterisk next to the title saying we didn't give Forest a ten goal headstart.
more articles about it = more clicks = more advertising money. Until there’s another game on to take focus away it’s the big story to get headlines. Especially as it involved lfc so more fans likely to click on it
ive just got outraged that forest didn't beat city for us and want them to replay that game until forest draw it or injured rodri foden and haaland do I have a case?
Absolutely. Although perhaps Premier League should just grant Forest the title this season as an apology for daring to make one single.minor mistake in one of their games.
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...tenburg-nottingham-forest-dropped-ball-furore I figured this out. Howard Webb is trapped in a permanent 6th circle of he'll called pgmol. this is where the bribable are consigned to an eternity of misery having to listen to endless droning of managers and "referee experts"
This things happen, I can vividly remember when the referee failed to give Everton a penalty against City at Goodison Park
3. I mean not even the most unreasonable dickhead could claim forest would have won the game if they got a drop ball.
Thing is he will probably be back refereeing the following week,its a bullshit system. Again,doing something but actually doing nothing.
He can do just as much damage on VAR from the comfort of a chair. I'd say that's no punishment at all ..... for him.
The thing is, everyone makes mistakes. If you ban every referee who ever made a minor mistake, like this one, you'd quickly run out of referees. All I ask is, they strive to be consistent, strive to be as unbiased as possible and don't cover things up.
Imagine if they banned every referee who gave incorrect goal kicks/corners/throw-ins. This is literally at that level. Only Jermaine Jenas and Alan Shearer don't turn MoTD into the same level of a ****ing state inquest into a train crash with multiple thousands of deaths every time a wrongly awarded throw-in results in a goal 2 minutes later. Well unless it affects Nottingham or Newcastle, I suppose.
