Rival watch

After seeing various teams getting dicked by referees not understanding the new handball rules, it's refreshing to see the Nomads get dicked over by good old fashioned bent refereeing at Anfield

 

• Martin Atkinson
• Stuart Attwell
• Peter Bankes
• David Coote
• Mike Dean
• Darren England
• Kevin Friend
• Simon Hooper
• Rob Jones
• Chris Kavanagh
• Andy Madley
• Andre Marriner
• Lee Mason
• Jon Moss
• Michael Oliver
• Craig Pawson
• Graham Scott
• Anthony Taylor
• Paul Tierney

One born in Swindon one in Oxford and the rest from the North of England

None from London or Surrey, Kent, Essex, and so on. By luck or design it is not representative of the whole of England is it.

 

Also exclusively white.

 

Don't knock it, got you 2 extra points. But yes, did look like he controlled it with his wrist. There was a second possible touch on his arm, but that was possibly too high?

 

I think it's just below the t-shirt line. Not sure why it was glossed over so rapidly, especially given this weekend's bullshit.
Perhaps that's actually why it was glossed over, thinking about it.
Still, it's Arsenal, so **** 'em!

 

Fantastic read as always chaps, keep up the good work

 

Careful, they will give John Barnes and Emile Heskey a gig as a PL referee.

 

This was what I was talking about.

 

I withdraw my earlier comment, that is handball. In what world is that not handball, but Dier's is (). A cheating, dishonest one I guess.

 

Who was doing VAR?

 

I'm guessing no one - he must have gone home early.

 

Thats a convenient angle, not one arsenal player claimed handball, tells you all you need to know really.

 

That appealing a letter of the law handball against the Poool at Anfield is a waste of breath.

 

You want an umbrella to stand in to catch all the tears?

 

It's a convenient angle because it conveniently shows that it hit his arm? What sort of argument is that?
As for nobody claiming a handball, not only is that irrelevant, it's also completely false. Number 25 (Elneny) clearly does:

He's also standing at a similar angle to the one in the picture. Conveniently.
I guess that proves that it was a handball, going by your logic.

 

I need an umbrella to deflect all the spittle from rabid Mousers
when the Poool get a harsh penalty awarded against them at Anfield.

 

It`s a waste of breath in any stadium.

 

Marriner, we can add him to the long list of Pool biased officials, if he wasn`t there already.

 

Not intentionally but it hit his wrist and under the the strict laws as they stand that should be disallowed not that the laws have ever bothered Liverpool fans or refs at Clanfield

 

Gotta love the express
