The studio could not dictate whether there was the slightest graze on the attackers heel. All agreed it should not have been a penalty but none could definitely say there was zero contact. In other words, he bought the Foul, he dived and she fell for it. Many refs have in the past, many will in the future. It makes her no better or worse than any of them. You probably thought it was a nailed on pen Then I guess?
Jamie Carragherhas used Liverpool's Super Cup success to take a dig at former Man Utd legendGary Neville. The Sky Sports co-pundits are often at loggerheads over their particular allegiances. And following the Reds penalty win overChelseain Wednesday's final, it was Carragher who had the last laugh. The victory wasLiverpool's43rd major honour in the club's history, overtakingUnited'stally of 42. Carragher shttps://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jamie-carragher-takes-dig-gary-18938011hared a post onTwitterproclaimingLiverpoolas the most successful English club ever, and tagged Neville in the message.
I agree.... but A clear and obvious error is awarding a penalty when it clearly isn't one. That's pretty clear and also extremely obvious. I'm trying to think of a clearer error than awarding a penalty when it's not a penalty. Nope, can't think of anything.
When it disallows a goal against us, I ****ing love it like crumble and custard. Take all the time you need, VAR. It's not like players didn't celebrate goals before which were wiped out for offside or a foul. It happened all the time. It's not any less disappointing because it happened a few seconds earlier. Premature ejaculation is pretty much the same for anything under three minutes, though your own experience of that may differ. My stream froze for their pen replay, so I didn't see the Adrian foul in slo-mo but it seemed it was the same as in the cricket about being clear enough to overrule the decision on the pitch by the ref. So VAR critics don't like VAR but don't like the ref's decision either? No surprise, when it was a pen decision against us. If VAR had overruled the ref, there'd have been celebrations like we'd scored. That aside, it was friendlyesque. Nobody going in particularly hard. It's a EUFA exhibition game., so doesn't need ET. What bothered me was how many of our crosses and corners were so low. What was that all about? I was waiting for Adrian to do a Grob wobble for the last pen. But memories of Istanbul '05 with it going down to the last pen.
It was immediately obvious he was going to dive from the fact that there was literally nothing he could do in that position except knock the ball out for goalkick.
Performance wise there's a few question marks that will need to be sorted, but that's Saturday's problem. Adriaaaannn!!!!
