Taylor lets foul after foul go City v Arsenal.

Bradley booked 6 mins in.

Yeah good one.

Then no card for Garnacho for a stamp on Darwin, Easter Island Head throws Mo to the ground, Diaz gets flattened, no free kick

Casemiro's straight leg, studs first, both legs off the ground, no ball, Diaz's ankle = yellow card.

Make it make sense.

Wouldn't have made a difference, but if Taylor had given a red VAR wouldn't have overturned it.

Clattenburg will be getting his Parker pen out again and writing to Howard after that non decision with the Maddison punch.

He might actually have a case this time.

The VAR official told the ref that “there was no evidence of violent conduct”.  Other that the several tv cameras that caught Maddison punching the lad in the stomach.  The stuff they come out with is incredible.

Let's face it, VAR is a total and utter failure. All it's done is take any sort of excitement out of scoring a goal.

It's actually a very good forum, whilst I'm not a member and don't post I find the debate there rather decent.
Blue moon on the other hand is bordering on insane.
My son complains when I watch Fox news, I tell him to be informed you need to listen to both sides regardless of whether you agree with them or not, their opinion is generally legitimate.
Rawk is akin to Facebook et al, you are fed biased opinions which then feed your bias, unless you broaden your search and get the other sides perspective you will continue to live in a bubble which while probably ok in Sport (this however is exactly the type of behavior that feeds hate chants etc) politically it can be dangerous, and we live I believe in dangerous times

I actually don't think Taylor was terrible yesterday. Did a fairly decent job overall. Some tackles and bookings questionable, but nothing that's going to swing the game.

I reckon a few on here would have been outraged had the pen been the other way, Elliot's foot gets clipped but not by the defenders initial tackle so it looks a little like a dive, it was his trailing leg that got clipped and caused the foul. Seen it's causing some upset in other areas of the internet.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

Any theories about why Wolverhampton Wanderers seem to be punished by VAR this season? There've been loads of absurd decisions given against them.

I know one poster believes that PGMOL is punishing the Wolves manager for complaining about referees - but that's a sort of chicken and egg question. (Did O'Neil complain about refs and therefore provoke PGMOL to instruct VARs to punish them, or did VAR punish Wolves and inspire O'Neil to complain?) Could it even be prejudice against people from Staffordshire (is that whereWolverhampton is?)? Or perhaps there are lots of WBA supporters in PGMOL? It's mystifying, that's for sure.

Early doors it was that disgraceful decision not to give a penno when the Man U keeper flattened the lad.

PGMOL got stick over that and have fucked Wolves every since. Vindictive inbred c*nts.

Seriously don’t get that. Off the top of my head, salah getting mauled ignored, bruno telling him to fuck off ignored, giving free kicks every time they fell over, not booking their players for either simulation or dangerous play, constant manhandling of our players at set pieces ignored, not sending casemiro off, time wasting.  In fact i had a bet with the missus he’d boom their keeper on 80mins. Was 79. He’s fucking shite.

On a side note, was there ever a replay of casemiro appearing to handball prior to our pen? Blew a gasket at that point so had to go and cool off for a sec.

There's a clip I've been sent (by and Arsenal fan) that they are saying shows Harvey dived for the pen.  Are my eyes deceiving me?  Wan Bissaka's right foot clearly makes contact with Harvey's left shin, which doesn't buckle because it's planted.  These Arsenal fans are desperate.

On the penalty decision, ten Hag added: "It was similar on Thursday but, on Thursday, it wasn't a penalty (in a 4-3 loss to Chelsea). I wanted to see if it was a penalty but it was the right decision. I can't disagree with that."

Agree with this Klopphoey, it’s a definite pen, albeit it may not have been given if Harvey didn’t fall over - so he did. It can be both a ‘dive’ and a pen, it’s not mutually exclusive and weren’t posters saying LFC players needed to go down more …

Just saw the Maddison punch. Obviously he punches like a wet lettuce and it likely didn’t hurt the defender, but it was still a punch and a blatant red card. Spurs have had some very strange decisions this season.

It isn't just this season Yorky.

They received three apologies from Webb last season. It all started when Lopetegui arrived and basically went to war regarding the piss poor levels of officiating in this Country.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wolves-fa-fines-julen-lopetegui-29645014

The PGMOL were not having that a foreign manager coming over here and demanding apologies and suggesting Webb and his boys were a bit shit. I think you are on the right lines though regarding the PGMOL not liking something about Woverhampton. You yourself have suggested that English players are treated very differently. Well imagine what their reaction would be to basically a Portuguese club playing in the Premier League. It must really infuriate all the gammons at the PGMOL that Jorge Mendes is basically using Wolves to park his players.

Otherwise its

I remember them being dealt a rotten hand by VAR at Anfield in the FA Cup. I think their winner was chalked off because the cameras failed to pick up the key player (a tough one for the conspiracy theorists to explain away*). But I didn't realise that they'd suffered more than that.

*Though presumably not the Wolves' ones, who probably dined out on that cock-up for a long time.

Penalty for us.
Wolves "goal" being disallowed was correct decision.
Lamptey challenge was a penalty.
Maddison - VAR decided no "violent conduct".

Other talking points over weekend discussed also.

Is a punch not violent conduct? Maybe they thought he was just tickling him.

The fella covering for the usual fella was having none of it was he? Tells it as it is, he swivelled and punched him in the gut were his words. Same with that shite Dermot came up with over the Diaz goal at Spurs, fucking saying people were banging on and on about it, fuck off prick.

Dermots a fucking liar too - he keeps saying the Protocols mean the ref cannot be sent to the screen by himself and blames IFAB for this. This is from the fucking IFAB website :-

The referee can initiate a ‘review’ for a potential ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘serious missed incident’ when:

the VAR (or another match official) recommends a ‘review’

the referee suspects that something serious has been ‘missed’

Yates is sat on the floor yelling he's been punched and saying look at the screen. Hooper (the Spurs fan???) could, under the rules, ask to review the footage, as he, from the players reaction, may think that he might have missed something

Why do you keep quoting rules, Rob, as if they matter? The acting rules are made on the fly...
