No first Ali get's a push , then an elbow in the face and VAR say's that okay. Then you have a knee high challange on Jordan that could have ended his match and it's not even a yellow.

Also what a prick Carragher is.

Only justification I’ve seen for that not being a red is that he didn’t mean it, because he slipped/bounced off the ball. That means fuck all, it’s still a red. Clearly not in control if he’s bouncing off the ball.

VAR didn't do anything because Dawson didn't react to it.

Protecting their inept refs.

Dawson is the worst ref in the game.

You are right it's a season ender that. I wonder if that was the intention as it seems to be open season on our players the last few years.

BBC ticker:

Have some of that.

West Ham full-back Aaron Cresswell with a thunderous challenge on Jordan Henderson, taking ball and man.

The Liverpool skipper hits the turf and hasn't moved.

Cresswell may be in trouble here...


Thought VAR might have a look at that for a red card as Aaron Cresswell caught Jordan Henderson the knee with the follow-up.

But Cresswell escapes any sanctions and Hendo is back on his feet.

Not a foul.
As Roy Keane said about united’s defence ‘ I give up’.

Firstly it was a clear foul on Alisson for their goal.
That tackle on Hendo tho, there is no single reason for it not to be a red card. I give up.

Jack Wilshere, who is barely able to put a sentence together, thinks it wasn’t a red because it was the first 10 minutes of the game and Cresswell is a ‘strong player’.

I just can’t be arsed.

Clear and obvious errors, none over-turned, and no doubt no explanation why.

Just awful incompetence from the ‘best league in the world’. 

It’s already a struggle to play against 11 plus the on-pitch ref, to have to then contend with a 2nd one just turns it into pure unwatchable nonsense.

I honestly can't believe any of this is even being discussed.

If you aren't aware how biased/bent/shite English referees are by now then I have no idea what you've been watching for the last several decades.

Regarding the Cresswell challenge. Pawson saw it, of course he saw it, he didn’t give a free kick because he knew if he did he’d have to send him off. There was no way he was making what he thought would be a match defining decision after 8 minutes.  Arguably he made one after two, but to him Liverpool ought to be good enough to overcome an early goal, so let that stand. West Ham might not be good enough to to play for 82 minutes with 10, so there’s no way he’s giving it.

Atwell also saw it, he had to. But he made the same calculation. Too early and it might have to big an effect on the game.

The worst thing is, you see that performance, you see how dreadful it is and you say to yourself “you know, I don’t even think he’s the worst one we’ve got”.  That’s how bad the situation is in this country.

We lost because collectively we were every bit as bad as Pawson and Atwell, but that shouldn’t let them off the hook.

Fucked twice already. Great tone to this game, you can foul the keeper and have 2 footed lunging challenges and that's fine.

Shocking officiating in the first 10 minutes. Didn't expect the foul on Alisson to be overturned once he gave it, even though it was obviously a foul but the Cresswell challenge was as blatant a red as you'll see. That he didn't even give a free kick for it was just him taking the piss.
We have to change from doubter to believer. Now.

Yeah it was just a little tickle, that’s why Cresswell kept going over to check if he was ok. 

If he’d hardly touched him he would have been telling Henderson to “fucking get up yer prick”.  Cresswell’s reaction was a dead give away, he knew he’d gone in too hard.
