The co-commentator saying that Stewart initiated the contact. He couldn't avoid contact. -

Why when you have a corner would you not cross it into the penalty area? -
After all, they did nothing for us.

Thanks for giving an answer. I'm not looking to cause a slanging match but as a, retired member of the refereeing fraternity I am interested in what people expect of their officials. When you say "seemingly missed" I think you have nailed the point. There are a number of reasons why a foul may not be given including that it wasn't considered foul or the desire to keep the game flowing by allowing advantage. A foul does not of itself warrant a yellow card and there are several criteria that should be met before one is issued. Persistent misconduct is one of them and some teams will deliberately spread their offences amongst several players. The criterion used to be "at least three" and you will sometimes see players who get cautioned holding up one finger signifying that it is their first offence. Are you sure that Azaz and Fellows were actually fouled and just not strong enough?

In what way was he awful? In any objective view he was doing his job well.

Or you could just resign yourself to the fact that these refs are neutral and unbiased. Throw away your red and white striped glasses.

It's only a game...

Stop the count!

Meh. Could be any of 'em.

That and the ball pushed into a crowded goal area.

I thought we started with a back four but ended up with a back five. I believe that this contributed to their winning goal. I can't remember names but Chiesa was hovering between our right back (Jelert?) And the defender inside him. Jelert moved upfield to cover the Liverpool left midfielder leaving Chiesa to be handled by his colleague to his left who unfortunately was ball watching at the time. Chiesa simply ran into open space and as able to set up the winner unopposed. With a back five nobody knows their responsibilities.

The lenses appear to be just plain glass (plastic) with no refractive properties. Perhaps they are there to protect his eyes from all the shit that's coming his way.

It's not up to him. As far as corruption is concerned he is up against FIFA on this one.

Then so be it. We all have to make sacrifices. Well I don't because I don't eat chicken tikka rotis. Although I might consider them if I knew where to get them 😳 -

Perhaps you should pay more attention to maintenance on car A? -
They also need basic footballing skills such as controlling the ball when receiving it. Even just running around a lot would help.
