Dear god. How do you explain Jamie Carraghar, a die hard biased Liverpudlian saying he didn’t think it was a pen? Here’s what happened, the referee in our game thought it was a pen, and a different referee, refereeing a different game, didn’t think a different incident was a pen. In both cases another referee reviewed it, and didn’t think there was an error. It’s not cheating or a conspiracy, it’s an opinion.

What do you want officials to do, refer back to the Ryan Bertrand handball and then judge subsequent ones against that. To have consistency, you have to have defending handballs ruled the same as attacking handballs, that is, hits hand it’s a handball. We had one like that earlier against Fulham , and we had more moaning and fucking groaning on social media about that. Referees have always been inconsistent as they’re different people, who see things differently. You do realise VAR stands for video assistant referee, therefore nobody is “using it”?

Even Carraghar said it would have been a harsh decision. What do people want, every time the ball hits the arm it’s a free kick, or the ref & VAR deciding if “in their opinion” it’s handball. For all your moaning, you can’t have it both ways.

What if the official thought it was offside, but VAR shows it was onside?

Makes me laugh. If we were level on points with Fulham I reckon most people would be looking at the fixtures picking out 3 or 4 wins, and a couple of draws.

In that case I need to get my jab before the ale house re opens.

Lemina handball. Cheers Mario

Yep.

Do 2 European campaigns, 4 top 8 finishes and a cup final, count. Or are they a gross misrepresentation of her ownership?

What are you on about? This year their record is. LLLWLWLWDLWL The lost to Burnley, before beating us, and then lost to West Ham. Since. Cash got injured they’ve lost to Leicester, beaten Leeds and lost to Sheffield Utd. Is this some sort of “ look how difficult injuries are, so lay off Ralph” line?

Why, because we face one of the worst teams in Premier league history after they actually won a game, with 10 men, 2 days after we last played. Fuck me, we’re soooo unlucky...

Struggling? They won one and lost one, anyone would think they’d drawn one and lost 7. They beat Leeds without him. The team that stuffed us a few days before.

That’s how to fucking defend. Bottle, resilience, mental toughness. I hope our soft arsed fairies were watching. Fuck me, Carney again. Off button now....

Down to 10, Jagielka off. He’s about 48 but they’re struggling for bodies back there, so good news if he’s missing sat

Same in Dorset. Lots 55-60’s I know have had their jabs. Poole & Bournemouth still getting through the 60+ but other areas flying through it. I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been more push back . Probably coming along the track, as pretty soon they’ll be poor urban areas with high risk folk still to be vaccinated and middle class 45 year olds getting theirs in the sticks.

Not true, he’s nowhere near the level long was under Koeman (neither is long, but that wasn’t your point). He’s average, but gives us something different.

He won players player & supporters player of the year in his third season. I understand people think he’s pretty useless, I think so myself, but let’s stick to facts and not let blind hatred warp the discussion. He did ok the first season & was decent a couple of seasons back (hence his awards). To say he’s “done nothing “ since his first season is pony.

All three were very very good players, all three were extremely competitive. If you think they’ll let a player fake it, you’re deluded. Still what do they know about what’s needed to perform at the top level?

You’re acting like the start of last season was nothing to do with Ralph, that he took over in Jan 20. So it’s not a “couple of poor months off the back of high performance “. It’s a fucking awful run, following on from an 11th place finish. Not forgetting 2 record breaking defeats either side of this “high performance”. Football is not like other jobs, so trying to compare is pointless. What you can compare is jobs in football. I find it baffling that a guy with the record he’s got is feted by so many, it’s like a cult. I don’t want him ditched, yet. But if he losses the quarter final and we end up 15th or 16th, I will. It’s not good enough.

Do you really believe Claude Puel, Mark Hughes and Pelligrino, all combative players, plus the present manager (who I don’t know what was like as a player), let a player get away with “faking it”? Do you believe that all his team mates for the past few years have let him stand around “watching like he’s got a season ticket”. Of course they don’t, you’re writing pony.

Brilliant....How did you celebrate a goal Jim?

He’s a better player than the big lump that came on last night.

He has been awful lately, but he’s not as bad as some make out. Just like dropping Jack Stephen’s didn’t make our defending particularly better, dropping him won’t make us suddenly start banging then in left right and centre. He’s average, soft as shite, and mentally weak, pretty much like the rest of them. The only difference is others get a free pass for it.

If we go out of the cup to Boscombe and finish below Fulham,should he be sacked ?
