    After the howling error VAR made against Liverpool and Klopp’s replay comment you could tell a journalist was waiting for Liverpool to have a wrong decision go for them. I enjoyed the glee in the journos voice as he ironically asks, “Should the game be replayed?” It was even more enjoyable watching Klopp say, “What, of course not.” Like the journo was a complete idiot for suggesting it, which is what we all thought of Klopp originally.

    I’m convinced at this point that we could have randoms ref and be better. It’s so fucking embarrassing.

    City have been getting away with those sorts of tackles for years, free kick only, never a card. The ball was going through to van dijk anyway

    Konate 2nd would have been very soft

    Player throws himself down, minimal contact and had lost possession anyway.

    If they are yellows going to be 10 every game

    And VAR being too heavy handed with the Saliba penalty, after the on field team said he was too close to the initial header

    PGMOL should just be left on delivered at this point, apologies mean nothing

    No team had 2 yellow cards vs Liverpool for 8 years.

    Suddenly all the shit happens a couple weeks ago and suddenly this happens?

    Refs do not seem objective at all.

    This season in particular it seems like there’s way more refereeing incompetence and apologies. Seriously something has to be done because we might get away with it this time, then next time we’ll get a red card for something completely dumb, and then another team gets it.

    Meanwhile what repercussions do refs get? Good process, I’m sowwy uwu, probably taken off for several matches, at worst maybe never reffing that particular team’s games anymore. I get that reffing isn’t an easy job and human error still happens despite the tech, but surely it shouldn’t be this bad.
