Milo Posted 3 December 2023 Share Posted 3 December 2023 2 minutes ago, Facecloth said: You can see him signal advantage as Haaland gets back up, them as the ball goes through the Grealish and it's clear he's away and in on goal he blows for the foul. What was going through his head? Maybe panicked a bit as they’ve been absolutely mullered for the last couple of weeks? Maybe couldn’t handle the pressure of it. No real rational explanation for it.

He played advantage and then before a Spurs player even touched the ball pulled it back and gave the foul. It's just poor officiating by a poor official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 3 December 2023 Share Posted 3 December 2023 Appalling refereeing from Hooper. Why did he signal the advantage then change his mind? Banished to the championship for the rest of the season. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is enough time and money spent into official training? With the amount of money spent in premier league football, are we then dedicating enough if it into making sure those who officiate the game are given the right training/fitness to keep up with top level football.

That's some going. Keith Hackett is always on talksport effectively saying he was great and everyone since is shit and I've always thought what an arrogant cock. But he may have a point. Worst thing is the dross will come our way. I dread to think how wank the refs are in League 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb is at least making public apologies for the mistakes instead of just acting like they never happened. But situations like this are where refs need to be interviewed or provide statements to the media after games. I want to hear him explain that, not hide behind Webb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soar Fox Posted 3 December 2023 Share Posted 3 December 2023 Why do we have to have English referee's in our leagues? The premier league is supposedly the best league in the world.

Lionator Posted 3 December 2023 Share Posted 3 December 2023 Liverpool will win the league. Best manager, best individual players (Trent, Salah, VVD), they always pull it out of the bag and seem to have found that consistency again. One season too far for MCFC and Arsenal will bottle it as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 4 December 2023 Share Posted 4 December 2023 It’s definitely more balanced this year in terms of ability. Haaland hasn’t been as freakish. No coincidence when KDB is out. He’s so underrated and the world thinks he’s great. Liverpool have found that consistency again. As a unit they are incredible when in full flow. Arsenal are still lacking in my opinion compared to them, however they are still picking up points. The gap between Villa / Spurs / Newcastle and the top isn’t t insurmountable. Alex Ferguson always said if you’re within 10 points at Christmas, it was winnable. I can’t really see any of them pushing. They’ll all potentially be in the mix for that 4th spot though. How Ten Haag is still employed is beyond me. Chelsea are also starting to improve. Everton will finish mid table, even with the points deduction. The standard at the bottom end is as good as the top end of the Championship this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
