Actually watch it at 0.25 speed on the replay from behind, Pope has that all day long

Has that utter dickhead and his crew of charlatans been Mussolini'd yet?

[huss9]

tbh for the first half hour the ref was great.

liverpool doing their usual thing of barging into players, and nudging players going up for headers but he nipped that in the bud - ekitike was a right cunt from the start.

ref lost it after the red card.

I don't think the ref was the issue, the problem these days is VAR which is called on selectively in favour of cartel teams. The new holding/grabbing in the penalty area has already been used to ensure results in this way.

The ref was a Slot wanna be - though he was refereeing at one point

 

Yet I heard media saying on the way home he got all decisions right

Nothing wrong with his performance, but Robert Jones is an absolute unit.

Bump... for Clear and Obvious reasons. 🤣

Yes it's strange how all the VAR decisions have gone in FAVOUR of the cartel teams so far. Who would have thought?

That ankle breaker in the Middlesbrough game and only a yellow card

[Stifler]

Referees well paid off this season.

Chelsea decisions today, the Man Utd ones, us not being allowed to go anywhere near a Leeds player today, I fully expect the referee to punch Watkins in the Villa match tomorrow.

[Virtua Stiva]

Unbelievable home ref today. He’d better repeat that second half when he’s up here in a couple of month 

[Famous Nick]

dont get how Burnley offside was offside.

 

these type of goals never taken away if Sky6 club scores them. never. like his hand/arm is offside. but he couldnt score with that anyway. Man Utd already has more points due to VAR than should have. 

I hope clubs will bring this up next meeting outside Sky6. Fulham manager was also very vocal, well they just had Man United, Chelsea games in a week, very questionable things happened vs Fulham both games, surprise surprise. and the horrible ref we had vs Liverpool. Konate push with a yellow already, Gravenberch scissor tackle, Van Dijk elbow etc., extra time until Liverpool wins.

 

when Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United will score from same tight offside it will be explained oh it was only his hand on offside position so goal stands.

 

[Kid Icarus]

Think it's his sleeve, which isn't classed as handball and can therefore be used to score? It's basically the finest margin possible

Looks like Anthony Taylor was doing Anthony Taylor stuff at the SoL today

The referee was shocking for us today. Liveramento booked today for a good tackle deemed to be from behind. 5 minutes later I think it was Ramsey, Leeds player goes straight through the back of him, nowt given. There were loads of those mistakes by the referee too many to mention actually. However here are two, their centre forward arches his back and arse into Botman, free kick to them.

Osula racing a through ball whereby the defender attempts to blatantly block him but falls over, free kick to them. Shocking.

Well said that man, people should be adding their voices to his and creating some fucking volume on this but they won’t, we’ll just carry on and it’ll happen every weekend and occasionally someone will speak up a bit louder and get fined for it and then it’ll carry on some more

The little arsehole today couldn't even stay consistent for a single half of football. The bar for a foul was just being waved up and down at precisely his own discretion throughout the match. One minute he was letting it flow and waving players to their feet and 3 minutes later giving fouls for players collapsing as soon as they were touched. Makes for an incredibly frustrating watch, it breaks the play up, lots of restarts and was exactly the type of referee you want if you're looking to grind a point out. We were undoubtedly poor today and didn't deserve to win but thought the ref was giving them the exact performance Leeds were dying to have. He's not the reason we didn't win but the way he went about things didn't help

Spot on.

"I stand on the touchline, you score a goal and I feel like there's a million things that go through your mind - a checklist. Was it offside? Did he step on his toe two minutes before?"

 

 

It's ridiculous that we're in this situation - a lot of us have been saying this for years
