Southampton vs Liverpool - St. Mary's Stadium

[HarvSFC]

Don't get the ball, just take out the player. Twice now.

 

[thespus]

Ref is bottling this. 2 clear penalties.

Some hit by Coutinho. Poor by Southampton to afford him that space.

 

[Stevencc]

Southampton are being conned here.

Hell of a strike from Coutinho though.

 

[G-Dragon]

Should be two pens but what a goallll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Amazing goal. But 2 pens in 7 minutes should have been given.

 

[Gilly?]

The first penalty decision is debatable, hip to hip and went down quite easily. I would have probably given it if I were ref, the second is blatant though.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Both red cards as well. Referee is a c***.

 

[Renegade]

No surprise with the decisions, Kevin Friend is the worst referee in the Premier League. He was absolutely woeful in the Stoke vs Newcastle game a few weeks ago too.

 

[Madglover]

The Ref has wimped out of both of those there aren't "stonewall" but you wouldn't be surprised at either being given.

I'd say the second is a strong shout the first one the guy went down really easily.

Great goal by Coutinho

 

[Master D]

A ref such as Mike Dean would have no hesitation in doling out a red card in the first few minutes. This guy has no bollocks unfortunately and Prem refs are currently as bad as they've ever been.

 

[RavenBish]

First one wasn't a pen, second one was.

 

[Master D]

No surprise with the decisions, Kevin Friend is the worst referee in the Premier League. He was absolutely woeful in the Stoke vs Newcastle game a few weeks ago too.

Friend is diabolical to say the least but Jon Moss and Mike Jones make him look like prime Collina.

 

[thespus]

"Going down too easily" does not negate a clear violation of the rules. No clue why it's so readily used as rhetoric in these discussions.

 

[Storzy]

It's been a poor weekend from the refs. This game, Chelseas and ours were all littered with mistakes.

 

[Megaclyde]

All Lovrens actually done is play the ball back to Mignolet or hoof it to a Southampton player

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Wow the referee gave us something.

 

[Master D]

I cannot believe some of these decisions. Is it possible to substitute a ref?

 

[Gilly?]

How has Can not been booked there?

 

[G-Dragon]

Rodgers needs to bring on sturridge and balotelli. This clearly isn't working.

 

[Madglover]

"Going down too easily" does not negate a clear violation of the rules. No clue why it's so readily used as rhetoric in these discussions.

Probably because it makes it look like a dive rather than a foul. In this case the player didn't look like he had been fouled because he knocked the ball too far in front of himself and went down theatrically.

The second one was surely a pen though

That is a pen as well

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

That should probably be a pen as well xD

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Got the ball before the man. No penalty.

 

[Stevencc]

2-1 now in definite pens not given.

 

[G-Dragon]

Clear pen for us denied as well.

 

[Megaclyde]

Didn't see the first incident, but I don't think either of the other 2 were panalties

 

[Master D]

Fonte got the ball, what are they talking about?

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Got the ball before the man. No penalty.

Doesn't work like that.

 

[Storzy]

Doesn't work like that.

It doesn't?

 

[RavenBish]

Is Alan Smith fucking mentally challenged?

 

[HarvSFC]

No idea why Mane didn't start.
