Rugby referring is so far in advance of football,Maybe too much involvement from the bigger teams to not allow this??

Shame our averages aren’t 1 in 12.
We’ve scored from 1 corner this season despite having 100+.
I think we just have to accept that everybody including referees make errors and VAR is crap.
Personally I would abandon VAR and go with a referee but stay with goal line technology because of its' near instantaneous decisions.
However that said, top level referees obviously need much, much better top level training than they are obviously getting now.

Excerpt from The Times report on the game:
"
Perhaps the pressure the home side had Liverpool under was a factor. Forest’s defensive structure, with its tight, compact lines, was brilliant and their patterns and pace on the break threatening. Nuno selected an attacking quartet with counterattacks in mind, four express trains — Divock Origi, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White and, through the middle, Anthony Elanga. They were dangerous from the early moment when, driving on to a pass from Nicolás Domínguez, Origi held Robertson off and flashed a shot close from 20 yards and he should have scored when Elanga went through on Origi’s pass in the 23rd minute. However Kelleher, clearly well-schooled at one-on-ones by a master of them, Alisson, leaned to his right, inviting a shot to his left and Elanga took the bait, putting the ball there. Ready for it, Kelleher shot out his left leg to save."
Wonderful to see such praise and should fill us with positivity for the battles ahead.

Check out the mistake Spanish ref Gil Manzano made yesterday in the Real Madrid game.

Ref blew the whistle at a time that Madrid didn’t like. What’s the actual mistake?

He's always desperate to cover for errors by the refs, often at odds with the ex-proffessionals who are also watching. It's pathetic. I'm sick to the stomach of officials.

I wish this would happen more often. Seems to be the trend nowadays to blow at the end of the current phase of play run than when the actual time run out.

Exactly. I appreciate it’s annoying for Madrid but I think it’d be more annoying for the other team if Madrid were allowed to score after the time had run out.
Unless there’s something in the laws of the game for it then it sounds like Pynchon is making things up on the spot and showing favouritism - again.

Anyone still replaying those last few minutes in their head on loop? Still so hard to process. Possibly the most traumatic moment I've experienced live at the City Ground. I just can't believe Taiwo has done that. Inexplicable.
And the more I reflect on it the more I'm absolutely certain that what I witnessed from Tierney was the closest thing to corruption I will probably ever see at an English football ground. Running out of rational explanations for it. Something really sinister is happening and Howard Webb knows it.

I said in the first half to the chap stood next to me "flaming refs", top 6 bias etc etc, and he said "Your not one of them are you".
By the end of the game, no words were needed, we just nodded at each other

Jesus this lot are thick.
Liverpool were right to get the drop ball because
"Verdict: Because Konate (on the defending team) went down in the penalty area."
Shame that's not the rule.
To emphasise how right they were they quote expert witness Phil Neville.
"To me it's an error, no doubt, Forest should've got the ball and the pattern of play would change" - not sure how that makes their case. Maybe because he goes on to say that maybe they would have scored anyway. Maybe if he'd carried on playing till age 50 Phil Neville may have been a decent footballer - who knows?

I find it best to avoid looking at them, let alone starting a conversation with one.

You do not blow the whistle at that moment. You are courting controversy. It's not a "trend". It's called being smart. If any ref had done that to us this forum would go into uber meltdown.

OK this interesting again because for me this is referees or you in particular deciding to apply the rules when you see fit and not when they should be. If the time is up then the time is up.
