Anyone have a clue as to why the keepers assault on Rasmus went unpunished yesterday? aside from a trip when an attacker goes past or perhaps a spot of rape, it seems keepers can get away with anything.
frustration was compounded by the way their scorer went down on the touchline when Rocas fingernail brushed his cheek
overall I thought the refereeing was good but for me that was a stonewall penalty
Just seen Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith savaging Dermott Gallagher on SKY.
He gets as far as saying it's not a penalty.......
Any of the top 6 would have got a pen. Klopp would have been on the pitch giving his "advice" to the ref!
Lets see what happens as the season progresses with similar incidents like this.
We can grumble then
I cant remember who we were playing against but didnt Meilser have a similar attempt at punching a cross last season, missed the ball and got the player, very much the same as Saturday. That wasnt given as a peno then so i suppose what goes around comes around,
Cant remember who that was against, any of ye remember?
100% pen as Rasmussen headed it and then got clattered late.... I don't know why it wasn't given and even went to VAR but don't know the reason for it not being given
Keepers seem to get protection and immunity - that's nothing new. This season the refs have been told to let more go, allow physical challenges, so maybe this was a first day interpretation - but I agree with you it was a clear pen.
