Liverpool V Leeds match day thread

I do think if he goes down after that "lunge" we get a pen. Gallagher even goes as far as to say a red card as well. I would have been happy with a pen. But it shows that refs won't act unless someone goes down.

We need to start being more ruthless and less nice.

And that's the bit we disagree on. For that to be a pen you have to assume the ref will call 2 separate fouls. I don't think they ever do that in game. Gallagher didn't even do it when under no pressure.

The most likely outcome is that VAR review it, the ref goes to the screen. He sees that the initial foul is outside the box and gives a free kick instead.

The other stuff, I agree.

On a different "what-if" topic I felt that yesterday was set up perfectly for Isak. Leeds with the low block and Frimpong getting down the sides was crying out for a number 9. Either to play with Ekitike or to replace him when he went off.

He's not wrong.

Kev's been on here along time most if not all seem to like him and he's had his troubles. So hopefully all OK with him.
Unlike you, who's the biggest teleclapper to ever grace this forum, and there's been a few.

Hey glory hunter, you didn't answer my question. How much did this trip cost you? Don't forget to add it all up. Plane/boat to get across the Irish sea. Hotel, Uber, grub, tickets, etc. What is the final total?

Nice faux attack on me to show everyone you were at the game Just come out and say it in future. Nobody cares. Not one single person cares about the expense you went to. Well done. Top glory hunting.

So why didn't you ask Kev if all was ok with him, instead of responding with "FFS Kev"?

And I was agreeing with Kev, not that it matters. It only serves to show how stupid you are.

[JockStrap]

Show up ? I'm walking away from the ground you fucking tele clapper.

This is where the glory hunter first tries to let us all know he was at the game. A bit pathetic if we're being honest but whatever.

Now imagine this. You go to all that expense to visit Anfield and the first thing you do after the game is jump on here

Then he makes a point of jumping on the Wirtz thread just to have a go at him

What sort of sad sack are you? Go grab a beer or do something.

This is from the fa website regarding penalties.

"If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick."

"If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick."

So why would Ekitike have needed to go down then? And surely the lunge is irrelevant in that case?

But yeah that clause is in there. Which is very strange. Does it only apply to holding?

Also, here's what it says about penalties:

A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13.

But holding is an exception? It can start outside the box?

Whatever the case, someone needs to inform the refs. I don't remember ever seeing penalties being given under those circumstances. And they all missed it yesterday.

Just you keep teleclapping, and I'll do my own thing.
You're a very strange character, JockStrap.
