I think that’s the idea…It’s hard enough to try and win at Anfield, when you get decisions like that it’s virtually impossible.

So he doesn't have to pay for a ticket.Why is the 'Spitter' allowed to commentate on Liverpool games?
Far from making things fairer VAR has actually introduced a whole new level of bias.He was on the floor while 3 / 4 wolves players around him had arms up appealing!
I actually think you could argue konate was running back and Toti stepped into his path, so whether it’s a pen is debateable - but ‘neutral’ carragher dismissing, var barely looking and sky / motd glossing over it, are the issue here
It really is one rule for them….. 48 games without a pen against them, no home defeats in Prem Lge since 2017
No quibble with how good they are - but rules should apply to all. To those saying ‘it’s always been like that’ - well var etc has supposedly created a fairer game. Not if bias still exists!
Gobber Carragher?Why is the 'Spitter' allowed to commentate on Liverpool games?
I showed it to a Utd supporting mate of mine who usually disagrees with me but even he came back with “that’s blatant”.
The fact we didn’t even get a replay was really, really suspicious. I don’t want to be that conspiracy guy but even the “impartial” broadcasters brushed it under the carpet and didn’t revisit - they did, however, revisit a couple of appeals by Liverpool which weren’t given a few times if memory serves.
Something fishy about it all still.
They didn't show the incident at all.Did Motd show it as I don't recall them having a close look either.
Yea, this is it for me. It's not so much the impact it would have had on our season (very little other than a few places) but it's the way it got completely ignored after the rapid VAR check and then I wouldn't be shocked if Sky got the remit to not show the replay.As the Smiths would say, What difference does it make? It makes none…
Well truth be told, drawing or winning would have meant we finished 8th or 9th not 10th, and we’d have been 2-4m better off. I’m almost past caring about the blatant bias in the officials and tv coverage, but the word “almost” is deliberate!
I don't think it's a conspiracy favouring say Liverpool over City. Remember City's penalty against us? But it's past the point of deniability that there is at least an unconscious bias towards the Sky Six. Any of the Six get that incident against any of the lesser mortals, and the on field ref gives it nearly every time, and VAR gives it the rest of the time. If there is a very odd occasion that doesn't happen, it would displace Ukraine from the headlines on the BBC.Yea, this is it for me.

The PL would much rather Liverpool win the league than City so nothing really shocks me any more with the lengths they would go to in order to get certain clubs where they want them to be.
I'm not really bitter about this decision as such, it's just the complete silence surrounding it which is a little fishy.
Biased MOTD did not show it at all! Really poor coverage of the match all in Liverpool’s favour apart from goal and Donks miss. I now have to listen to games on radio as my ill health has forced me to give up my season ticket . But Wolves radio were convinced it was a clear penalty. I know they are biased on our side but now I’ve seen it it was a clear shove in the back.Did Motd show it as I don't recall them having a close look either.

Well true! It would be nice to think we could go to Anfield with a fair chance of winning, doesn’t seem like it though.I think that’s the idea…
No replays and no comments. Mind you, they said absolutely no words about either Wolves or Villa after showing the highlights!
There is also the fact thst their first goal looked like it could be offside. Abd while i don't know either way, there was littke scrutiny, no lines, 5 second check, done.I showed it to a Utd supporting mate of mine who usually disagrees with me but even he came back with “that’s blatant”.

From my recollection; mane fell over a gust of wind whilst in the vicinity of Coady. Doesn't mean i'm not surprised it wasn't given. He was close, but it didn't look to me that Coady fouled himWasn’t there a stonewall pen for Liverpool not given as well? Coady on someone or other as I recall, 5Live thought we were lucky there, not seen either to be fair.
Carragher is an idiot.Was that the one where Carragher said “he’s given him a shove and that’s put him off, but it’s not enough for a penalty”?
It's an interesting list, but (as demostrated by this thread) not exactly exhaustive. I mean just to pick one example, no mention of VARs failure to overrule the ridiculous handball decision against Mouts at the Etihad.Ranking the Premier League clubs by who was most affected by VAR
The 2021-22 season was the third campaign where we've had VAR in the Premier League - but it continued to divide opinion and cause controversy. We’ve ranked every Premier League club from who benefited most to who had the most decisions go against them when VAR has overturned an on-pitch decision.www.planetfootball.com
Also, Mane's first goal looked very close to offside, and yet it didn't look like it was reviewed. On MoTD they said it was, but no lines were shown.Just watched loads of replays (Ryan Leister on Twitter) showing the ‘shove’ by Konate on Toti in the second half. Well inside the penalty area with Toti just needing to touch in the cross put on a plate for him.
How on earth was that not a penalty?
VAR apparently reviewed it straight away and gave nothing.
I’ve watched it over and over again and it was a blatant push in Toti’s back. Absolute stonewall penalty imo. I’ve been wearing specs all my life but didn’t need them to see what happened. They are not rose tinted either!
If that had been at the other end of the pitch it would no doubt have been awarded.
Some decisions against us this season have just baffled me.
Unbelievable!
I think that is the issue. Something can be correctly overturned by var. If it happens a lot doesn't mean you have necessarily had the rough end.It's an interesting list, but (as demostrated by this thread) not exactly exhaustive.

Spitty carragher said 'he did enough', so implied it was well defendedSky didn't even bother showing a replay.
They just dismissed it as a ‘shove in the back’ if I remember correctly.
I think he said that when Hwang was shoved as he took a shot. More of a penalty than the Toti one in my opinion, but would like to see a replay.Was that the one where Carragher said “he’s given him a shove and that’s put him off, but it’s not enough for a penalty”?
And that's exactly why they swept it under the carpet. Could you imagine the outcry from Liverpool fans if they'd gone 2-1 down, down to ten men and Villa had held on for something at the Etihad?A deliberate barge in the back to purposely deny a goal scoring opportunity. Penalty and red card, no doubt about it.
Avoiding upsetting the Dipper fans, notorious whinging ****s that they are, should form no part of any decision making - although l get that it can impact subconsciously.And that's exactly why they swept it under the carpet.
