Today’s games - 2021-22

[JadeWolf]

Poor first half think you can put some of it down to nerves, there’s a lot at stake for both teams.

 

[Stoichkov]

2 very separate things that you've conflated here too.

Laugh at Liverpool fans for losing a football match all you want, nobody has said otherwise. Don't laugh at them for being treated horrifically by scummy police who very nearly caused something truly tragic.

Awful treatment which needs to be recognised. Innocent fans treated appallingly, could have had tragic consequences

I’d also call on Liverpool fans to call out the *very small* percentage of their own who behave dreadfully please

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Only huddlesfield games I've seen are the play offs but that Jon Russell has impressed me

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Well, you wouldn't want to make Jon Moss look bad on his last day at work would you?

 

[maws]

That’s a penalty all day long

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

that’s utterly embarrassing from VAR and John Moss

 

[Blast tyrant]

How has that not been given

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Sorry am i missing something but there was contact surely that's a pen?

 

[JadeWolf]

That’s a penalty all day long

Agreed. Moss was blatantly guessing because he wasn’t up with play. VAR should be giving that though all day long.

 

[Macman]

How on earth does VAR see that isnt a penalty ?!

 

[Spitfire]

That’s a penalty all day long

Definitely.
If VAR isn’t intervening there then what’s the point.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Jesus, stonewall penalty. I'd be gutted and furious if I was a Huddersfield fan.

 

[old wittonian]

A ****ing farce. Thank God that ****s retiring. Sadly one game too late. What clown is on VAR.

 

[JadeWolf]

A ****ing farce. Thank God that ****s retiring. Sadly one game too late. What clown is in VAT.

Paul Tierney who is also horrendous.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

I thought it was a dive to be honest. But you have seen them given in the premier league especially for the big boys.

 

[Stoichkov]

Crazy. Obviously contact

 

[Contrarian]

That’s a penalty all day long

It often is these days. But it's the sort that I hate and am glad Moss didn't give it. The attacker has totally instigated the contact, he's hurled himself over the defenders leg. Fake dive. Glad he didn't give it and wish refs had more courage to stop giving such soft penalties to the usual suspects in the Premier League.

 

[Alienwolf]

100% penalty & Colback knew it

 

[JadeWolf]

In the very least VAR should overturn the booking for diving.

 

[Stoichkov]

I thought it was a dive to be honest. But you have seen them given in the premier league especially for the big boys.

It’s definitely dramatic but colback hangs a leg and there’s contact

 

[Sussex Wolf]

I thought it was a dive to be honest. But you have seen them given in the premier league especially for the big boys.

Same here. He pulled his leg in to avoid contact, then swan dived. As you say, have seen them given, but my initial thought of penalty in real time gave way to no penalty having seen the replays.

I wish they’d ban shielding the bsll out for a goal kick and eradicate time wasting but….. until it’s consistent then that was a penalty

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Initially it looked a dive, but clear contact from the replays, VAR screw up.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Definitely a pen for me, but maybe one of those where in exaggerating the contact to make sure it's given, the player ends up making it look like a dive! Can almost understand Moss, but the reluctance of Tiernay to overrule him is scandalous.

 

[Cornwall Wolf]

Just watching the game is absolutely awful .. league 1 standard at best .. been the worst championship season in years

 

[Ned Stark]

I thought it was a brilliant call as it goes, first angle looked a cert pen but the view straight across you can see the guy has gone with no contact. But it’s Jon Moss ay it so nobody will give him any credit.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

VAR doesn’t get involved in yellow cards. I do think he made the most of it as well, so while a yellow is harsh, it’s not completely unfair.

No contact ? I must be blind then

 

[Dan G WWFC]

It's what I'd call a united pen. Guy makes the contact by kicking the player, he's gone out his was to trip over the leg

 

[JadeWolf]

That’s a penalty as well.

 

[Contrarian]

Sorry am i missing something but there was contact surely that's a pen?

It's a contact sport. Contact alone does not define a foul. The attacker is diving before the contact, the slow motion has shown in.

Too many soft penalties ruining the game these days. Will need to be addressed as it is turning into Penaltyball. There are some interesting suggestions around as it's getting noticed how matches are hinging on "winning" penalties. Get rid of the penalty spot and take the penalty from where the foul occurred seems reasonable. Or even make the penaly area smaller, as players can be going nowhere out wide, so try and cheat a penalty. Needs to be deterred somehow.

 

[waltononthehillwolf]

thats got to be one of the worst reffing decisions I have ever seen...

 

[maws]

And there’s another

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

With the Liverpool thing, it's all dependent on how many had fake tickets.

Those journalists or whoever defending them saying they weren't causing trouble is pretty irrelevant. If you had a fake ticket or were trying to jib in with someone, you hardly shout it from the rooftops do you? You keep quiet and try and go in normally.

If there are hundreds/thousands going in with fake tickets or non-tickets, which UEFA claim, it's completely on those Liverpool fans.

Yes, the police were excessive, and we know that from our own experience, but if you have a constant element of your support that are regularly making it hard for authorities then it's hard to have sympathy.

"Liverpool are a challenge. In the FA Cup last season especially there were a lot of people trying to get in either without tickets or with forged tickets."

This is quote from Steve Sutton, the safety advisor person at Wolves, in an article Spiers did back in 2020.

If that's the case for a Monday night game against us in the cup, are we really supposed to believe they aren't doing the same for one of their biggest ever games?

So, if that is the case, Liverpool need to get to the root of the problem - themselves.

If fans genuinely aren't causing problems and just getting attacked by foreign police, as was the case with us, then they deserve sympathy. There's a lot more questions that need to be asked here.

 

[Cousins78]

John Moss and VAR ouch!!!!

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Are Huddersfield wolves in disguise??? Getting absolutely shafted by var

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Second one is a stone wall pen

 

[Alienwolf]

That’s 2 terrible decisions. Got to feel for Huddersfield.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Huddersfield not wanted by the Premier league
VAR making sure

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

I’m sorry but if you thought there was no contact then god help you
