How corrupt is football?

[SE10 Wolf]

The ref who signalled the linesman to put his flag up is not even looking at Nunes there and is looking at the ball as you’d expect.

Smells bad this decision. Nunes stuff seems to be made up after the event. Would love them to publish an audio of the VAR ruminations.

Quite. The alibi doesn’t stack up and that’s the tell it’s a stitch up. This is the moment. I’m certain of it.

 

[Spitfire]

Yes lino flags ridiculously late if the decision is for Nunes not Toti Gomes. Seems to me lino has flagged for the latter, and replays and VAR have cobbled together the reason to rule it out.

Truly ridiculous decision.

The thing is if he flagged for Nunes why didn’t he flag straight away, as that’s not normally a situation where they would delay the flag, i.e. not an imminent goal chance. It all stinks.

I knew they’d changed that offside rule, how can I know that and yet not one of the officials did ffs?

And the offside is just hilarious. No doubt it was tight but no VAR for that particular passage of play?

Just **** off, cheats.

In answer to the OP question - IMO it is without doubt extremely corrupt.

There have been so much evidence since VAR was introduced that is obviously there to ensure the FA and the Premier League get their favourite teams to win matches.

Was the linesman responsible for flagging Nunes the same one that didn't flag the Nunez handball right in front of his face first half?

 

[GateWolf]

Why are we even using VAR when a lot of clubs hosting games today don’t have it?

it’s either all or nothing otherwise the rules aren’t applied consistently across the same competition

Cheated end of discussion , game is rotten

Unbelievable, not even a hint of offside about it

That’s as clear as it can be

Best I could do

 

[JOSWolf]

ITV a disgrace making excuses after the game for our disallowed goal and Salah's goal. No proper replays with lines either.

 

[DasWolf]

From the same linesman who can't see an obvious handball in front.

That's no way near offside.

****ing robbed.

Here's my attempt. Approx. 4 feet on side.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

It’s a ****ing corrupt **** show

 

[Norwegian Wolf]

Thinking of going to the replay, but I want the football authorities to tell me what the score is going to be before I do.

 

[waggys left foot]

It's poor all round -failure to have camera in the right place and a dubious rule -but corrupt ? No I don't think so ,our media would be all over it if it was,but you can understand why those who believe in conspiracies overlook the obvious explanation =-that there are still too many **** ups when VAR was meant to eliminate them .

 

[mcwolf]

Just a reminder. Mike Dean is from Birkenhead and his son's are season ticket holders at Anfield. Corrupt, cheating *******s.

 

[arctic rime]

As I keep saying , it’s bent !

 

[JOSWolf]

Throw in the ****ing tv pundits too acting like it’s all fine and the correct decision was made. ****ing clowns.

Not a surprise when it is Liverpool and also ITV coverage and commentary was a total disgrace. The biased views and tones were blatantly obvious throughout the game. The game is turning into a disgrace with the media love in for so called top six. They were banging on about the lad Liverpool have signed all night when RAN looked miles better but hardly anything on him or Neves amazing passing forwards. The media love in with top six sides is ruining the game in this country and will only get worse. ITV are a joke.

 

[JOSWolf]

Why is Mike Dean on VAR for this game tonight?

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

Let's also not forget that for our first goal, Jimenez was tackles from behind. It should have been a free kick and a booking.

Nothing. Obviously worked against the cheating ****ers.

Are we also meant to forget before the corner was taken by Nunes scored, there was a ****ing camera right next to him looking over his shoulder?

Laughable load of *******s. These ****ers are taking the **** and should clear off and let competent people take charge.

 

[Plastic Shrapnel]

The Beeb just showed a camera angle further back that clearly shows the corner of the pitch, he was onside.

 

[maws]

And if the linesman thought it was offside, why didn’t he raise his flag as soon as Matheus received the ball??? Match of the day gage just clearly shown even as Toti puts the ball in the net his flag is down

CORRUPT

Amazing isn’t it there’s now video now of it!!!!!!

This is the case in hockey and baseball. It has to be conclusive to be overturned.

However, this looked shockingly different.

Baseball? Oh you and your Americanisms!

Video with 'Checking for Offside' in the corner, it was available to them clearly

Posted on this on the verdict thread.... to me Robertson looks where he is planting his feet and trys to make it look like an accident.

Hardly anything was mentioned on TV about this and it didn't have a VAR check despite the dangerous play.

If this had happened to Salah, Kane , Rashford etc there would be uproar.

What a ****ing ****. Lets make sure we give the dirty rat a nice welcome at Molineux. Adama should be made aware of this.

 

[JOSWolf]

So it would seem from that the ref had no clue wtf was going on and wanted the lino to flag in the hopes var would sort it out.

What was the ref doing there?

 

[Howler]

Lino is a ****er for flagging in that situation tbh, there's no clear offside and there are bodies everywhere so keep your flag down, ****er. No camera in place to prove the lino wrong, so so convenient corrupt.

 

[Gasman]

We the fans need to take action to remove VAR from our game - it will hurt us in the short term but we must do it (assuming this is the view of the majority).

the way to do it would be to boycott TV games - we know from the pandemic that games in empty stadiums aren’t attractive to broadcasters. I would be happy to do it - but would everyone else ?

What about mass turning round and not watching the match?

 

[JOSWolf]

To say there was no camera angle is a lie. They are liars,

Agree.

 

[Hawkguy]

Baseball? Oh you and your Americanisms!

???

 

[thommo1984]

It’s funny, I’ve never given any time to this ‘corrupt’ stuff, always just put it down to human incompetence - but tonight feels different.

There’s just too much here that doesn’t make sense. It’s not just ‘bad’ decisions. How do they not follow the rules for Salah’s goal? How can they claim VAR didn’t cover that area of the pitch?

It’s all so odd and it really really stinks.
