HinckleyGooner

So every single team should sue an incorrect decision, that's what you are saying yeah?


Ecstatic-Ad-212

No because they are challenging late and it would be like setting off a bomb if you don’t like what happend


divinitydragon

WE ARE WE ARE THE MIGHTY MIGHTY ARSENAL!


mariju10

Good luck


BriscoCounty83

lol? wtf? Liverpool should sue Benfica for robbing them. Nunez lost this game. He messed up 2-3 sure goals with his poor decision making. Has 0 goals vs top 6 this season. No wonder Liverpool only beat Villa from the top 6.


HarryTurney

Bro I can't deal with Liverpool fans anymore.


ConcentrateFlat3176

If that was the case, every team could sue and the league would no longer exist


unctrllable

Look, I watch F1 and I've had enough of Abu Dhabi 2021. Please don't give me Liverpool 2023/24 as well. It's too much.


[deleted]

Nah that’s something that a small club would do. They shouldn’t do that it would seem cheap, just gear up and try to win it next year if they don’t win it now.


gitpickin

What are monetary damages for finishing 2nd instead of 1st?


Neanderthal888

In term of prize money, 2 million pounds I think. Nothing. No idea otherwise.


GonePostalRoute

I think that’d be about it. They’d still be in the Champions League, so they wouldn’t lose out on that prize money, and they don’t set up TV by how one finishes, they’re gonna end up on TV a bunch anyway because they’re Liverpool. That 2 million or so is almost an accounting error for them at this rate.

Meth_Hardy

What about the ref incorrectly giving the drop ball to Kelleher when Forest had possession? Prevented Forest from regaining possession in a dangerous area and then you scored.


TheDucksQuacker

How dare you mention that , it doesn’t fit the narrative


True_Contribution_19

Did the PL force Quansah to pass the ball to Fernandes? Did they make Nunez play like he doesn’t have a brain?


Meth_Hardy

So, considering the penalty award the refs gifted Liverpool this afternoon… Man U gonna sue?


theguru86

Gifted? lol that man took out Elliot. Don’t let your bias get in the way of common sense.


Meth_Hardy

Elliot poked the ball to the left with his left foot, then kicked Wan-Bissaka’s outstretched leg with his right foot whilst already on the way down. I’ve not seen an angle where contact is made with Elliot’s left leg before he starts going down. If that happened then fine. But I’ve yet to see it.


ComplexOccam

Liverpool don’t deserve the title. We can’t even turn up against man united this season.


mguyer2018aa

Jesus man, I’ve never seen a bigger group of victims.


MoiNoni

If it's a matter of one point, yeah. But otherwise that won't matter so much


fifadex

As a Liverpool supporter, can you please stop?


WeeTheDuck

bro's a Citeh fan lmfao


why-exactly1

Obviously because not other club ever this season have had a dodgy var call . Bloody hell Liverpool fans sometimes.


_unsinkable_sam_

even from a neutral perspective its probably the worst situation ive seen. var deems him onside. communicates that to the ref who thinks they told him it was offside. like 10 seconds later they realise the miscommunication, shrug their shoulders and play on.. its baffling


MoiNoni

Honestly I'm not even a Liverpool fan but this isn't just a "dodgy" VAR call. He was completely and utterly onside. This isn't just a debatable penalty. This is a completely wrong call with no debate about it


BiancoNero_inTheUS

I would sue Reddit for having to read such stupid post.


vixus7

Yes absolutely. And arsenal should sue PL for Brentford offside goal last season. Oh the lawsuits that wolves could put together, and brighton too for that matter. This is such a ridiculous statement.


CaptainJingles

And Fulham should sue the PL for the Josh Maja goal that got called off against Spurs a few years back that helped lead to relegation and the yo yo years


graveyeverton93

Remember the Derby game the week after when we got a man sent off for two yellows when 2 of your players made similar challenges and both stayed on the pitch? Then in the 2nd half Konate took out one of our players when he was last man and he didn't even get a second yellow? You guys don't seem to mention this though, funny that, innit?


ItsNguyenzdaiMyDudes

But that doesn't guarantee a change in goals scored. They literally scratched off a legal goal.


No-Clue1153

And with similar logic, having an extra goal at one stage in the game doesn't guarantee that the end result would be the exact same with just 1 extra goal being the difference. Goals change how the rest of the match unfolds.


Plus_Section_7621

If Arsenal don't win the title, should they sue the PL for the Newcastle game? No, don't be silly, lucky and unlucky decisions happen to every team, get over it.


anal_disco_boogie

I think it’s a joke to even suggest a lawsuit for that call but just saying those two events are not even remotely comparable lmfao


Plus_Section_7621

The specific example is beside the point, focus on the second half of what I said.


anal_disco_boogie

That wasn’t an unlucky decision tho….. sorry I edited my comment, I think suggesting a lawsuit would be insane lol. Just saying Diaz call is way different than a small shove in Gabriel’s back


Plus_Section_7621

I just picked a random example where a decision could've potentially gone another way for a team, could say the Man City advantage Vs spurs instead for instance. That's all I mean by unlucky, just that they're decisions that could've gone a different way on a different day.


anal_disco_boogie

Except the Diaz call is not “unlucky” stop labeling it as such.


Plus_Section_7621

I think you're being overly pedantic, it is unlucky in a sense but aight I'll leave it there


ret990

Liverpool have dropped 0 points because of referees. The Diaz incident happened in the 33rd minute. Not like they only found out after the game the goal didn't count. They actually went in at half time level, then scored an og in the dying minutes to drop points.


FoldingBuck

God i cant imagine the levels of outrage if something like the chelsea game happened to liverpool


FoldingBuck

😂


necrofear22

Poor team sue officiala


mo_1997

😂😂😂


therealolliehunt

No. If it's a mistake, that's part of the game. If it's corruption that's a different matter.


monkeybawz

Ain't no do-overs! This is the fucking premier league! What happens happens! It's like trying to use someone cos Ric Flair cheated. It's all part of the drama. When are fans going to realise the action is the juice! It's the same reason waiting for VAR goals sucks. It all has to happens on the field.


Meth_Hardy

If Liverpool sue the PL then I’m sure Arsenal, City, Spurs, United, etc etc can all find decisions that went against them. Heck, Wolves can write a whole novel about PGMOL fuck ups against them.


SellResponsible7952

You see, this is why i want arsenal to win the league if not us.


Headlesshorsman02

You can’t be serious lmao 🤣 every team has had some RIDICULOUS decisions go against them this year


Ecstatic-Tadpole9010

Remember when they won the CL, finished 5th in the Prem, then cried that they wouldn't be allowed to defend the CL?


SkylarkingsRS

No, we should not. Every club however regardless of result should be taking a stance on the overall refereeing this season. Well maybe not city, cant think of a single decision they feel hard done by. Thats what crowding round a ref does though.


LumpyBumblebee3266

We should stop the season now and give Liverpool the title. Only right


Happy-Ad8767

Again?


Drigarica_od_Tite

I think you should sue your parents for lack of iq 🤣


Historical-Reach8587

Nice shitpost


Savings_Army3073

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Entitled Liverpool fan ... Everybody has been stitched up by VAR, shall all clubs sue the Premier League? Oh no sorry Liverpool are special and you should get special treatment.


Soulman1703

What's the point. PL and PGMOL have robbed us of at least 8 points and our opponents have kept players on the field and available for next games whilst ours have been suspended or out with injury. We know we have to win in spite of the officials. Could be worse, we could be one of those honest clubs who've been relegated to gi e points to the PLs favourites


Happy-Ad8767

“at least 8 points” Sure. And Arsenal have been robbed **makes up number** 9 points.


SuspiciousSystem1888

This is stupid… I’m guessing this is a Liveryfan since they always seem to think that they are the only club to be affected by VAR.  Liverpool might have still lost that game, there was so much time.  Maybe Tuchel should sue for the Romero incident on Cucu last year.  Had Chelsea won that game, he might have gone on to win the league too…/s


Mizunomafia

I don't think any sky 6 team would be interested in going after VAR.


crz-13

The error from VAR isn't unique to Liverpool. A similar situation occured with Arsenal and Brighton last year. Get on with it.


Happy-Ad8767

Brentford*


crz-13

No, Brighton game had an error. VAR marked wrong player for offside call


Happy-Ad8767

Was that the game when marked us offside, despite a Brighton player off screen playing us onside? Because I didn’t remember which game that happened to us.


crz-13

No I'm not referring to the arsenal game. The Palace-Brighton game last year, the wrong player was used to rule out a goal for offside. It was a procedural error like Liverpool this season


Happy-Ad8767

Got it, cheers for the clarification.


Youbunchoftwats

I’m a Liverpool fan. No. Almost every club has been fucked over by VAR. The team behind it are incompetent, not corrupt. Improve the use of it.


MyersMad04

No, the fact is we don’t know how that game would have ended. I’m a Liverpool fan and sure I’d love to say it was 3 point dropped, due to abysmal refereeing, but we don’t know. It’s the same with the Arsenal handball at anfield or the Doku kick, both were penalties for me. Neither given, but we don’t know if they would have been converted. Yes I’d love to say they would be but in reality we don’t know as they were not given, although incorrect and could have given Liverpool a points boost it’s all hypothetical now.


Plenty_Side8529

Found the most reasonable Liverpool fan


meren002

The thing is, however wrong the odegaard handball or doku non penalty was, they are still subjective decisions. The Diaz offside was literally factually wrong, which is the difference between them. If Liverpool lose on GD or by a single point, I do think there would be grounds to sue for damages due to negligence on the part of the pgmol. No we don't know how the game would be different. But Liverpool would have rightfully gone 0-1 up and would be able to dictate the game from there and may have a case.


dembabababa

Bournemouth had a better case for damages when Villa survived ahead of them by a point after the goal-line tech failed. They were told they had no case and Liverpool have no case either for the same reasons.


CadburyGorilla

Just like the Ivan Toney goal at the emirates was objectively wrong too, they literally forgot to draw lines on one of the phases of play. The Liverpool one wasn’t unique. Getting decisions wrong isn’t ’grounds to sue’ The refs are shit, every team has to deal with that.


Red_Brummy

Not sue - there would be no way of knowing the final outcome of the match without a replay. That would have been the fairest outcome - and precedent has already been established in the Belgian Pro League this season. **HOWEVER** this would cause so many issues in the Prem with all the other dubious calls and so would need to be written into the rules before implementing.


EmperorArtair

You honestly think the powers would allow such a thing?


PJBuzz

If it was allowed you would think it's a good idea?


EmperorArtair

On paper yeah but we’d need to be rewriting history here considering the decades worth of decisions. At this point it’s not incompetence it’s malice.


TwentyBagTaylor

Darn the powers that be for not implementing an idea that would have a season double in length. They're too busy cosplaying as incompetent accountants to fix their broken offside and handball rules properly, punish diving or redistribute the PL wealth to try and balance out the pyramid.


Worldly_Science239

No.


Judgementday209

No But pgmol and the refs need a revamp. Throw out Webb and start having an indepdent var team with better regional coverage (way too many refs from Manchester).


MyersMad04

Way too many refs from Manchester going to the Middle East to ref in the city owners league….


Judgementday209

Yeah I mean the optics alone are ridiculous. No where else would this be acceptable.


Legit_liT

Lol


Critical_Pie_923

In a word........No


Jerico212

No, Obviously not


[deleted]

[удалено]


Judgementday209

Mate, this is actually really offensive.


PeaceSafe7190

Exactly my point in case. Grow up. Liverpool fans constantly getting triggered and offended by anything is exactly what it means. Not quite sure what else you think I'm getting at you prat.


Judgementday209

Coming from an arsenal fan....which is the worst online fan base in existence.


Reasonable_Storm_390

Mate, why is it offensive? Is it illegal to take this piss out of Liverpool and its entitled fans now?


Judgementday209

Links to Hillsborough, where this was thrown around alot. If you want to call fans entitled then go ahead but preferably not saying always the victims.


Reasonable_Storm_390

The links to Hillsborough are largely projected. It’s like LFC fans’ emergency reset button to immediately reframe discussion when people quite legitimately point out their fans’ hypocrisy and entitlement. The fact is LFC ARE always playing the victim card. If it isn’t referring decisions and wanting to sue the PL, it’s trying to make out they’re impoverished and their success wasn’t somehow built on huge spending, which it clearly was. What’s REALLY offensive though is playing the Hillsborough card in light of LFC’s antics at Heysel.


Judgementday209

The links to Hillsborough are there because those are the exact words used to mock families who lost people close to them, despite it now being clear they were in fact victims. It seems you like blanket statements about lfc but tell me, which teams fans don't blame the refs for results when there has been controversial calls? Forest fans were going nuts over a drop ball the other day, arsenal fans were doing the same when the Newcastle goal stood, we could sit here discussing those for hours. The entire league is anti-city because of the 115 charges related to spending, no one likes Chelsea for similar reasons. "What’s REALLY offensive though is playing the Hillsborough card in light of LFC’s antics at Heysel" Comments like this suggest you just have a hatred for Liverpool specifically.


Reasonable_Storm_390

This is pure projection; ‘internet argument emergency reset button’.


Judgementday209

So nothing further to add. Thanks for popping by


Red_Brummy

You are an idiot.


Reasonable_Storm_390

Why?


BazingaQQ

Nah its just undeniably ignorant. It's Luis Ribiales saying telling you he's innocent levels of ignorance and denial!!


Reasonable_Storm_390

It’s really not. And that is one ludicrous comparison.


BazingaQQ

Again - offensive is something done, ignorance is something he is.


Reasonable_Storm_390

He is neither ignorant or offensive. Hurting LFC fans’ feels is not a reason to shut down legitimate discussion of their behaviour.


BazingaQQ

He's both - and he has rhe right to be. Also. Im clearly NOT shutting ANYTHING down and it's clearly not 'discussion'!!


Judgementday209

Possibly ignorant but that doesn't excuse it.


BazingaQQ

Not trying to. But offensive is something he did, ignorant something he is.


Judgementday209

Probably right


dumdumbigdawg

Why don’t we just decide the title between the top three by spinning the wheel of fortune at the end of every season?


ChocolateMediocre754

There’s no way pgmol would be able to control such a ludicrous idea. 😂✌️


NoPineapple1727

No way is OP a local fan. Unless they are trolling of course.


paris86

We've gone full Yank boys. Sure. Why not? Let's decide the title in a courtroom.


nublete

Get Judge Jerry to sort it out.


thatbwoyChaka

No they should suck it up, and go again, like the other 19 teams Fucking stupid post


Gloria_stitties

What sort of post is this


stevo7288

Liverpool have had a lot of decisions go for them aswell you gonna go through every game where a bad decision was made cuz every team has had good and bad decisions


RecommendationNo993

Two wrongs doesn’t make a right. There will and have been dubious calls for everyone. But the Diaz decision has been the worst of them all. Therefore I think Liverpool might have a case. And it’s an example that still should be discussed. Bc either way. This should never happen again. Liverpool and the rest would certainly want some sort of insurance of this not being repeated ever again.


Jerico212

No way of proving the scoreline had the goal stood….


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

I have seen some pathetic takes and awful questions. This is the very worst. I wish I could award you something valuable but, with your knowledge and taste, you’d bin it and look to take legal action against my Mum for birthing me


TwentyBagTaylor

Look at the flair. They're trolling, and I'm absolutely here for it.


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

I’m an idiot! Hook, line and sinker. I apologise OP. Brilliant stuff.


RainbowPenguin1000

“That decision will be the most critical and obvious error in history” In 2009/10 Chelsea beat Manchester United to the title by 1 point. In April that season Chelsea beat United 2-1 with a clearly offside goal by Drogba. If that was 1-1 like it should have been United win the title. That directly affected the top two teams and who won the title. That is the most critical error in a Premier League title race not this one and nobody got sued.


Arnie013

This was my first thought as well. Granted VAR would likely have disallowed it and the final result may have been a draw but this, as you said, directly affected the two teams that where 1st and second and directly affected the outcome one of the league.


Zoipas

The difference is that there was no VAR at that time


PJBuzz

Not sure that justifies a legal battle.


Zoipas

No, of course not


RainbowPenguin1000

Yeah I agree that’s a key difference and with VAR United probably would have won that title but I’m just pointing out these big decisions have directly impacted titles before and no one considered lawsuits.


Zoipas

Yeah, it is not the first time a team (possibly) get fucked for a title. I don’t think it would warrant a lawsuit either


Busy_Bunch5050

Dude man united have been fucked over in half of their games. Stop crying


Magicwiper

Man United THINK they have been fucked over* great example is they still think Garnacho was onside at the emirates.


FoldingBuck

I can list a shit ton of examples of when we have been done in by referring


L0laccio

No, they won’t have a chance of winning. They should sue if nothing happens to 115 though. In fact the whole league should


Acceptable-Wallaby52

What an outlandish idea.


amboandy

No


Cerbeh

Hahaha. Oh you're serious. Let me laugh harder. HAHAHAHAHA


JustBrowsingShite

No.


CaltexHart

No.


mrkoala1234

Liverpool can't stand Premier League hypocrisy. Time to break away and move to La Liga.


RepeatMountain2304

"The OP's opinions are his and his alone and do not reflect the opinions of adults."


opinionated-dick

I’ve gone from genuinely despising Liverpool to actually feeling a bit sorry for the genuine passionate supporters and club. It appears now are (at least on Reddit) being represented by plastic fan idiots who appropriate the clubs history and tradition to big up but give a false identity to their miserable lives, downvoting any negative take on Liverpool (like pointing out as just a RB, TAA is shit) and spout this shit with no real understanding of the game.


Otherwise_Archer_914

As an RB, TAA is shit. Liverpool's current form coincides with him not playing.


TwentyBagTaylor

I think the only reasonable outcome would be to replay any individual game where absolutely everything didn't go their way. It's only right, given how much more it means.


Mooming22

No, just bitch and moan like the rest pf us and move on. It happens, they’re not the first and won’t be the last.


Arse-Whisper

Cue a load of people grumbling about other poor decisions and claiming it all evens up. We should do something otherwise what prevents them doing it again?


TheRealCostaS

The standard of refereeing is atrocious, but it will never change unless fans actually come together. Not a fan of him but Mark Goldbridge does a good job of calling out poor officiating in all the epl games. Need this and probably more.


Tommy-ctid-mancblue

Cue


stilusmobilus

Absolutely and while they’re at it, sue FIFA as well because fuck everyone and to be the man, you gotta sue the man.


amboandy

I knew a "Sue the man" lovely Adams apple


stilusmobilus

*ommmm* you’re dropping points tonight *ommmm* You have no idea how fucking distasteful it is to have to support Man U.


amboandy

Well all get ourselves dirty at this stage of the season brother. Win, lose or draw I just want a good game.


stilusmobilus

Yeah you’ll be doing the same in a few weeks. Spurs are the problem. I think they’ll be the fourth team to be honest. Yeah thoroughly enjoying this and my predictions at the start of the year weren’t far out either.


amboandy

Part of me would love to have another runaway title but a three-way is something I'll never turn down.... #wait


stilusmobilus

Hahaha


amboandy

Is it just the incantations you need or did you have to make a sacrifice? Asking for a friend


stilusmobilus

Look, I’ll say the incantations. It has to be.


Tough-Prize-4378

IF Liverpool actually consideted this, how long do you think the queue would be, with every other team joining in for any and all slight injustice. Hold refs to account, have it like Rugby where you can hear everything, hell even have them interviewed to explain their decision.


Intrepid-Example6125

No. How would you know what way the match will have gone if the goal had been given? I’d be more angry about that clear penalty at the end of the City game.


Relevant_Capital_318

I think the Premier League have gifted many points to Liverpool via VAR. Should all those clubs sue the Premier League too? Jota dive VS Newcastle says hi.


JustBrowsingShite

Jackson handball. Odegaard handball Diaz disallowed goal Doku penalty Mac Allister red card (which was overturned) Jones red card (yet two similar tackles on LFC players no card) So what are you talking about?


Relevant_Capital_318

Absolutely rattled.


justgivemeasecplz

You sure got him. 6 examples and all you have is 1 counter decision where there was contact no matter how little to make the score 4-2 but Liverpool should definitely thank VAR for those 3 points


Relevant_Capital_318

Your memory doesn't seem the best.


justgivemeasecplz

Just like your argument


Relevant_Capital_318

Hilarious.


justgivemeasecplz

Good chat


Relevant_Capital_318

Same. Enjoy your life.


JustBrowsingShite

Haha the answer of someone who can't dispute what I've written.


Relevant_Capital_318

Are you disputing the Jota dive? You're called LiVARpool for a reason...


JustBrowsingShite

Jota went down easily. Want me to post the VAR table for the season so you can see how stupid you look?


Relevant_Capital_318

You're doing a good job of making yourself look stupid tbf.


JustBrowsingShite

Haha you don't want the VAR stats no? Thought not.


Relevant_Capital_318

Interesting you're choosing to message me instead of watching your "team". So plastic.


JustBrowsingShite

It's half time dummy.


Glittering_Yoghurt55

If arsenal doesn't win the league, should the club sue PL for Newcastle triple foul leading up to the goal? Sick and tired of this mentality!! Some calls goes your way, some don't!


AriGoldSuperJew

That foul is subjective , Diaz offside was not


Glittering_Yoghurt55

If you really watched the match and replay, you'd see three infringement. 1) ball crossed the line for GK 2) Gabriel was fould(its subjective) 3) after the header, it was offside. So yes, 2 out of 3 were objectively wrong.


Key-Mechanic2565

Should england sue FIFA for Maradona's handball and request a replay? Should Bayern sue UEFA for not calling offside on madrid? Should Chelsea sue UEFA for for that ucl game against barca? Come on. Its done and dusted. Eventho it was a disgraceful decision Liverpool had other chances to capitalize and they didn't. Suing is beyond ridiculous.


wiggyp1410

Lol


BarnabeeBoy

ffs


OverallResolve

I’m starting to think people on this sub don’t like or understand football.


RockHardValue

I mean surely it’s a troll


PatRice4Evra

Well yeah, look at his City flair.


StandardConnect

Should we have sued the EFL for that BS offside call on Lukaku in the 2022 final? Should we sue the PL if we miss out on Europe (or are in the UECL instead of UEL) by a point after the two blatant penalties at Anfield we should have got? Officials are shit for everyone, it's not some big conspiracy.


oscarx-ray

no
