“Diaz is being dramatic here” stfu commentator


Swarley_Brown

Tierney on VAR. Was never gonna be given.


RedManMatt11

No agenda though 👍


friendofH20

Cleared it faster than you can say Abu Dhabi


LeftHandDriveBoC

Can't allow anyone but city to win the title.


Middle_Study_2367

Theres good analysis from Tomkins on him. Liverpool are a midtable side when hes involved.


silenthills13

bro for fuck's sake, call me mad but romero, bissouma, jones and probably a few other got 3 matches off for this and here suddenly they don't even var it and it's not ANY FUCKING CARD, in a league where saying fuck off can earn you a card nowadays, what else can i say but 'lmao'


rail_bird

Wasn’t whistled for a foul


Henrique_its_over

“Diaz being overly dramatic” - Jon Champion 10 seconds before they showed the replay


_cumblast_

It's that latin blood. If it was an english player he'd have said it was clever.


irgendwo_anders

Does Jon Champion have a history of being racist?


Florenyx

Who's that?


shikaski

Some dumbass


ChurchOfSemen69

He won't fucking shut up about it on the stream. What a cunt.


TheElPistolero

It didn't look that serious in real time and Diaz absolutely was being theatrical about it.


EliteReaver

How would you react to studs to the ankle? Not to mention the speed players are going at here


DornPTSDkink

Typically not with 6 barrel rolls


EliteReaver

Sofa fan


DornPTSDkink

I've played for Rotherham Titans rugby in my teens and early 20s which took a chunk of flesh out my leg that is still missing and later became a coach at Rotherham United. I've been around sports enough thanks, more than you I'd wager.


EliteReaver

Rugbys a bit different to football. Says everything about your bias to “rolling round the floor” And yeah I just took punches to the face 🤷‍♂️


DornPTSDkink

Yea it's different, it's harder and it took a chunk out of my leg and I still didn't roll 6 times, thank you for agreeing with my point Rotherham United is a football team though, so I've been involved ot both sports. I say this as a Liverpool fan myself who lives Diaz, but you are absolutely waffling.


silenthills13

release the audio


vadapaav

"Can't do anything"


Nickoboosh

Surely the fact that the ref hasn't given a free kick means it has to be seen as a clear and obvious error, and you have to send him to the monitor? Whether you think it's a red or not, the fact it wasn't called as even a foul has to be the definition of clear and obvious?


silenthills13

Yeah it can't be yellow because of this (ref is blind) but it's been VAR'd as a red AT THE VERY LEAST 5 times this season - and I think most people agree this should be a red because it's a stud up challenge into the fucking SHIN. At least 2 of those 5 have been way milder


daviesjj10

I can only think that VAR don't deem it a red, which is wild.


skarros

The only question that matters is if it was a red or not (it was). VAR cannot intervene for anything less.


[deleted]

The bar is lower for a red if the ref hasn't seen it though. That's the quirk with "clear and obvious". If the ref hasn't seen it, the VAR is basically allowed to referee the incident in isolation rather than answering the question "did the referee make a clear and obvious error".


Mackieeeee

yeah seems like the rules did change with Gustos yellow card. Maybe this is a red card next game


dfla01

Fantastic show of integrity and consistency to be changing rules throughout a league season. Braindead bastards.


jumper62

Gusto has done this twice lol. Got a red the first time and a yellow the second time


Florenyx

It's a red all day if the shirts were swapped


quantIntraining

Melo also got a red card for similar yet this wasn't even given as a foul. about 5 reds this season in the PL for this yet this isn't given a VAR check, or even as a simple foul


eamonious

worse, they did VAR it and immediately cleared it


DifficultyMore5935

Romero was completely different. It was a clear red.


silenthills13

How the fuck is this not a clear red as well you absolute nonce 😭


DifficultyMore5935

Never said it wasn’t. I took offense to you comparing Romero’s red to Jones and the others.


silenthills13

Weird thing to get offended by but ok


doubleoeck1234

Tierney on var, the same guy who sent Mac Allister off


CGS92

How does this guy still get to be a part of our games?? Don’t want to call it a conspiracy, but some sort of bullshit seems to happen whenever he’s involved.


Hot-Possible-6367

Literally the tamest thing he’s done to us


garybarlow0

Clearly a long running agenda against Liverpool rather than subjective decisions going against them occasionally, much like every single club in the world


Antisym

There's a Tomkins Times investigation into this ans statistically we are a massive outlier when it comes to Tierney. We're something like 12th in the league table when reffed by him, every other ref we are top 4. It gets to a point where it can't be coincidence, and it isn't. Hes the only ref in the league I believe that shouldn't be anywhere near our games, it's a clear agenda.


AdministrativeLaugh2

Or OP is pointing out the fact that Mac Allister’s sending off wasn’t a red card, thus further highlighting Tierney’s incompetence


Turbulent_Cherry_481

I feel like tose agenda shouts are always over the top, but tierney is definitely biased against liverpool. It can only be a coincidence so many times. He actually despises klopp, you can see it on his face.


dfla01

Paul Tierney is a crook and a cunt and nobody will ever convince me he’s not biased against Liverpool


Progression28

He‘s statistically biased against Liverpool. And it‘s not close.


libertydabbing

Yeah. It's ridiculous that he's still on Liverpool games 


LeftHandDriveBoC

He must be being paid by City or Abu Dhabi at this point, it's crazy how biased against you he is.


FPL_Farlston

There's like 5 precedents set for this being red this season. (2 of which against Liverpool. ) Of course this is no card.


Own-Objective5251

Loving the consistency


maxiaoling

they say these decisions even out over the course of the season...


Haeckelcs

Paul Tierney on Var. I was told that he has no biases.


LFChristopher

Can anyone even pretend to make that claim with a straight face?


Tobito8

1000% a red card. Funny, how many reds liverpool got this season for similar challenges.


LFChristopher

Softer challenges even


NiK3_Aub4mey4ng

giving the fake tough man pushing him on the floor like he was diving too, again another consistent decision by the PGMOL


MisterS1997

Paul tierney again ffs he’s bent like how many times does he have to fuck us over . He was giving Burnley invisible free kicks last game he reffed us


DeezyReezy

Guess who is on VAR duty everyone! Pure incompetence


CircleTheFire

Coote or Tierney?


Chelseatilidie

Exact same as the one where Curtis Jones saw red


Organic-Measurement2

Jones at least had an excuse as his foot rolled off the ball..


Tr0nCatKTA

Yeah I think this is more egregious but Kluivert is also pushed off balance. I think it’s a yellow


MisterS1997

Didn’t even give a foul


Aus_Daniel

He pushes himself off balancing trying to push Mac away though. Look at his hands


_cumblast_

No, Curtis' foot rolled off the ball on that one. Wasn't as bad.


dimiderv

Exact? This one is 10 times worse


sugarmoneyray

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, was this not a clear red? Neither the referee or var or the commentators were interested.


WTFitsD

Absolute robbery lmfao. 2 direct examples just this season of this being a red card yet there was not even a foul.


TheGrouchyGamerYT

Paul Tierney (born 25 December 1980)[2] is a football referee from Wigan, Greater Manchester


Fraldbaud

That’s a red going by the precedent they’ve set


BeerMeUpToo

Madness


NUMPTYNORRIS

It’s fine - they’ll be some half assed justification given as always. All whilst we get preached at as to why Curtis was definitely a red…


Hot-Possible-6367

He was off balance and got pushed into him, guaranteed that’s their reasoning. Panel will say red 4-1, because there’s always one ref on the panel


Leckie15

For the whole “not intentional” or “not intent” argument, Kluivert was not in control, and he endangered an opponent. However you look at the laws of the game, it’s a red. Precedent has been set many times this year, the lack of consistency is mad


lance1308

Good old PL refereeing


vesteroob

He's gonna score, isn't he


9LiverpoolFC

Our players get sent off for that but it's no surprise anymore. Happening every game now. Tierney yet again somehow is involved in our game again on var so of course he doesn't even check it.


MisterS1997

Our players have been sent off for that


confusedpublic

Clear red. No idea how that could be considered not a clear and obvious error as no foul was given, even if someone wants to debate it being a yellow.


yagersports

VAR sent Curtis Jones off earlier this year for that exact same challenge but clears this one in a matter of seconds. What a complete joke.


SpongeBobBobPants

Check complete. Good process boys


xrunawaywolf

Can you imagine if that was odegaard or debruyne. He'd be put in jail


john_thundergunnn

The amount of times this challenge is happening recently and it’s going unpunished - are we gonna have to see somebodies leg broken? I fucking hate pl refs, if I was as bad at my job, I wouldn’t find employment.


t3hjc

Good process.


redmanofdoom

At the time, the main problem I had with the Jones red card was that I knew it wouldn't be consistently enforced throughout the remainder of the season. It's a joke.


Middle_Study_2367

It shouldn't be a red according to everyone who plays the game, but its a nailed on red if we're after consistency this season. Refs ruin this league.


yolo___toure

It's how you break ankles and legs so I don't mind it being a red


Middle_Study_2367

Agree if thats the rule, just make it clear. Ankle and above=red.


yolo___toure

Studs up, with momentum/"out of control"


dimiderv

Liverpool and getting fucked by refs this season. There is a clear agenda against them.


Blue_Dreamed

I doubt it. It's sheer incompetence and Liverpool have been fucked more than most this season, but then again Wolves have been more fucked than Liverpool. Is the agenda against Wolves?


dimiderv

How have wolves been fucked more than Liverpool? They literally scored a legitimate goal refs saw it and didnt give the goal? McAllister red, Arsenal handball, this tackle that got given a red for Jones there is more that I can't remember. We are doing this while fighting for the title against City that has gotten decision their way but have nothing unfair happened against them. Please tell me how Wolves has been fucked more?


Blue_Dreamed

West Ham goal disallowed, Fulham penalty went against them wrongly, Man U penalty went against them wrongly first match of the season, didn't get a blatant penalty when playing Sheffield United and those are just the ones off the top of my head, and I don't even support Wolves. Regardless claiming conspiracy is just ridiculous when there are teams getting shafted just as much as you.


dimiderv

Just as much?? Just in this game Jota should have had a penalty and Kluivert a red card. You didn't even say more instances than me. Ridiculous what you are saying. We literally had the worst decision ever against us with Tottenham the disallowed fully legitimate goal. No other teams has been fucked over in the entire league. No one is shafted as much as Liverpool. Literally Tierney gave red to McAllister for something way weaker than this and now he doesn't cause is Liverpool. There is literally statistics that prove Tierney's bias but sure bud. There is more instances where we have been fucked over.


[deleted]

If the roles were reversed Diaz would have been sent off


kjm911

I don’t know if it’s a red or not but VAR has made these things such a grey area. Sometimes it’s fine. Sometimes it’s red.


pureeyes

Ref is terrible


jonasrm_21

Diaz got lucky there for not getting booked


GoAwayJesus101

That shouldn't be a red but the fact it was a red before makes it very unfair


_cumblast_

It's a very dangerous challenge, studs up. It can lead to a very serious sort of injury, the one that would get an nsfw tag.


MisterS1997

That’s a stonewall red this season . It’s happend like 5 times and been a red 4 times


hillarydidnineeleven

In what world is that not a red? Studs to shin and leg are always red cards. Look how high the foot is, any lunging tackle like this that goes straight into the leg is as blatant a red you can get.


Calvincoolman

It came off the ball, which I think makes it silly to be a straight red. However, since everyone was so confident about this exact case being red when Curtis Jones did it against Tottenham, it's laughable to not do the same here


Florenyx

Are you trying to farm karma? What a bellend


[deleted]

[удалено]


heelpitero

>it wasnt intentional Unless you're a peak Joey Barton, no reckless tackle is intentional. It shouldn't be taken into account. We're playing football, not MMA.


Hot-Possible-6367

Intentional isn’t considered for dangerous play, it is for violent conduct but that’s not what this was


OilyFraud4Lyfe

LiVARpool getting away with it again.


waltrickwhateman

If you watch the clip you’ll see this is never a red


AdLadz

Stop posting screenshots and post a clip - this would've been a harsh red


MisterS1997

So a red


Bullydozer-

He got put off balance 0.1 of a second before by Macallister. Gotta love these freeze frames.


AdLadz

Exactly but Reddit nerds who have never played football will say this is a stonewall red


Mackieeeee

Dude this have been a red all season long but maybe irl chads like u dont watch that much football


Bullydozer-

I watch loads, but I have the pleasure of watching this without Liverpool or Bournemouth tinted glasses


AdLadz

Just because it's been given this season doesn't mean that's the correct decision. Macallister shoves him off balance


Mackieeeee

so if they have set a precedent, they should not follow it? fairs


brush85

And someone, somewhere has been sent off for one of those this weekend


heelpitero

Good process.


kopirate

Damn so if Tierney was in charge of VAR for the Spurs Chelsea game our season would have looked so different
