Last season European refs let’s us off with the exact same handball offense that led to a penalty against Villa last night.

This is it, if you view it purely from an entertainment product perspective, bad refereeing increases engagement. Emotion sells and there's nothing quite like a riled up fanbase that becomes more invested than ever.

Supposedly we are paranoid for thinking they’re corrupt and have bias…

You can imagine how much they hate Arteta if he feels like that about Klopp.

I’m more concerned about his lack of judgment in even allowing that to be filmed. And these are the guys making critical decisions in high pressure environments?

We also need to get rid of this only English refs rule in this country, I can understand why they’d want to promote this countries refs but quite clear the whole organisation has been hijacked and taken over by absolute cunts who are more interested in looking out for each other than raising the standards of this country.

VAR should have been what saved them but it has only shown what we all know that the refs are absolutely fucking useless

The cover up begins, expect the boys on Sky to be coming out fully swinging and helping out their mates.

Tech experts reviewing this, guessing they are gonna try the deep fake route first and see how that plays out. Maybe they’ll get the tech experts in sky sports to confirm this is all fake and we should move on.

Hilarious that this kind of shit comes out and its Liverpool, of course. They somehow manage to get perpetual victim status.

EDIT: and I don't mean this to have anything to do with Hillsborough or Heysel, just the way they're treated/represented in the media in general.

    I did not know this, I can't even remember this incident!

      I honestly can't remember much of 1999-2001, literally think my mind has blocked it out. I think the trauma of Man Utd's treble and then watching us fall hopelessly behind the next two seasons and losing key players on top was too much for the young me 😆

      Is it just me or does Coote look pinned in that video?
