@LfcShaunjudge And bare in mind Gabriel plays for a side that made Norway of the olden days look like prime Brazil

Actually a decent idea

[Jurgen's Army @Pault9810]

@JamesPearceLFC Why not a penalty points system for referees like on the roads, when you hit a certain level you get a lengthy ban from refereeing in the PL! That would soon make them think twice & remove the obvious biases.Howard Webb hasn’t the balls but the Premier League should insist on it!

@JamesPearceLFC 4:1?
Who is the 1?
And why is he protecting his friend instead of during his job?

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@RDuffy16 He was nothing but a Scottish Spaniard.
And not the Scottish from the old days. The ones that had actual technical abilities.
Read into that what you want

Islamophobia, a word much bandied about by Sadiq Khan, is used by Islamists to stifle legitimate criticism

It should be replaced by the more neutral word 'Islamoscepticism'

Shocking but not shocking

The refereeing Liverpool have been subjected to, particularly at Anfield, is genuinely staggering. And I’m tired of legitimate criticism being dismissed as “sour grapes” before anyone even bothers to look at the evidence.

Paul Tomkins has researched this extensively, going back decades and some of his findings are genuinely ridiculous.

Consider these stats from his April 2026 study:

• ZERO opposition players have received a foul-related DOGSO red card at Anfield since 2009. That’s 325 home league games without an opponent being sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity through a foul.

• 3 Liverpool players received DOGSO red cards at Anfield in just 28 games under Slot. More than opposition players received at Anfield in the previous 25 years combined.

• Liverpool haven’t received a penalty in the opening 15 minutes of a league match with fans present since December 2012. Man City received 14 (!!) in that same period.

• Liverpool went 305 consecutive league matches between 2015 & 2023 without an opposition player receiving a 2nd yellow. That’s 8 years. Home or away.

• Since VAR was introduced, Liverpool have received just 2 VAR-awarded penalties for fouls. Man City received 11. Liverpool have also had 7 awarded against them.

• Liverpool received ZERO subjective VAR overturns in their favour before the 28th minute across approximately 260 matches. Man United received 7, Arsenal 6 & Man City 6.

• Salah averaged just 0.83 fouls won per 90 minutes, ranking outside the top 2,000 players in Tomkins’ study. Anyone who watched Salah knows how ridiculous that is given how frequently he’s grabbed, pulled & manhandled.

• Liverpool’s average foul free-kicks won dropped from around 12-13 per game before Klopp to just 9 after his arrival. Only Sheffield United recorded fewer in Tomkins’ comparison.

• Only 51% of Liverpool’s penalties were awarded at Anfield, compared to approximately 63% at home across the league. Some home advantage, eh?

And perhaps the most damning stat of all:

Of the 56 highly contentious league incidents Tomkins identified against Liverpool in the VAR era, 53 (95%) happened when the match was level or separated by just 1 goal.

These are game-changing decisions. Penalties, red cards & incidents that can genuinely decide matches, title races & entire seasons.

Think about Tarkowski’s challenge on Mac Allister, Ødegaard practically playing basketball at Anfield, Senesi’s handball or Salah getting manhandled every other week without a whistle. Oh, and literally disallowing a completely valid goal at Tottenham (no, YOU let it go).

At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?

And what frustrates me most is how quickly people dismiss the conversation as “sour grapes.” As if being a Liverpool supporter somehow invalidates the evidence. You can be biased & still be absolutely right.

I’m not suggesting these stats automatically prove some grand conspiracy, but the disparities are extraordinary. And when you actually watch the incidents themselves, it’s difficult to understand how some of these decisions are even possible.

We’re talking about penalties & red cards. Literally the most consequential decisions a referee can make. And somehow Liverpool consistently find themselves on the wrong end of them, even at Anfield - especially at Anfield - where we’re supposedly benefiting from this enormous home advantage.

Why shouldn’t that be questioned?

Credit to Paul Tomkins for actually doing the research & documenting this over the years.

But sure, “sour grapes.”

I can't understand that NO one has questioned Howard Webb since he took his role up has the so called Head of refereeing ????
I think most football fans would agree it's gone much worse 😩He seems bullet proof JOKE
his time is up
please follow If you're a proper fan of football and help put pressure on the authorities
PLEASE 🙏

@suttonwwwen It’s sad but he’s obviously a threat to innocent people and we as society shouldn’t take these chances on each others behalf

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@centregoals I don’t think he should go down at all, but I do agree that Isak should be waving his arms in the air or else they’ll be more comfortable with not interfering.

Incompetence at the highest level as per usual.

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@Lemonbryz I believe that is the way Howard Webb wants it all the way down. A total control of the pace of the game to protect themselves. They should be neutral and not a controlling force.

Ruining the English games in general

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@Kev1Lfc I’m afraid it can no longer be dismissed as a coincidence. I think it’s time for the FA to step in and relieve Howard Webb of his duties.
There must be something up.

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@markgoldbridge What are we supposed to do as fans anymore. These refs are an embarrassment to the league and I can’t stand them.

Howard Webbs refs is at the worst state the league have ever seen and it says quite a lot.
Hopeless

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@SamueILFC I don’t think he should throw himself to the ground, but at least make a fuss about it to the ref and appeal it.
They obviously won’t review it otherwise

[Samuel @SamueILFC]

Arsenal have pulled 3 players in the box and no penalties given. Absolute joke

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@CultFooty Shares some similarities to Gascoigne don’t he

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@realMaalouf This is actual official records by Denmarks statistics 📈

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@TalbiWaves I would’ve loved to be around when he left the room, to hear the reactions of the others 😅

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@FrankTa18112324 @SOLMANRACING @AddedtimeX_ Also, the player sales that keeps the net spend down, shouldn’t even be be there to begin with, if not for cheating.

And let’s not talk about facilities and some of the best paid staff around. Those figures do not come in to net spend conversations

[Niklas @NatheoMi]

@SportsUncensrd @piersmorgan He’s right and everyone bar Arsenal fans sees it
