Have they? That would be news to me. I've watched the majority of the games over the last 10 years, and that's a curious position.
This is genuinely amusing - Liverpool as the Cowboys. Liverpool media darlings? Yep - who cares about the teams from Manchester and London...it's the reds we'll push!
Either you're a Liverpool fan or don't pay much attention. Ask any non-toxic 6 team in the league and they'll have a story about how Liverpool got the call over them. Hell, Newcastle had a player down in the box HOLDING THEIR HEAD once and Liverpool played on and scored. When it was mandatory to stop the game for head injuries. But, yeah, it's a "curious position" that Liverpool get the calls.
Ha, ok Stout. Liverpool gets all the calls, and anyone outside of the big 6 is a persecuted little lamb.

Who do you support, @ASUCHRIS? I'm curious. And, given the attempt by the toxic 6 to run off and create a super league, yes, you're more right with your sarcasm than you let on. And I type this all knowing full well that Newcastle will eventually become one of them. In the meantime, I sit on the other side of that British media fence and actually notice what goes on.
Uh, it should be fairly obvious...it's Liverpool!
Yeah, was against that, but go on.
Yeah, casting judgement on other teams whilst supporting a team with your ownership...pretty entertaining stuff. You keep talking like your team is a minnow, but we all know that isn't true.
Cool - maybe someday you can educate the rest of us with your enhanced perspective!
What does this have to do with officiating?
It's nice to have some PL discussion.

He's there professing to have never noticed any favoritism for Liverpool--he swears!--as a Liverpool fan. Mm hmm.
Pretty much the dismissive, derisive attitude I'd expect out of a fan of this team who thinks Liverpudlian crap don't stink.Uh, it should be fairly obvious...it's Liverpool!
Yeah, was against that, but go on.

The persecution complex is strong still though!

Ok pal! I'll avoid discussing the prem with you, as you obviously hold some serious anger toward Liverpool.
Yep.
Popularity doesn't equate to getting better calls from the ref.
I am not here to say that Liverpool get all the calls to go their way all of the time, or that there's some conspiracy. I think in general refs make errors and VAR is not as good as everyone thought it would be. I am also a fan of a top 6 team and spurs have been screwed on offside calls and handball penalties. last year's game Liverpool vs. spurs I thought there was an obvious red card not given when Oliver skipp got kicked in the head by Jota and of corse Jota goes on to score the game winner. After the game Klopp didn't seem to be bothered either and verbally attacked spurs for being a 'counter attacking team.' here are some articles that I went back to in order to refresh my memory on that boot to the head.
Mason explains why Oliver Skipp is 'a very lucky boy' and discusses Klopp jibe
The Tottenham Hotspur acting head coach has been speaking about the club's present and future ahead of their match against Crystal Palacewww.football.london
Ryan Mason furious that Diogo Jota was still on pitch before Liverpool winner
Diogo Jota scored the winning goal for Liverpool as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3, but Spurs boss Ryan Mason was furious that he had not been sent off for a challenge on Oliver Skipp
This is all Klopp. The team was stuck in purgatory before he came.
Yeah, they had a ton of talent at the end with Rodgers but the Klopp cult of personality was a huge boost.
Yes I agree with most of this. I did not view the challenge on Bissouma as a red at first glance. I only thought it could be a red card after VAR slowed it down. intent or accidental contact for me wasn't the reason not to give a red, the reason to give a red was the result of the challenge that could have broken a leg. and I believe the appeal was upheld as a red card.
I don't really see Liverpool as popular in America like Arsenal and Man United are or were in the start of the 2000's when they were both dominating. Maybe that is changing now in the Klopp era. But in England Liverpool are enormous and that was not an overnight thing with Klopp, but I'm sure he helped get them over the hump with winning titles. Certainly Klopp is extremely popular though everywhere especially in Germany and GB.
Mm hmm. I'm sure he'd want a reply if the call went the other way.
Klopp double downed the silliness of the refs, with the silliness of a replay. The only chance a replay happens is if this happened in the 95th minute or something like that.
I was thinking what happens if a top four slot is on the line and spurs are up by a point? That’s always going to be a talking point. I just want to see spurs win something for a change. Even if it’s a replica trophy.
No he would not. A replay would just open the flood gates as I think klopp even said himself. Last year when Ryan mason, spurs interim manager, critiqued the PL for not using VAR for the boot to the head, Klopp admonished spurs and said something along the lines that they should should not worry about VAR. instead they should worry about their style of play because they can only counter attack. Well I’m thankful that spurs listened to Klopp and now they are not only playing to defend and counter. It’s paying dividends, if nothing else I enjoy watching them again.
I felt the same way last year, losing 2 points against CP due to VAR idiocy and losing a point against Liverpool. Thankfully it didn't cost Newcastle. I don't think that's happened to a team before--I imagine we'd hear a lot about it--but it would make me angry for certain.
