Southampton v Southampton old boys (Liverpool) 22/02/15 KO 4.15pm SKY SPORTS1

IrishSkyBoxer

Lovren is septic lads, anxiogenic, he is a liability.

Harry Palmr

I'd love to know why Can and Lovren are the wrong way round.

The ref and linos are not really keeping up with play. The weather is ****ing terrible for everyone.

He's been muck for years. Had a lot of promise when he first came on the scene, though.

KingdomYid

Referee having a shocker.

Good first half. Referee has been very poor. Wonder goal from Coutinho after 3 mins.

Jaysis let off for Liverpool there. Mig lucky he didn't handle it.

Actually he did, very lucky.

By the way, your initial view of the Sterling penalty was correct . It was in fact I who was engaging the privilege of wrongness, apologies.

Lovren is just awful. He'll be sent off in this game if there's another half like that.

Blondie919

The ref must have been abused by Southampton fans on his way to the match. Or else he just doesn't like them.

Only the Allen one was robbery.

I though it hit his hand after it bounced off his face.

First one was a peno and a sending off?
Would have been ridiculous.

Can pulled him back, probably not enough for him to go down, but enough to impede him from a clear shot on goal. Which is a clear foul, inside the box, from the last man, to deny an obvious goal scoring chance.

Peno and red card.

we miss Sakho

Southampton unlucky to be losing this.

I'd say it's because he trusts Can to play anywhere, but Lovren very much needs to be supported and get a more winnable match-up (ie. not up against Clyne.)

DDC1990

Jaysus, getting battered here.

Lucky not to be 3 down and be down a man!

Midfield getting totally overrun, Allen/Lalana not good enough against a physical midfield.

Giving an awful amount away.

Turtyturd

What a half of football...Liverpool well on top..unlucky not to have a peno too.

He's brutal. Clear peno for pool and clear sending off for handling outside the box.

Ranchu

Dreadful officiating. 3 penalties and a sending off not given.

Well they have thrown Ashley Barnes to the wolves yesterday even though he played the ball before his follow through connected with Matic

you cant be serious

Today shows how important Sakho is not only to the defence but to retaining possession in midfield.

Lapin

F off Dunphy.

garra

Brilliant by Migs. I thought he had just redeemed himself, seems like he has transformed into Neuer now

quarryman

And Mignolet should have saw red there too.

Must be one of the biased refereeing performances I've ever seen.

Would love to see the Saints destroy them now in part 2 after that.

Sideshow Mark

Missing Sakho and Lucas big time.

irishfeen

The ref having an absolute howler here .. Southamption are going to be raging if the don't pick up something here.

In fairness to the ref he can't tell from his angle. Needs the linesman's help there.

Stating the obvious but Allen and Lovren are f***ing awful

Definately

Osmosis Jones

Just because fans shout for a penalty doesn't mean it's even a possible one. There was one proper shout for each team. Ref has been poor all round.

Harry Palmr

impossible to tell really!

5starpool

Lol at that first half. Kevin is our friend so far anyhow. Some strike by Coutinho though.

Gbear

Maybe it's just raining so hard that the ref can't see?

Well he has been awful and its costing Southampton more than Liverpool clearly but he didn't give the penalty for the Sterling one either so it's unfair to say he is biased. He is just bloody horrendous.

He put his hand on him, no pull happened at all

I've seen them given but its almost unbelievable, with the benefit of a replay that you actually think its a foul. Stupid even.

You focus on your team making the magic 40 points. The league wouldn't be the same without you

hullaballoo

I had to ragequit the match after the third clear penalty wasn't awarded. Looks like all I've missed is a few more poor calls from Friend. Shame, match itself was decent enough.

niallo27

I think the ref is doing ok. Maybe sterling should have had a pen but them things swing in roundabouts.

Gbear

For all the stick he's getting, of the big decisions really only the Allen penalty was a poor call.

For Mignolet, it's right on the edge of the box and if anyone is going to spot it it's the linesman.

The Djurdevic penalty call was a complete dive and the tackle on Sterling was excellent.

Again with the Allen one, the linesman needs to be calling that if the ref doesn't.

You drunk on this wet Sunday afternoon mate?

citytillidie

There we go chest 1st so would have been a harsh call

SlickRic

I don't know how any objective fan could think Southampton were robbed that half.

Can on Djurcic - no pen.
Allen challenge - pen.
Sterling shout - 50/50 whether it's a penalty or not.
Handball in Liverpool box - no pen.
Mig block - on the line, also hit his chest then hand, would've been extremely harsh indeed.

Get Moreno on for Markovic, Clyne is running rampage down our left.

It hit his chest and then his arm.

Not a chance.

Unsurprisingly Henry sees no issue with the handball.

No need to be uncivil. The hand on the shoulder is enough to slow him down and affect his shot. From behind, no attempt to play the ball.

I don't see how you think it's not a foul.

NukaCola

The ref is going to make a few big calls in the 2nd half. Someone will get to him at HT.

Anyway doesn't matter.
Look where the lines man is.
