Premier League officiating is nearly as bad as Gaelic football at this stage, they miss more than they get right. Can't wait for VAR, don't give a shîte how much it slows down the game.

Tbf if you had watched the Utd game it was just as bad

So, Klopp was sick of conceding goals from set peices a few days ago, this happens. Wonder how he's feeling now?

3-3 draw.

Lets recap - Matip needlessly fouled his man picking up a yellow card and Liverpool conceded at the second time of asking. Mignolet was obviously going to reach the ball and clear it. Stupid decisions costing again.

Ah come on there was no foul there in fairness.

to be fair getting a corner against Liverpool is like getting a penalty against any other team. You have to let them take it.

I admit I felt Vardy initiated the contact /dived as well.

I'm not sure I want to watch the second half now with the inevitable Leicester equaliser and possibly winner.

Not the issue, the point is Matip gave Vardy the opportunity to fall over. He didn't need to as he could see Mignolet coming for the ball.

I was wondering where the feck two minutes came from in the first instance.

It wasn't even remotely a foul.

But Morgan can shove Firmino into touch after dragging out of him by the shirt for a few seconds and it's just "good English defending".

Glenn Hoddle shouldn't be aloud to handle sharp cutlery, never mind commentate on football.

Now while Mignolet was fouled and it should have been a free out I don't think he would have made the ball and think it was bad judgement for him to go for it too, so it was poor defending as they still should not have scored from it.

Still I'd blame the officials for that one, as it wasn't a free in the first place as Vardy dived

Yawns

What foul did Matip make? Vardy kicks him and dives the other way and the ref buys it.

Then keeper is fouled and Leicester get a goal...

Vardy dived, he conned the ref.

I did watch it actually, the whole situation is a shambles, I don't remember it ever being as bad as this.

Osmosis Jones

Vardy goes down because he knows Mignolet has the ball and he's not getting to it. The ref should understand that, he fcuking did when the same thing happened with Salah up the other end.

It was a dive all day long. Then probably a foul on the keeper after. Very unlucky.

He did. In the replay you see him move his left leg to the left to make contact with Matip, I think Martial won a penalty like that last year and was slated for diving.

Fowards have been buying cheap free kicks since the game was invented. That's why with Matip able to see Mig coming he could have just stood off, running in parallel rather than closing in on Vardy.

Osmosis Jones

Also even with a corner for Leicester shouldn't the ref be blowing for half time when the ball went out of play? They normally do for corners.

PhuckHugh

Very poor officiating on two occasions for the Leicester goal.. Vardy diving and then the keeper being pulled back. Poor defending thrown in also but you'd expect more from the officials there.

niallo27

Well they need to get on with it. Leicester were probably unlucky with the offside goal.

They're talking about it now again, blaming Matip once more.

No they weren't in hindsight. Flag wasn't against Okazaki.

The ref is acting the cnut now.

Yeah, was 100% the right call. The fact there's any confusion seems to just be because of Jim Beglin. I'm watching NBC, and they spotted Maguire straight away, with each replay just compounding their opinion.

I really dislike Lee Dixon's co-commentary, with his unending "back in my day...", but he's great for spotting all that stuff instantly. He spotted Vardy's left leg kicking out into Matip to fake contact straight away in real time too. Actually, can we just make him a ref?

Went up when Maguire headed it on, and he was off from the initial ball.

Harry Palmr

Why can't they just whack it cleanly? Skewed clearances are Liverpool stock in trade.

Henderson practically took out Matip

BorneTobyWilde

****ING PENALTY UNDER THE ONE DAY RULE THEY BROUGHT IN LAST SEASON !

~Rebel~

Christ, reffing in this game is atrocious.

Osmosis Jones

This fcuking ref

Both of them at it, silly by Lovern to lose the head

This is the worst refereeing performance I've seen in 6 days.

Worst I've seen since the United game earlier. Seems to be a shocking officiating display every single weekend.

Liverool REALLY need another goal here.

Harry Palmr

Passenger off, Gray on.

BorneTobyWilde

Danni S coming on

martyos121

Sturridge coming on is very unusual, his quality is evident but he's probably the worst player to bring on in this situation, we need another grafter.

BorneTobyWilde

We're fighting today, it's good to see.

Sub at 63 mins & we a goal up.
Klopp gone mad :pac:

BorneTobyWilde

Sturridge so slimmed down.

Charlie19

Henderson should have no complaints there, he blatantly pushed him.

Harry Palmr

Wiji buying a free kick to take the pressure off.

Sturridge on seems pointless

~Rebel~

Phew. Lovely goal Hendo.

BorneTobyWilde

**** yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

razorblunt

Yasss! 3 more so I can relax of a Saturday evening!

BorneTobyWilde

Sturridge MrCool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sets it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

martyos121

Hendo needed that goal so badly. Lovely finish.

Sturridge assist.... pointless sub :pac:

Osmosis Jones

So fcuking happy for Henderson

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp punching an invisible midget

TitianGerm

Great counter attack. Well done Sturridge and a tidy finish from hendo.
